CREDITORS of Bury FC will today decide on a rescue plan for the newly-promoted club.

The Gigg Lane club is in the midst of a financial crisis and saw a winding-up petition over unpaid debts adjourned at the High Court in June.

The financially-stricken Shakers were given six weeks to sort out their future, prompting owner Steve Dale to try and settle the club’s debts via a company voluntary arrangement.

However, a decision on the proposed CVA, which would help to rationalise Bury’s debts and ensure the club’s survival, was adjourned last week.

Creditors of the League One club will meet again today and are expected to make a decision. Should they agree to the deal, the Shakers will face a 12-point deduction.

Meanwhile, the club’s main supporters trust, Forever Bury, have written an open letter to Dale asking for clarity on matters at the club.

Concerns are high that Bury could fail to start the League One season, such is the precarious situation at Gigg Lane.

Having had little official information in the last two months, the supporters’ trust issued a plea to Dale to address six key concerns.

Among the assurances sought were whether staff would be paid, the state of the safety certificate at Gigg Lane, what steps were being taken to ensure the CVA passed, as well as over the club’s immediate future.

On Saturday, a small number of supporters exchanged angry words with Dale during the club’s friendly at Nantwich Town. Footage shared on social media also showed fans confronting the owner after the match.

A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: “At 3.20pm on Saturday, July 13 police were called to reports of threats having being made to a man while at a football club on Waterlode in Nantwich. Officers attended and spoke to all parties involved. No arrests were made.”

Last Thursday, several staff members at the club were sent letters terminating their employment.

Samantha Gibbs, who was only appointed as the club’s venue sales director last year, said staff had still not received their wage payments for May and June.
