If Bury survive, they now have only 6 outfield players and one goalie.

The players wages are the issue and clubs forced to pay more than they can afford in order to compete with those that seem to get away with it.
It wasn't that long ago that the 2 lower leagues were looking at part time as an option.
Now they are paying individuals thousands per week each.
5 games in hand though!

Three bids for Bury apparently.

That doesn't surprise me. Sounds a bit like the retail world where big names have fallen – and continue to fall – by the wayside.
A few more go and League 2 disappears. A few years after that maybe there's a possibility of a Premier League 1, 2 and 3? Or re-brand League 1 as something else, so Premier League, Championship and
??

What a stupid thing to say.
Wasn’t too long ago we were 4th tier. You would have cried like a bitch if we were expected to drop out.

What a mess.
If both Bury and Bolton survive, will Bury have an advantage over Bolton seeing as how they haven't had to play any games with a team full of youth players? Will teams that have already run up the goal difference against Bolton Youth have an advantage over those who play a reinforced Bolton team later in the season?

The problem is that there's been months for "interested" parties to show they can do more than just be interested. The truth is that nothing has happened for either club. Every extension is just postponing things, not solving anything - and it's obvious that without playing matches the clubs can't go on.
I think the odds are firmly that one or both clubs goes out business. That's not officially happened since Maidstone in 92 (though I would also count what happened to Wimbledon as the same thing - in a different way - but the result was no different).

Not seen such Bravery!
Happened to be in Maidstone on a recent Saturday - a fair number of Maidstone shirts around town before their game.
There is a future for any AFC Bury, or AFC Bolton if it comes to it.

It's unfair on the other teams if Bolton start playing team with something of a full team after gifting points to others playing their youth team

Yep - that's kind of my opinion too. The clubs can go on - if the fans want them to. The problem is the ground, because it will take either of them a long time to get a decent ground again if that goes as part of the winding up (which, surely, it would).

Of course as we will deserve it for spunking away our PL money , have to do what others do and start up again

I think you mean Tony's PL money.

The company was liquidated, but sold the ground and facilities to a new company that continued to play on the same ground. I guess it's conceivable that this could happen to Lancashire clubs, but in that case they would certainly lose their League status.
Anyone else think it's time to bring back North and South divisions?
Reduce the travelling costs if nothing else.
Could still have play-off's
