Detail of Postponement

A pitch inspection of Gigg Lane took place at 11.30 this morning. The referee declared the pitch fit to play and the match was due to go ahead as scheduled.

However a director of Bury FC unilaterally took the decision that he would call the game off.

FC United believe this to be in breach of the terms of our groundshare agreement and will be seeking further advice.

We discussed the possibility of playing at Woodley but it was not possible to organise everything required to stage a match at such short notice.

We thank supporters for your continued patience and would ask you allow the board and staff to pursue this on your behalf.
