Bury A.F.C.
Bury Association Football Club is a fan-owned English association football club representing the town of Bury, Greater Manchester. It was established in December 2019 as a phoenix of Bury F.C., which had recently been expelled from the English Football League (EFL). Bury AFC won the 2021–22 North West Counties Football League Division One North championship, earning promotion to the league's Premier Division for the 2022–23 season. The team play their home games at Stainton Park in nearby Radcliffe through a groundshare agreement with Radcliffe F.C. In October 2022 supporters were urged to vote in a poll regarding a potential amalgamation of the Bury Football Club Supporters' Society (who owned Gigg Lane and the "Bury F.C." trading name) and the Shakers Community Society (who owned Bury AFC). If the merger was agreed, a new society - The Football Supporters' Society of Bury - would be formed, based at Gigg Lane, while Bury AFC would change its playing name to Bury Football Club. However, the proposals failed to reach the required 66% threshold from both societies; the Shakers Community Society voted 94% in favour while the BFCSS vote in favour fell short, at 63%. A second poll is to be held in early 2023.
