Nearly a thousand Bury supporters supporters descended on Gigg Lane yesterday afternoon when the club, which was thrown out of the Football League last week was due to play Doncaster Rovers.
The crowd were addressed by Bury MP James Frith who told the crowd:
Today is the recognition that life goes on. We do not walk away. Bury FC does not die,”
“We have got to accept that more than likely we will be playing football in lower leagues but we have been there before.
“I am not here to advocate a new club, I am here to advocate a new focus on the continuation of Bury FC, of football at Gigg Lane,” adding
“We have to keep the football at Gigg Lane alive. The EFL have made their decision, but your decision today from here is whether or not we keep Bury football club alive.
“Maybe not in the Football League for now but alive nonetheless.”
