BURY Football Club's fundraiser supreme Neville Neville has urged urges all Shakers fans to get behind 'Forever Bury' the newly formed supporters' trust.

A meeting to launch the organisation has been arranged at the Castle Leisure Centre on Sunday, May 26 at 7pm and a 1,000 packed house is expected.

And the man whose superb moneyraising abilities have helped drag the 117-year-old Shakers from the brink of extinction, believes it's high time the people who go through the Gigg Lane gates had a say in the running of the club.

"I plead with everyone to get down to the meeting next Sunday," said Neville.

"The supporters have proved over the past three months that they have played a major part in rescuing the club.

"Whatever kind of appeal we have had since I have been involved, the Ground Appeal in 1985, the Incentive Scheme in 1992 and the Stand Appeal in 1996, fans have always come up trumps and proved how vital they are to Bury FC.

"Now it's time they had an organisation that will have a say in the running of the club and this is it."

Officials are hoping that hundreds of Bury supporters will attend the meeting when it expected a major announcement on the club's future will be announced.

Set up since the Shakers went into administration, 'Forever Bury' already has a constitution and steering committee which will be superceded by an electoral board in due course.

Every member will have equal status and one vote on all issues. The primary aims of the society are:

To own a significant number of shares in Bury Football Club.

To elect at least one member who will become a director of Bury FC.

To be actively involved in all aspects of running the club and have influence on the future management of the business.

To continue fundraising and invest the proceeds in club projects constant with members wishes.

"It's been a marvellous achievement to raise as much money as we have," added Neville. "But it gives you no joy to have to go into administration.

"When we eventually come out of administration we must make sure we never get into that situation again.

"From now on the club must cut its cloth accordingly and be prudent on what it spends.

"Fans have been raising money for the club for the 12 months prior to going into administration and we will need them to continue more than ever until we get the club back on its feet again."

On Sunday at Manchester United's Manchester Suite a huge fundraising dinner is to be held and that is expected to raise another £50,000 or £60,000.

Added to the £260,000 already raised by the Save Our Shakers Appeal the total will go a big way towards securing former majority shareholder Hugh Eaves' shareholding.

"It's a case of dotting the i's and crossing the t's but hopefully we will get the shares out from the High Court in London," added Neville.

"That has to be our main aim. Then we must try and find some new investment that will allow us to move forward and get the club on a better footing than it has been for a long time."
