Just spotted this in the listings, for those who can't view it tonight I've no doubt it'll be on the iplayer.

Yes the Bury fans have put in the hard yards to recreate their club FC Bury.
New ground as Gigg Lane rots under the previous owner who bought the club for a £ and then destroyed it by paying crazy wages.
A travesty for the town, fans and wider game.

I think this is the one they showed a few weeks ago - about the setting up of the new club and reaching the time when they played their first games.

It's Bury AFC and they are playing their home games at Radcliffe Borough.

There was some pretty acrimonious feelings from those wishing Bury FC to carry on, as in at Gigg Lane, pay off the owner, towards those starting the AFC Bury club. It got quite unpleasant, from what I can make out. Documentary quite interesting.

A very good and inspiring watch. They deserve all the luck
and success that they are striving for.

With all the money swilling around in football, this should
never happen.
