Carl Dickinson says he has had a long-running admiration for the vociferous, yet long-suffering, Bury FC fans – and he can’t wait to get the famous Gigg Lane roar on his side.
A second vote on amalgamating Bury AFC and Bury FC will be held in May with hopes it will this time succeed and bring football to Gigg Lane by next season.
BURY AFC exacted their revenge on north-west rivals Abbey Hey for their defeat at the same stage of the FA Vase last season. Goals from Niall Cummins and Jonathan Hunt gave Andy Welsh’s men the win.
