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.
We must never let another Bury FC happen, says Andy Burnham after Super League fury By the time I got involved, it was so rotten that it just couldn t be rescued.

Jurgen Klopp says he has not sought a personal apology from Liverpool s owners following the European Super League fiasco, but says they are good, not bad people .
Speaking for the first time since the breakaway scheme fell apart, Klopp says he hopes the damage done can be repaired quickly. They all learned their lesson. They will not come around the corner next week and try to do something. Iâm pretty sure of that. But now we have to make sure we donât get any harm off it, a different atmosphere in the club or something. That would be the really bad thing about it. They tried something, it wasnât allowed, so letâs go back to the beautiful game it always was.
