Four ex-Stanley and one ex-Bury player having to answer charges.

It's just been on Radio Lancs; it sounds as though 2 of the players are still there and are being allowed to continue to play until the FA reach a conclusion.

The best bit for me - all of the accused are alleged to have staked several thousand quid....................

..............except one who faces serious trouble for going a fiver each way. Priceless!

more disturbing is that £250,000 was bet with one firm,who were the others

I posted the tip on here on the Friday night before the game, Betfair paid out

[Hughesy]

And how did you know about it???

[waggy]

all of rishton and liverpool knew about it

Story started to leak on the Friday night when there was large sums being bet in Liverpool, some bookies stopped taking bets then.

As soon as the rumours started, Betfair backed it up. 20 times the amount normally bet on a league 2 match, 98% of the money on Bury. I still don't understand who was laying it though

Similar to the Alfreton Town game I also mentioned a while back, same pattern, not sure if that is under investigation though.
