Bury have started well with a 2-1 win over Franchise FC where Andy Bishop’s spot kick set MK’s new stadium off to the perfect start for every football fan in England. On Tuesday night Bury continued with a good performance but ended up narrowly going down 1-0 to League 1 Carlisle who had just that week announced the shock sacking of their manager Neil McDonald. Both performances have breathed an air of optimism around Gigg Lane after last season's worrying tale. Finishing only two places off relegation Boston’s points deduction reveals just how close Bury came to leaving the Football League only ten years after facing us in Division One.
