I think we should get together with Barnsley and buy Gigg Lane.

 

AFC Bury, (or is it Bury AFC) are the pheonix Club, are in North West Counties league one I believe, one below Macclesfield. They play at Rawtenstall as they can't use Gigg Lane because it's owned by Steve Dale who owns Bury FC, they are still dormant and likely to remain so.

There's no chance of the pheonix club getting into the football league anytime soon.

Fair comment, I didn't know about this. However as Macclesfield were only allowed into the NW Counties Premier league less than a year after reforming, and with the full clout of a multi millionaire behind them, I doubt Bury will be allowed into the National League, National League North or NPL so the best than hope for is level 9 which is the same as Macc.
