“When we get promotion, this is what we’ll sing…We are Bury, we are Bury, we are…” The words rang out at Gigg Lane on Saturday, and no-one could blame us for singing them. We were playing like champions. We were winning our 13th match on the bounce. We were keeping our seventh successive clean sheet. There were performances right through our team which could only be described as top class – especially Tyler James’s hat-trick against his former club. As a result, on and off the pitch, it felt like we could finally start to think this is it. But it isn’t. We still have two games to play, and our focus is on Cheadle. We’ll line up to face Cheadle Town at Broadhurst Park, the home of FC United of Manchester and the scene of ‘that” loss to last weeks visitors last season. Cheadle are a strong side, who set up to frustrate their opponents, and one that Dave and the lads will not be taking lightly. Get down to Moston for this final away game of the season – louder and prouder than ever. It’s a long time since being part of it has been so exhilarating. Come on you Shakers!!! In Opposition – Cheadle Town Like us, the Cheshire club are in their second season in the Premier Division. They’re in 14th place, and have won only two and lost four of their last six games. Both victories have been away from home, and the match against us might feel like an away game as Shakers fans pile into FC United’s ground in numbers. We beat them 3-0 at Gigg Lane back in August, and did the double last term – 2-1 at home and 2-0 away. Town started life as Grasmere Rovers in 1961 and changed their name when they joined the NWCFL in 1983. They ended last season in 13th position.

Bury won 4-0 over Padiham taking the points total to 103 as the Shakers looked to close in on a title victory Bryan Ly and Hatrick hero Tyler James spoke to the club to give us their thoughts. Tyler James started the interview by speaking about his hatrick with him saying “It was a special moment. I saw the chances and took them. I got the win, so it’s all good from there.” Further adding “I loved the moment. I’ve seen the fans cheer and smile. It was a special moment for me” Bryan then gave his thoughts on the game, with him saying “We knew coming into the game that we had to win. Obviously, everyone was refreshing Twitter last night about the lower breck game, but when we come into the changing room, that’s all forgotten, and we know the quality that we have in the changing room. We knew that if we started off really quicker, then we’d blow them away and that’s what we’ve done. We’ve blown away by four goals. Every time they had the ball; we were on top of them. I just think we showed our class today.” Bryan then spoke about the tactical change to two 10s for this game, he said “We’ve adapted really well in training. Obviously, me and Tyler, we’ve played with each other previously a few years ago and we know each other’s game. When the gaffer told me I was back starting today and I knew I was in the 10 with Tyler, I knew it was just going to work. Obviously, you’ve seen it there. It was just fluid football. We were just bopping it side to side, and we took our chances. Well, he took his chances and bringing a match ball home. So, yes, that was good.” Tyler then gave his thoughts on the system, he said “Yes, it’s good because different positions bring different opportunities. I like playing with Bryan because we both know what we do and we both bounce off each other, even in training, just passing around. So, when we came on here, we knew what we were going to do and pass him off the park.” Bryan and Tyler then both looked ahead to next weeks clash against Cheadle with them saying. Bryan Ly: “Yes, no game’s going to be a pushover. We’ve got two games left. Obviously, if you told us at the start of the season that we had two games left to win a title, you’d say that. So, we’re just going to take it game by game like we have been doing all season and turn up Saturday, not expecting to just brush them over. We know we’ll be in for a game and hopefully, obviously, do what we’ve done today and blow them off the park.” Tyler James: “Get behind us, support us as much as you can because support means a lot. We’ve got to get them six points to win the league on the 19th.” View the full article

