EFL to reinstate Bury Football Club

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

EFL have let a great club of 134 years go under without doing a full due diligence test on the chairman. Steve Dale bought the club for £1 for his own benefit. Bury should be reinstated back into the football league and the EFL should support Bury in getting a new owner.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
