ACCRINGTON Stanley chief executive Rob Heys said the club would "co-operate fully" with any investigation into their 2-0 defeat to Bury after bookmakers reported unusual betting activity on the game.
The FA have announced they will look into the game after it emerged some bookmakers stopped taking bets on the game on Friday after a raft of bets on the Shakers to win.
Both William Hill and Coral suspended betting markets on the game, while Betfair also reported unusually high amounts being placed on the clash.

Heys said: "If there is any evidence of any wrongdoing, the people involved will be severely dealt with."
The FA's director of communications Adrian Bevington said: "This was a very unusual betting pattern - if the allegations are true."
Bury are understood to be seeking legal advice on the issue before commenting.

If this game was fixed and nobody has said as much then how come Accy had so many shots on goal and Provett had to be in world class form to stop their efforts from going in?
Why pick this game there was nothing riding on it apart from professional pride and local honours, like the idea of dropping prices to £9 per ticket you'll go far Accy even if only 150 people have so far signed up, come on Bury let's adopt a similar scheme and get more bums on seats as well as cheering on the mighty shakers next season.

Stanley are a club that are run poorly and on the cheap.
12 players were released and whose not to say a few of those decided to cash in on the fact they would be unemployed by Monday.
Also if you were fixing a game its easier at Accrington with players omn a few £100 a week than lets say Chelsea.
Less witnesses as well![bold]bold[/bold]
