Well, not just AFC Bury but all the other Step 6 aspirants as well, as far as I understand it. I know at Step 7 that some leagues have awarded promotion places within their own leagues (ie West Cheshire) but not sure if Step 6 leagues have that freedom.

What's going on here? I thought Dale was only using Bury to get the ground, so why's he attempting to get the club into the national league?
BURY owner Steve Dale says he has applied for a place in the National League next season and would be prepared to step aside as chairman to make it…

The divide and conquer continues. Some fans think that the man who admitted "I'm not a football person" has got himself into gear and put in an application. Others think he's not capable of telling the truth and are pushing on with the phoenix club. I'm still fed up with it all.

He's got some chutzpah, I'll give him that. He's arguing today that Bury were treated unfavourably by the EFL in comparison to Bolton. Both clubs were on notice prior to a takeover being completed. That Bury's takeover still hasn't happened would suggest that the EFL called it right and had little choice in the end.
I do wonder if this is another smokescreen by Dale to put a spanner in the works of the Phoenix club, who are surely the best bet to get football back in Bury and eventually back at Gigg?

The Phoenix, so far, appears to be being run on the lines of totally fan owned. It's not been without its infighting but they appear to be on the right track now. Fingers crossed.

Bury AFC welcomed into the North West Counties League Division One North. It's a long way back to the Football League but lets give it a go.

I'm looking forward to the reports of the Golcar United bog-masquerading-as-pitch, Atherton LR's resident gobshite and the trip to the depths of Cumbria for Cleator Moor Celtic which it is fair to say is not really chocolate box Peter Rabbit Lake District. Let's hope the season all happens for you.

It's similar to Guernsey and Jersey who use Gatwick and are therefore placed in Isthmian South and Combined Counties League respectively.

I believe they and their opponents will be flying to and from Liverpool airport so that counts as their base when they are placed in their division.

There are multiple Step 7 leagues that theoretically feed the NWCFL, if any of the clubs there wish to apply for promotion with all the ground grading requirements that they need to put in place to be accepted. Some seasons there are no suitable applicants but this year there looked to be quite a few because of the League restructuring that meant several places were likely to become available. South Liverpool had virtually sewn their league up and had spent money to develop their ground, so they were particularly unhappy when the leagues were declared null and void with no promotion or relegation - and I'd imagine they're a bit pissed off today, too.
