Statement 23.12.2021

We welcome the news from the Secretary of State for Levelling Up Michael Gove, that our combined efforts with Est. 1885 to receive the community ownership funding has been successful.

This funding will allow us the opportunity to complete the purchase of Gigg Lane in order to bring football back to its historic home after a nearly 3 year hiatus.

There are still a few steps left in the process and we hope to provide a further update in the coming days when the legalities have been completed but we thank all the fans for their continued support.

We would also like to thank James Daly MP, Bury Council, Bury College and the football foundation for their support with our application.
