Everybody in and around Bury - I went to sixth form there - calls it "Bury", or occasionally "BSE" (that became unfortunate later). Almost nobody uses the full name.

Besides which, you try getting a a football chant to scan with that many syllables.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

"And it Bury St Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds FC, we the finest football team etc etc "

That fits but is obviously wildly inaccurate as that is Ipswich Town what is the finest football team the world will ever see


"You're going home in a Bury St Edmunds ambulance" doesn't git quite so well and obviously with the Tories in power there arent any spare ambulances available to provide that service

sorry I may be over thinking this

The folk of the North call their Bury, Bury as in rhymes with Curry.

The folk of the South call their Bury, Bury as in rhymes with Cherry.

And I thinks it's Edmunds rather than Edmonds even though both, ironically, sound the same.

"Bury St Edmunds, in Suffolk, Bury St Edmunds ......"

There's definitely a Bury in Lancashire. Perhaps they are Bury Town ?

I used to go to Bury quite a bit in the mid 90s. There was a little group of fans, led by a bald guy with glasses, who used to sing and were great fun. They had a few standards, 'Bury Town (repeat) is wonderful (repeat), its full of sugar beet and Greene King...' and a tribute to the striker Kevin Lane to the tune of Penny Lane.

Is this a discussion about behaviour or age?

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

They were just Bury, but sadly folded a couple of years ago. Believe that they are reforming as AFC Bury next season. Not sure what level in the pyramid they'll be in though.

I used to think that people were referring to that bury. It was very confusing. The St Edmunds needs to be reinstated.

Given their respective leagues next season you could get a Bury v Bury cup tie!
