Bury FC have taken a huge step towards returning football to Gigg Lane after Bury Supporters' Society on Sunday confirmed the club is now out of administration and the stadium has been purchased following a takeover.
The Shakers were expelled from the Football League in 2019 and folded. In January, fans moved closer to regaining control of their old stadium, Gigg Lane, after contracts were exchanged.
But the latest development is a positive one for the comeback of Bury FC as they move a step closer to returning to the football pyramid. A fan-led takeover has been new life to the club with the Supporters Society owning 51 per cent of the club and the fans the remaining 49%.