Bury won 4-0 over Padiham with a dominant display as they looked to close out the season, Manager Dave McNabb spoke to the club to give us his thoughts on the game. Dave McNabb: “I think so. Probably somewhat up in one way, which is outstanding. Everything, the warm-up was the best we’ve had all season. The intensity at the start of the game, first half, brilliant. 2-0, blew them away. Could have been more, should have been more. Second half, even better and then you add in the noise coming from the sidelines. It was actually enjoyable listening to them. It’s a shame that the game was going on at times because it was just so intimidating. It’s so intimidating. Look, them being our 12th man at times, got us over the line in tough games. Today was one that he could probably enjoy a little bit more in terms of the performance and the results. We haven’t done anything yet. We haven’t achieved what we set out to. We’ve got two big games, and we need to go and try and win both of them. Dave then spoke through the two changes to the starting 11 with Bryan Ly and Connor Pye coming into the 11, he said “Obviously, we know Rusty’s [Stepans] picked up a bit of a hamstring injury last week, so he wasn’t available for selection today. So, Conor’s been chomping at the bit really to get in. He’s been a little bit unlucky that Rusty’s been playing so well. So that was a no-brainer and then the second one, we just felt that having a different type of movement and different options from the top line in terms of the way that they set up. So, we’ve done our homework on Paddy for today. Look, it worked. Bryans again, he’s had a tough spell in terms of form, had a bit of a drop in form. But form’s temporary and class is permanent, as they say. So, he’s worked hard the last few weeks. When he’s come off the bench, he’s made big impacts. And look, he deserves his chance, and he’s took it today.” Dave then spoke about his tactical changes throughout the season with him saying “Yes, so I think it’s about having the fundamentals in place and the philosophy, like you said. We wanted to try and make sure we played a little bit more than what we had done for the spell. I think we’ve been solid. We’ve almost made sure that the back line was defensively solid and then tried to work our way forward. So I think you’re starting to see some of that now. In terms of two number 10s, two number 9s, they’ve got the freedom to play rotations. So there was no set formation when we set it up today. It was around having the back line set, the midfield set, and the rest. Go on and express yourself and enjoy yourselves. Attacking flexibility is something that we’ve seen all season in terms of players in different positions.” Dave then spoke about the importance of having the full squad as they head into the final games “It’s massive. You can’t win things. You can’t compete at the top of a league with 11 good players. You do need that squad of 17 and 18. That’s what we’ve been fortunate enough to have here. The lads have bought into it, and I think that’s why you’re seeing spells where whether you’re talking about Tyler [James], whether you’re talking about Reece [Kendall] at times, Josh Gregory, Bryan Ly, they’ve all spent time on the bench. They’ve all spent periods on the bench where the forms dropped and whatever, but they stayed bought into it. They stayed working hard. They’ve been listening. Then sooner or later, you get your chance, and then it’s down to you to take it and look at the squad and the togetherness in the group just through the roof at the minute. We asked them today to be brave. We asked them to go and be brave and enjoy themselves, and I think that’s got to be the message for next week.” Dave then spoke about the return of Will Callaghan to the side with him saying “We’ve been watching Will from afar. He’s been playing really, really well, obviously with Rusty being injured and unavailable. We need to make sure we’ve got options on that side of the pitch. Connor hasn’t played as much as he’d like, as we said before, so we’re just worried about whether he’ll be able to get through the 90, but Connor was outstanding, and Will was really good when he came on as well.” Dave then finally looked ahead to next weeks clash with Cheadle away at FC United “I think we’ve got to go and win the game next week and put ourselves in a really good position. The full focus this week is going to be on a really tough game. It’s an away game, neutral, whatever you want to call it. Cheadle have got the way that he sets them up tactically. They’ve got a way of playing that’s quite awkward and quite difficult to adapt to, so they’ve definitely got dangerous players. We just need to make sure that we’re up forward and make sure we’re planned and prepped and ready to go, and if we play like we do today, no-one’s going to stop us.” View the full article

PERFECT PITCH is a new collaboration between Walk the Plank and English National Opera – a space where football and opera collide. An 8-week programme of community connection and workshops, some with Bury FC fans at Gigg Lane, culminated last week during the match between Bury v Squires Gate, with an operatic and football chant try out from the terraces, and a half time performance. The half time performance featured ENO soprano Carrie-Ann Williams, and baritone Patrick Keefe, accompanied by the PERFECT PITCH choir and the orchestra of English National Opera. The choir performed a version of the Toreador song, from the opera Carmen, with new words developed by the Bury fans during the workshops. The combined choir of singers and football fans of 115 included Bury FC and Manchester Laces Fans, Bridgewater Hall Singers, Bury Fire Choir, Pop Vox Choir and Wigan Choral Society. Lauren Monaghan-Pisano from English National Opera said, “It has been a joy to get stuck into our first programme delivered in Greater Manchester with brilliant partners Walk the Plank, working closely with football clubs and singing groups to build our PERFECT PITCH choir. We are delighted with how much people enjoyed this first sharing of the project, and we can’t wait to connect with more people through opera as we grow the project over the coming months.” Lead Image Credit: Debs Parr View the full article

