BURY FC HAVE OPENING DAY MATCH SUSPENDED BUT BOLTON'S GAME GOES AHEAD

BURY'S SECOND MATCH ALSO UNDER THREAT


BBC


Bury's opening League One game, at home to Milton Keynes Dons on Saturday, has been suspended - but Bolton Wanderers' match at Wycombe can go ahead.

The Shakers failed to meet Monday's 17:00 BST deadline set by the English Football League for Bury and Bolton to show evidence of financial viability.

However, the EFL said it had suspended the Bury game "reluctantly".

Bolton's submissions satisfied the EFL that they can meet the requirements of the league, with a takeover expected.

Both teams have already been deducted 12 points from the new League One table and both were given extended deadlines by the EFL to prove that they had made sufficient progress behind the scenes.

Bury's second match of the season, at Accrington on 10 August, is also under threat, while it is understood the Gigg Lane outfit will now be referred to an independent disciplinary panel.
