Bury and Macclesfield

Bury FC was expelled from League One in August 2019 after managing to gain promotion to the league the season before.

Despite the success in promotion, Bury FC - nicknamed 'The Shakers' - were in a lot of debt which means the club owed lots of money to people. They struggled to pay the debts which resulted in them being expelled from the English Football League.

Bury fans left without a club to support decided to set up a new club Bury AFC who now play in the North West Counties Football League which is the tenth tier of the English football league system.
