Bury FC’s 12,000-capacity stadium has been put on the market, after initial attempts to dispose of the asset last year ground to a halt.
Talks are already being held with interested buyers, including an unnamed community interest group, and other parties.
Last March,
Place North West reported that a consortium of eight local businessman hoping to save the club from administration had asked Bury Council to purchase the Gigg Lane ground and then lease it back to the consortium.
However, Bury FC collapsed in November more than a year after the club was expelled from the Football League in 2019, and no deal was reached. The ultimate aim of the administration was to rescue the club as a going concern, enabling it to seek readmission to the football pyramid system.
CLAIM: Ryan Kidd, ex-Bury FC youth coach FURTHER employment tribunal payouts have been secured by former Bury FC involving the beleaguered club. Ex-youth team manager Ryan Kidd has been told he is entitled to a basic award of £3,937 and a compensatory award of £9,000 following a successful unfair dismissal claim. Employment Judge Marion Batten also ruled an award of £3,513 should be made by The Bury Football Club Company Ltd to the former Preston defender for breach of contract. And former youth team fitness coach Jamie Hesketh has also had a similar judgement entered in his favour. Employment Judge Hilary Slater has determined Hesketh is entitled to £1,380 for unlawful deductions from wages in September 2019, and a redundancy payout of £2,625.

Previously unreleased photo dated 17/08/2019 of a general view of Gigg Lane, home of Bury Football Club.. A FRESH rescue deal is being proposed by the administrator of Bury FC - as further details emerge of the £15.2m owed by the beleaguered club. Administrator Steven Wiseglass has released a set of proposals for The Bury Football Club Company Ltd, following his reappointment in December. And in his report he claims, after discussions with the Football Association, that the path could be clear for Bury FC to join the Northern Premier League or National League. But first a new company voluntary arrangement would have to work - and a number of key loans satisfied - before this could happen.
