    Boxing Day Arrangements

    Ahead of the big Boxing Day clash with Ramsbottom United, we are able to confirm access arrangements on the day.

    Advance Online tickets – Home & Away Supporters
    Home Supporters: Advanced tickets are available to purchase now for supporters in either the Main or South Stand providing ‘unreserved’ seating. Supporters should avoid sitting in ‘reserved’ seats which are allocated to Season Ticket holders.

    These tickets are selling well and will be available until sold out. Get yours now – buryfc.co.uk/tickets

    To ensure your place in either of these stands, an online ticket should be secured in advance. Pay on the gate facilities will only be available in the Cemetry End.
    Away Supporters: Ramsbottom supporters have been allocated Blocks H & I within the Main Stand (entry via turnstile 7) as now standard for visiting teams at Gigg Lane. Tickets can be purchased by selecting the ticket allocation for visiting supporters, as shown to the right.

    Cemetery End: To pay on the day, either cash or card payments will be taken on the turnstiles of the Cemetery End.

    Turnstiles across the ground will open from 1.30pm.
    Hospitality – SOLD OUT
    All tickets for either the EyeLevel Sponsors Lounge or 1885 Suite have been allocated and we look forward to welcoming all who will be joining us, alongside our match sponsors Bret Civils and Groundwork on the day.
    Guests are requested to arrive from 12.30pm.

    Our attending guest club legend on the day will be Andy Bishop, who will attend a Q&A session in our Sponsors Lounge and in Starkies.
    Starkies Bar
    Before kick-off: Starkies will be open at the normal time of 12.30pm for supporters to access from the Manchester Road End entrance before kick-off. This will be on a first-come, first-served basis up to capacity, which will be managed on the door.

    Supporters will only be able to gain entry by presenting their online ticket purchased in advance, and no re-entry will be allowed once supporters leave to take their seat ahead of kick-off.

    Starkies Pass ticket holders will be permitted access at any time in line with their purchase.

    Andy Bishop’s Q&A will take place from 1.20pm.

    During the game: After kick-off, the bar can be accessed by anyone situated in the Main Stand (via the door linked to the concourse) or in the South Stand (via the front of the Manchester Road End). The bar is open throughout the game, including at half-time.

    Post-match: Starkies will be open to all, again up to capacity, with last orders at 7.30pm.

    Match Info: Chadderton (A), Fri 20th Dec, 7:45pm KO

    For many weeks, this fixture and our Boxing Day clash against Ramsbottom at Gigg Lane have looked like crunch games. Now…well, it’s difficult to overstate how vital they are after a recent series of flaky performances.

    It’s quite a litany: 23rd November lost 3-4 at Lower Breck; 4th December lost 1-3 at Litherland REMYCA; 10th December drew 1-1 at Irlam; 14th December drew 3-3 at home to Abbey Hey.

    Watching the first-half against Abbey Hey it was hard to believe the team in blue and white were playing to go top of the league. But despite that first-half performance and the final score, there were positives – not least the second-half fightback.

    This is still effectively the team who went 21 games without defeat and beat Radcliffe away in a great FA Cup run. Remember, we only just fell short of reaching the First Round proper. But manager Dave McNabb has rung the changes, with Morgan Homson-Smith returning the squad after an extended stay in the UAE, new arrivals at the back with Eoin Charles and Courtney Meppen-Walter joining, alongside Gaz Peet’s confirmation he will stay on this season.

    Every match is a new start. And never moreso this Friday, as we look to go top with a win.

    So once again the cry goes up: Come on you Shakers!!! Come on!!!
    In Opposition – Chadderton
    Chaddy are having a remarkable season, having so far played not a single home game while their new all-weather pitch is being installed.

    They are currently residing mostly at the Vestacare Stadium, the home of Avro FC, where our clash takes place this week.

    Going into the game top of the league with 59 points from 28 games – closely followed by ourselves with 57 from 27 and Ramsbottom 57 from 26. We take on Rammy in our next game, on Boxing Day!

    We were knocked out of the Isuzu FA Vase 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Gigg Lane, and our under-23s team were defeated by the same opposition in the Macron Cup. We do have the bragging rights in the league however, with a 3-1 win back in October.
    Chadderton have won all their last six games, scoring 20 goals and conceding just 7.
