Bury’s Steve Dale has been pleading with members of the Football League ahead of a Thursday meeting over their future.
The Shakers were thrown out of the league earlier this season after Dale failed to convince the EFL that they could meet their financial requirements through the course of the campaign. They’re hoping to be reinstated next season, with the EFL set to discuss what may or may not happen to them.
Dale seems convinced some sort of vote is set to take place, although that doesn’t seem to be the case.
He’s penned a rambling plea to other clubs for their support ahead of the ‘vote’, saying;
“We would ask before you send in your votes, for our reinstatement to our former position in the EFL this Thursday, to consider your own circumstances, and then give a thought to what has happened to Bury FC.
“Bury Football Club is a Victim, not a Villain, so why was it treated so unjustly?“There is a lot to address in our great sport to prevent injustice, a fairer slice of the pie to the lower leagues will help that before the TV rights disappear and there is no pot to help them.”
The long-suffering supporters at Gigg Lane are not likely to be supporting his suggestions and have come together on Twitter to roundly condemn a man who led them out of the Football League for the first time in their history. They now face an uncertain future and yet more nonsense from the man to blame is not likely to temper their anger, as you’ll see below.
