Bury AFC reveal result of second vote amid plan to merge and bring club back to Gigg Lane

Bury Football Club Supporters Society have revealed the results of a second vote to merge two fan groups and bring Bury FC back to Gigg Lane.

Supporters were previously asked to vote on proposals to unite two fans groups - the Shakers Community Society and Bury Football Club Supporters Society (BFCSS). The plans to merge the two failed last year after members of the latter voted against them, with the 63% of fans required for the merger not quite hitting the required 66%.

However, the outcome of the new merger vote was revealed on May 5 and votes in favour were 952 (90.1%), while votes against the resolution were 105 (9.9%). As a result, the resolution has passed.
