Bury Football Club took a step to safety after a winding up order by HMRC was thrown out by the High Court
On Monday, the EFL confirmed that it could not permit Bury to fulfil its first fixture given the lack of confidence in the club being funded throughout the season and the club still faces a transfer embargo and a twelve point deduction when its season finally begins.
“We hope that our ongoing talks with the EFL will allow them to see what we are facing with saving our Club and to please work with us. They are now the only thing stopping Bury’s survival and we implore them to help us.” said Chairman Steve Dale after the decision
“We still have a lot of hurdles to clear from the former owners, but we’re picking them off one by one. We need to get rid of this negativity and unite, we inherited this mess so stop this slander on social media from the few, against those hardworking people at our Club doing 20 hour days to save it. “
