Bury Football Club have been given fourteen days to avoid being kicked out of the football League after a third game has been postponed.
The club’s scheduled Carabao Cup fixture with Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday 13 August has been suspended by the EFL Board after the Club failed to provide the additional specific detail requested in relation to a number of its financial obligations.
In a statement the board says that the EFL Board is of the strong opinion that it cannot continue to suspend fixtures indefinitely and, after Wednesday’s deadline for information was passed without a successful resolution, it will now lift the suspension on the notice of withdrawal of membership of the EFL.
The club has now been given 14 days (until 23 August 2019) to meet all outstanding requirements of the League’s insolvency policy or its membership of the EFL will be withdrawn.
EFL Executive Chair, Debbie Jevans CBE, said: “Despite continued efforts, regular communication and dialogue with Mr Dale and his team, the required evidence has not been forthcoming. Albeit regretfully, the Board has been left with no choice but to take the action it has.”
