Bury's 125-year membership of the EFL came to an end with their expulsion on 27 August 2019Expelled English Football League club Bury have had a winding-up petition over an unpaid tax bill dismissed. Wednesday's High Court appearance over money owed to HM Revenue & Customs came just seven weeks after the club had a similar petition dismissed. The court was told that the latest petition, lodged before Christmas, showed the club owed more than £50,000. The petition was dismissed after a lawyer for HMRC said that all but around £2,500 had been paid. The previous dismissal of a winding-up petition as well as Wednesday's latest decision only gives the financially-stricken club and its fans a reprieve.
