Plans to merge two fan groups to bring Bury FC back to Gigg Lane have failed following a crunch vote this evening.
Supporters were asked to vote on proposals to unite two fan groups, the Shakers Community Society and Bury Football Club Supporters Society (BFCSS), in a bid to ensure men's football returns to its spiritual home in the town.
Gigg Lane lay empty for almost three years after Bury FC were thrown out of the Football League and later entered administration in 2019. In the wake of the club's demise, a group of fans set up a new outfit - Bury AFC.