Shakers.. there are only 3 games to go! The final month of the season starts now As this Saturday we play host to Padiham. We need you down in numbers, loud and proud! Our run of 12 successive victories, along with clean sheets in every one of our last six matches has been superb. But on their own they win us nothing. The only way we can be sure of that league title is to win every match. If you’ve been to Gigg Lane on a match day, you know what a fantastic atmosphere there is. If you haven’t, just come and sample it. Unlike last weekend, there won’t be any opera singers or choirs, but the atmosphere In the ground keeps getting better and better. With all that support, it must be very difficult to play against the Shakers at Gigg Lane. But Padiham are having a good season and will be difficult to beat. They’re currently 4th in the table and aiming for the best finish they can muster. So be there and get behind the lads. Be louder than ever and prouder than ever. In Opposition – Padiham Padiham won the NWCFL Premier Division title in 2013 and had three seasons in the Northern Premier League. They’ve improved enormously since we beat them 5-1 at the Ruby Civil Arena back in July and have lost only seven out of 43 matches. They also have a long and proud history, dating back to 1878, and were among the top clubs in Lancashire for 10 years. But that era ended when the paying of players was legalised and the Football League formed.

Bury won 3-0 over relegation battlers Squires Gate as the Shakers reached centurion status in their title fight, Rustam Stepans and Aiden Walker both spoke to the club to give us their thoughts on the game. Rustam Stepans: “Yeah, I think it was a comfortable game to be fair, I think we moved the ball really well. We worked in on Thursday for moving the play, getting out wide, if there’s nothing on, coming back and back out wide again. So, yeah, really happy with the performance.” Aiden Walker added onto this by giving us his thoughts on the game he said “Yeah, no, it’s massive. I think that’s six clean sheets now on the balance, so it’s always good to keep solid. I don’t think we looked like conceding much today. You know, they had two big lads up top who, they held it up well to be fair, but I think we dealt with it, we didn’t really look for it and we were just more being good on the ball, moving the ball side to side while building play up from the back. I don’t think Mitch [Allen] had a say to me, did he? No, I don’t think he did, no.” Rusty then spoke about whether he thought the game would play out exactly as it did “I think some of the lads were a bit nervous and obviously Squires gate, I know what they had to do. I think they came up with the game plan, but I don’t think it worked out for them. I think we were just superior towards them, you know, so yeah, it was good.” They then spoke about the need to focus as they enter the last three games, they said “Yeah, no, that’s it. We know win three games, win the league. We’ve seen a lot of people be focused on games later on, but we know we’re capable of winning three games, win the league, so that’s it really.” Rustam the ended the interview by giving a message to the fans he said, “No, just I know how happy yous are when I’m doing my little celebration or whatever. I know it’s a bit cringy, but yeah, no, thank you very much. Keep it going.” View the full article

