11.10pm and no announcement on whether the Bury v Tranmere game will be suspended yet... I don’t think their game with Tranmere will be abandoned, I think their whole season is about to disappear. Oh well, at least it’ll save us having to travel to Gigg Lane while hungover on New Years Day...

The guy has got to be joking, he does not care about the welfare of Bury fc, I think it's time that the FA pulled the plug, just how much time does he expect, something is very wrong here !!if this was the likes of Accrington they would have pulled the trigger long ago, like they did before, Well done to Accrington for coming back,

‘Bury’s record from the 2019/20 season would be expunged with League One consisting of 23 Clubs for the remainder of the campaign’ Any need for the EFL to make this point? I mean you actually have to play games for results to get expunged...

I mean you actually have to play games for results to get expunged... 23 team season is fare enough but what happens if a team goes down with a margin of 5 points or under? That's 6 possible points against bury that could of kept them up. Only fair way on this would be to reward every single team 2 wins.

Because then no team can claim the only reason they went down was because they run out of games only playing 44 games. I know you could say it doesn't matter but it will still run the question what if we had played and beat Bury and what if they had beat the team that finished above us. Rewarding everyone 6 points will totally take that away and it will be like we all beat Bury and played a 46 game season. But even then you probably get teams kicking off claiming so and so wouldn't of beat Bury lol.

Every team will have played the same number of games as far as the league table is concerned
In 1992 Aldershot folded after playing 36 league games. All those games were then expunged!

If Bury fold then we have a 23 team league and each team plays the other home and away = 44 games which is fair to everyone, end of story.

What's the difference between giving everyone 0 pts v Bury and 44 games or everyone 6 points and 46 games? Makes no difference either way.

More concerning, as has been mentioned, is the fact that Bolton have been playing weakened teams and mostly gifting opposition 3 points. If they get sorted out it will automatically mean the remainder will be playing against stronger Bolton teams.

If they get sorted out it will automatically mean the remainder will be playing against stronger Bolton teams. Absolutely Danny Cowley did a good interview last night about it and really highlighted some big issues Another issue which the Rochdale CEO mentioned, is that if bury go, that'll cost them £75k in profit due to the income they get from that game - every club is going to lose out on money, which won't have been budgeted for - why would you, as you'd assume every club starting the season should be able to compete fixtures in August!? Some clubs are already on the brink, how are they gonna cope with a fixture list?!

Is it too late to bring Mansfield up and replace them with a non league team. Bold decisions needed.
I read that Accrington lost a pile of cash because of not having their home fixture against Bury

Could be a quiet Christmas period for us this year. An unplanned winter break, Ricketts must be rubbing his hands in glee.

Think some form of compensation from the EFL or soludarity payment (yeah right) from the big boys might be in order.

Should Bury be expelled from the league then the EFL should definitely compensate clubs for loss of income. It's only right given what has transpired.

Well I’ll be looking for a refund on my season ticket as I’ve been charged for the Bury game already.... one thought is the club will have to offer a free cup game instead of the Bury game... they advertise the cost of each game for STH based on 23 home games....

I can’t bloody believe it , Smurthwaite at Bury . It’s going absolutely tits up , Even the most ardent Bury fan would be thinking the Devil has farted in his face once again. The EFL have shown themselves to be unfit for purpose , useless in the extreme . Not only have they let down Bury but the whole of the football league , they are “a disgrace “as one female politician would say .

It beggars belief that the Class of ‘92 were prepared to pump resources into a Mickey Mouse outfit who will never command any decent following when a local club, with strong connections to the Neville family are on their last legs.
