GLYNN Hurst says the club must rid themselves of a small-club complex if they are to do more than simply survive next season.

The Shakers striker has been with the club for nearly 18 months and has fought two successive battles against relegation.

Though signs are good that the current campaign will not go down to the wire, as it has in the previous two seasons, the 32-year-old believes big changes are needed if long overdue success is to some to Gigg Lane.

"You do get fed up of constant survival battles," Hurst said.

"If you stay in your comfort zone, that's all you will ever be. We'll just survive every year and nothing more.

"We can't just say oh we're Bury Football Club', we have to demand better than we have given in recent years."

But Hurst believes that Alan Knill's arrival has helped shake off a few of the cobwebs that had been lingering around the squad in recent months.

"He has got new ideas, a new way of doing things and that has made us all think," the striker said.

"I do think that if we can carry on the impetus the gaffer has given us since he came in, with new signings and a new assistant manager, that can move the club forward."
