Goodbye Bury FC

The news of BURY FC being kicked out of the EFL after a takeover bid collapsed is a very sad day for football. Bury are just one of our longest serving teams in league football as they were formed in 1885. They were promoted to League One last season and have won the FA Cup twice. With so many of the small teams now, money is a big problem for them as the sport has change dramatically over the years. The golden days of football seem to be over for these teams as Bolton are now also in financial trouble as the game has changed from a sport to a money making machine. With teams like Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal who can pay out big wages for their players, how is football going to survive in the future for our little clubs. Bury are the first team to drop out of the EFL since Maidstone's liquidation in 1992.

This would have been Burys 8th Season with Golden Goals as they had been picked up this season by one of our players. They will now have to change Bury for another team.
Bury started in our very first season in 1983/84 on where they finished on a score of 68 goals. They became our 17th voted English team to play in our competition. Their highest score came in the 2010/11 Season with 85 goals. The last time that we have seen Bury on our pages was back in the 2014/15 Season with 66 goals. Over the years they have netted a total of 471 goals which gave them an average total of 67 goals per season.