Bury came out triumphant after a 3-0 victory over Squires Gate, Manager Dave McNabb gave us his thoughts on the game. Dave McNabb: “Yeah, I think so. I thought we kept the ball really well, looked a little bit more like us today in terms of some of the patterns of play and a little bit better in possession. A bit disappointing we maybe didn’t take one or two of the chances, particularly first half, but second half I thought we just turned the screw a little bit more and we just kept them penned in. It was, like you said, a really professional performance, quite comfortable. Could have been a little bit more, but we’ll take the 3-0 and we’ll move on for next week.” Dave then spoke about how important it is to keep the defence tight knit in this part of the season, he said “t’s been massive. I think obviously if you look back through the season, the issue or some of the challenges we’ve had have never been around scoring goals. I think we’ve scored 121 league goals and 145, 150 whatever goals in total, so it’s not putting the ball in the back of the net that’s been the problem, largely. Although the last few weeks we haven’t looked as good in front of goal, but the six clean sheets is massive. You’ve got to build on defensive performances, and I think they don’t just come from the back line, the goalkeeper, they come from all over the pitch. I think our pressing today was much better, still not perfect, still not quite right, but we start from the front.” He then spoke about where he sees improvement would be needed, with him saying “I think we’ve got to improve all over. Obviously, the standards that me and the staff drive and the standards that the players drive themselves on, I don’t think we got out of third gear today. I thought we showed some really good spells and some spells where we were a little bit sloppy and turned the ball over too many times, but next week it’s going to be an unbelievably tough game. Padiham are absolutely flying at the minute, I think they’re fourth, depending on the results today. Yeah, really good side, we played really well against them early in the season and beat them at their place, but I think they’re a much better side now than what they were, so it’s going to be a tough game and we’ve got to make sure we prepare right for it and go into it and hopefully try and get the three points.” Dave then provided an update on Rustam Stepans after the Latvian was subbed off with an injury after assisting Bryan Ly with the 3rd, he said “Yeah, it was just a slight strain. I think he should probably be alright for next week, so we just need to try and get some tests done tomorrow. Obviously, it’s difficult now just after the game, but yeah, he’s obviously gutted a little bit, but we’ll do everything we can to get him back.” Dave then spoke about whether he’s keeping an eye on Lower Brecks results as they play later tonight with him saying “Yeah, I mean obviously we’ll watch the games, it’s one of those things I think obviously when you get to the stage and see, we’ll look around at all the results, but it’s just more around seeing what’s going on. I think we know what we need to do and that’s the most important thing, that’s been the message and it’s been consistent to the players as soon as we’ve got our noses in front. We said probably back end October time that we need to be in with the pack, we need to be within three points, up or down, going into the new year and then when we start playing one game a week you’ll see us play better stuff, more improved both defensively and going forward and I think we’ve done that, we’ve got our noses in front and then it just becomes about us then. So we just need to take it one game at a time, I know it’s a cliche, but the only important game we’ve got now is next week against Padiham.” View the full article

We’re back home after a three-week break, after wrapping up two amazing away wins in St Helens. Now, we’re all set to keep our winning streak going and make it 12 on the bounce. We want to give a big shoutout to the fans who made the trip down the M62 two weekends in a row to cheer on the Shakers. You guys were incredible, creating that atmosphere that really pumps up the lads on the pitch! A win would really crank up the pressure on our promotion rivals, Lower Breck, as they face FC Isle of Man in Douglas in the late Saturday evening kick off, we’ll be streaming the game live in Starkies from 6pm. So, get down to Gigg, be loud, be proud and roar us on to another victory and let’s make up for that frustrating 4-4 draw in our first league game of the year. You’ll be treated to some fantastic entertainment at halftime, with choirs and two solo singers brought together by our friends at English National Opera. Let’s show them how we support our team: UP THE SHAKERS!!! In Opposition – Squires Gate This will be a tough encounter as we face a team fighting for their premier division lives. An away victory over FC Isle of Man on March 8th gave their fans a glimmer of hope, but the facts stare them in the face. Over the season so far, Gate have collected only 28 points from 42 matches, leaving them at the bottom of the table. That win in Douglas was the only one in their last six games, along with two draws and three defeats. But Gate are led by a shrewd manager in Luke Evans, who’s been at the Brian Addison Stadium since 2019. They’ll be well organised and hard to break down.

We are delighted to announce that we will be bringing the prestigious ‘Manchester Remembers’ charity football match and fundraising day to Gigg Lane this year for the very first time. Established by Aaron Lee & Paul Corrigan, in 2020, the successful event has raised over £100,000 for a number of charities linked to the Manchester Arena attack in 2017. Previously hosted by Manchester City FC and Oldham Athletic, we are extremely pleased to be holding this year’s event at Gigg Lane, the home of Bury Football Club and we are working in collaboration with Aaron, Paul and Bury Council to make it happen. Manchester Remembers will be held on June 14th 2025, with Sam Allardyce and Peter Reid will again be managing this years ‘Legends’ and ‘Celebrity’ teams respectively and already they have some big names who will be in attendance on the day, with more details and ticketing information coming very soon. Bury FC Head of Operations, Casey Lynchey said: “We have been in conversation with Aaron & Paul for some time and have recently managed to pull everything together to enable us to host the event at Gigg Lane this summer. “Their story is compelling and the relentless work they have done to raise so much for the various charities is remarkable. We couldn’t be prouder at Bury FC to be bringing the event to the town and along with the support of our staff and volunteer team and Bury Council, we’ll work hard behind the scenes to make sure it is a success and can raise as much as possible for such an important cause.” View the full article

