“You may be aware of a video circulating on all forms of social media from X to WhatsApp of what is described as an U11 Sunday game or a U10 Saturday game or even suggested a local HYL U9 game with fighting players and parents.

Whether this has been pursued with malicious intent or simply pure ignorance, it is absolutely clear that this is NOT a Bury Rangers game.

This does offer an opportunity to highlight that at Bury Rangers the culture embraced by the club is one of RESPECT, which is shown to all and we both educate and encourage parents and players to show our class both on and off the pitch.

I am reminded that the standards that we observe at Bury Rangers as 3 star accredited and leading grassroots community club is the bar to which others within football must strive to match.”
