BURY are down to the bare bones as they aim to realise their promotion dream tonight.

A victory at Luton Town combined with either a Stockport defeat at home to York or a Brentford failure to win at Blackpool will see the Shakers in Division One.

But, with Andy Scott's loan spell ended by Sheffield United, Stan Ternent's squad picks itself.

"We're down to 16 players and two of those are keepers," explained the manager who has guided Bury from 22nd in Division Three to the brink of Division One in 18 glorious months.

"I wasn't aware what needs to happen tonight to send us up and, to be honest, I'm not interested. If we lose it could change everything but the main thing is that it is in our own hands.

"We will go there looking to get another point or three to add to our total and see what happens."

Bury are expected to be unchanged from the side which beat Peterborough on Saturday with Tony Rigby and Nick Reid challenging to replace Scott on the bench.