Bury won 2-0 away at Pilkington as the Shakers look to continue their push for the title, Cam Fogerty and Lewis Byrne spoke to the club to give us their thoughts on today’s game. Cam Fogerty: “I thought we were really poor. First half, second half we gave it more of a go. I think first half it felt like they had more energy. They were a yard quicker than us and they had the majority of the momentum, I’d say up until about the 30th minute. We had a few good chances but second half I thought we were much better, got in their faces, pressed well. That’s where the goals came from, playing with intensity and tempo. I’m just relieved to get the three points because it was a tough day. They made it hard for us.” He then spoke about the frustration of missing so many chances in the 1st half with him saying “Yes and no because we made a lot of chances, but I don’t feel like we deserved scoring them. I felt like Pilkerton gave us a great game first half and they came out with a lot of energy. For large periods of it, they were the better team so for us to go in 1-0 or 2-0 up would have been a bit of a disservice to Pilkerton. But second half, I think we thoroughly deserved it.” Lewis then spoke about his goal today “Yes, definitely good to get on the score sheet but I feel like I could have done a little bit more today with the way it went. It wasn’t much of a game of football; I didn’t feel like the pitch didn’t really allow it. It was just a bit of a fight. But yes, obviously I’m glad to get the goal for the club.” He then spoke about how it was important to get onto the score sheet as quick as possible in the second half, with him saying “Yes, of course, I think the main thing was just to be battling the first and second balls and obviously be more in the faces. I feel like we let them have the ball a little bit too much in the first half. As soon as we did start getting in the faces and obviously didn’t let them have a second, that was when the chances all started coming.” Cam then spoke about whether there was any nerves when they were 1-0 up with him saying “You know what, at 1-0 I felt really comfortable. It was at 0-0 where I felt these could nick one here and if we go in at the break, 1-0 down, then it would be an uphill battle obviously. But at 1-0 I felt really comfortable and obviously they got the sending off which made it easier for them. Although I did think they played better with ten men, surprisingly. When Rusty scored, we knew that’s lights out then, game over, which obviously is a relief. Now it’s all eyes on next Saturday for another win.” Cam then looked ahead to next week game vs Squires Gate at Gigg Lane “Well, if we would have played, we would have won. They’re still fighting to stay up, so it’ll be a tough game, but we’re at a gig. We know how well we can play at a gig. We’re unbeaten this season. I don’t envisage us losing there or dropping points there for the rest of the season. I think we’ll put them out.” View the full article

