This was put forward a few years back.They have to look at merging, it's the future. I know some fans never like it but the club is about to vanish, surely a merge to form a new club from scratch gives them a chance going forward? Oldham and Rochdale seems an obvious one?
Manchester North End was another name put forward. Quite liked it personally.This was put forward a few years back.
They were going to be called North Manchester FC.
It fell through , don't know why.
I can assure you that Rochdale will never merge with Bury.
How about merging with the team that used to share Gigg Lane with them and call themselves the Moston Rag SocksThey have to look at merging, it's the future.

i dont think we should. if we save them then we have to save all the others.... hyde, rochdale.....
one of the main reasons theses clubs are struggling is because a lot of local dont go to games and instead watch us or united.
Harsh but fair Ancoats.also i think the rules state that no other big club can invest in bury and buy them ?? i think you are only aloud to be involved in one club in the same country ??
why should city fans help if people of bury don't give a fuck ?? football is a cruel sport and its dog eat dog, and the little club's have always lived on the back of others helping out but they never learn and a couple of seasons later they are in a bigger mess. manchester city give bury a whole training complex and all they had to do was keep the up keeping and pay the bills ??? even that they fucked up and stopped paying the bills
enough is enough and i would say to all city fans and others don't give them anything more because they have never learnt and never will
Rochdale don’t need saving, I believe they are a very well run machine. No debt, granted - no success, but they turn over nicely.i dont think we should. if we save them then we have to save all the others.... hyde, rochdale.....

Was there a deadline yesterday?
It does look terminal, if the club is wound up what do they do with the fixtures? Is there time to promote teams up to fill the schedule?
What a mess!
all games would be void and with zero points, its to late to promote anybody and bury would have to fold and stop trading and maybe just like others like halifax and Wimbledon form a new club and change the name to FC bury
If they do start a new club it will be northern premier non league if they are lucky, but it won’t be in time for this season. They’ll have a year off to get everything in place. My mates a big bury fan and he says there’s been talks about a Phoenix club playing at lower gigg, which is just a field essentiallyThe problem I see is there is no guarantee that an FC Bury would be viable. You still need to pay the rent and wages. I can see the league being 1 team down at the start of teh season and how do you start up a new phoenix club if 5 or 10 games have gone?

So the league will be 1 team down, possibly 2 if Bolton go as well.
2 less home games a season for each club. That is bad news for the rest of them.
They can’t cos of Salford, conflict of interest.Shouldn’t the Chuckle Brothers be stepping in to save them?
