That's the population of the post 1974 metro borough. Most people in Whitefield and Prestwich, for example, don't consider themselves to be from Bury.population 193,800 and got around 3.000 on good days

I don’t agree with that mate. A Town in the same conurbation with better supported clubs in City United Wigan Bolton Oldham and Stockport, Bury were still getting these attendances in their last five years:Bury don't deserve a football team because the people of Bury didn't/don't care enough to turn up and watch them

Proper supporters who deserve a proper club (unless they’re daft enough to vote for possibly never having one again)!

If Bury were a town in the middle of nowhere I’d agree with you, but they’re in the same conurbation as City and United. ¾ of the town will be City or United fans.population 193,800 and got around 3.000 on good days

There are places like Radcliffe, Whitefield and Prestwich in Bury that are as close to Manchester City centre, Old Trafford and the Etihad as where I live in Wythenshawe and Wythy’s in the Manchester borough.

Why 66%? Just merge the two clubs. The MAJORITY of both sets of fans want it so just do it and stop pissing about.

Because that's the individual rules of each organisation. Both have to vote for the merger as a YES/YES.Why 66%? Just merge the two clubs. The MAJORITY of both sets of fans want it so just do it and stop pissing about.

The merge is pointless and bury FC have folded gone and only live in name alone, so let them R.I.P

I have to agree. They love a bit of 'them and us' nonsense.Living in Bury as I do, I get the impression that a fair proportion of the citizens are pig-headed, cut-off-your-nose-to-spite-your-face types. I suspect this is not uncommon in places with a small-town mentality. Not everyone in Bury is like that, obviously, but a fair few are. Bury MBC is actually an amalgam of six small towns. Each with its own special group of backwoodspersons.
Too many people want to live in the past, a golden age that never really existed except in their imagination.
