1998–99 Bury F.C. season


During the 1998–99 English football season, Bury F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.

Season summary

After Stan Ternent moved to Burnley in the summer of 1998, Bury appointed Neil Warnock as manager, but with sales of players such as Paul Butler to Sunderland and a cash crisis at the club, Bury suffered relegation from Division One in May 1999, but only on goals scored. This was the only season where goals scored took precedence over goal difference. If it were not for this rule, Bury would have survived at the expense of Port Vale.
