When that bid disappeared, the rumour was there were three others on table. “You thought surely the English Football League would extend the deadline – 8pm, 9pm, 10pm came and went, and you do not know what is happening. Then, when the news broke at 11pm, I just sat there in disbelief. It has been a slow torture, a never-ending seven or eight months of hell, of CVA agreements and loan facilities and the chairman telling us to our faces he would sort it. Why did it take so long for the EFL to get proof of funds off a man who you could tell from the get-go had not got any? By Tuesday, there were only four of us players left at the club, and we were told because of sales of other squad members there would be money to pay us what we were owed. I got a text from the Professional Footballers’ Association telling me there is nothing standing in my way now and I can find another club. Here is hoping I find another club, but for the generations of families who have loved Bury over the years, it has gone, all gone. The kit man who has been there for years, who loves the club, who has given his soul to it, just kicked in the teeth. Seeing all the people turning up on Tuesday to clean the ground, the fans from many other clubs coming to help, the love, the optimism, the hope: that will live long in the memory. I believe there is the passion to find a way to rebirth. Related: From FA Cup winners to expelled from the league: A brief history of Bury FC [Mirrorpix]