Bury won 2-0 over Pilkington as they continue their push towards the NWCFL title, Manager Dave McNabb spoke to the club to give us his thoughts on the game. Dave McNabb: “I thought the first half was horrendous, if I’m being honest. No patterns of play, we looked nervous, we looked like we didn’t want to get on the ball and be brave with it. That being said, we missed three edge chances, we hit the bar with a bit of a lucky overhead kick from Bobby [Carroll]. We could have been 3-0 up, but we wouldn’t have deserved it. I think we’ve got to be better in terms of the way we impose ourselves, we’ve got to start the game a little bit quicker. Second half, they took everything on board, it wasn’t brilliant and scintillating football by any stretch, but the intensity went up a couple of levels. The press, the ugly stuff of the game, running, competing, winning first and second balls was much better. Sometimes that’s all it takes, sometimes you can’t play brilliantly well, especially at this point in the season. So, yes, really pleased to get the three points and we go again next week.” Next Dave spoke about changes to todays starting 11 with Nicky Adams replacing Josh Gregory as well as Louis Jeanne absence with him saying “Josh hasn’t been too well, just a few little, tiny issues, nothing major. I think if we really needed to push him, if we didn’t have different options, then he could have started today, which is why he was on the bench. I just felt he’s played an awful lot of football, he’s come in on the back of a couple of long-term injuries and he’s played an awful lot of football, so we didn’t want to risk him getting injured and being missing for two or three weeks. He’s been a massive part of what we’ve achieved over the last few weeks, so that was that. In terms of the bench, obviously with having Josh on the bench, being able to play both centre-half and midfield, I just felt, depending on how the game panned out, we might need Connor. That was just being a little bit more attacking in terms of options on the bench.” Dave then spoke about the aims for the rest of the season as we entered the final 5 games of the season, he said “I don’t think any of them were easy, I don’t think there were any games that were easy. We know that Bury is a scalp to any team, so teams step up when it’s difficult. No-one’s going to lie and say that they don’t check on the results, of course you do, but at the end of the day, it’s in our hands, so we put ourselves in the best place possible. We’ve been on an unbelievable run, one game at a time, just keep picking up three points. That’s all we can do, and the sole focus now is Squires Gate at home next week.” He then spoke about today’s goal scorers Rustam Stepans and Lewis Byrne with him saying “Yes, I think they probably both needed a goal. I think they probably judged themselves a little bit more on scoring goals, and they’ve probably been a little bit disappointed over the last few weeks that they haven’t got more each. But from my point of view, obviously records or goals is always something that you look at, but I think it’s more about the contribution that people make when they’re on the pitch, and both of them have been fantastic since they’ve been here. Rusty’s played 51 games, the stats are unbelievable, and I’m sure he’ll say he should have scored a few more. If he’d been really critical, he should have done. But what a contribution he’s made this season; he’s been absolutely outstanding. So, yes, good for them to both get on the score sheet. Could’ve done with a DJ [Pedro] one, he’s missed a chance there. But look, we get the three points, 2-0 win, it’s as you were, so we go again next week.” Dave then looked ahead to the match against Squires gate next week at Gigg Lane “Obviously, they’re fighting for their lives, so every point matters for them. It’s not going to be one of those end-of-season games that you see sometimes where a team’s got nothing to play for and they’ve already got the flip-flops on and the half on the beach. It’s not going to be that, they’re fighting for their lives. Luke’s an exceptional coach, he’s a really, really good coach. He’ll have them very organised, and I’m sure it’ll be tough for us to break them down. We’ve been really good at Gigg, we’ve played some great football there. This week, we’ve got to prep and be ready for it, and play against another tough team, and we go again.” View the full article

After 10 successive wins, it’s getting harder by the week for us to keep our feet on the ground. But we take nothing for granted as we head for Pilkington backed by what we hope will be 1,000 noisy Shakers fans. Lower Breck kept up the pressure at the top by winning 3-1 at lowly Colne on Tuesday night. They’ve now played the same number of games and are just three points behind. Our margin of victory at Pilkington’s neighbours FC St Helens last weekend was as slim as it can be. But that was down to a string of outstanding saves by goalkeeper Joe Mason. We dominated the game especially in the first 45. Hopefully, Pilkington’s 3G surface will enable us to play the kind of attractive football we’ve so often produced of late. We beat Pilkington 2-0 at home in November. DJ Pedro – then on loan – marked his home debut with a goal, and Rustam Stepans scored the other. Since then, both have clocked up a remarkable tally of goals and assists. We’re back at Gigg Lane for more great football on the 29th. Meanwhile, St Helens here we come for the second successive Saturday. Loud and proud as usual! Up The Shakers! In Opposition – Pilkington A 3-3 draw at FC Isle of Man last weekend gave a lift to Pilkington, who’ve won only one and lost three of their last six matches. They’re 21st in the table – one place higher than when we last played them. Last season we beat them twice in what was for both clubs our first in the premier division. As their name suggests, Pilkington started life as a team representing the famous St Helens glassworks. They’re now a thriving community club with three men’s senior teams, three women’s, 30 junior and youth teams and a walking football section. Admission & TicketsThis fixture is ALL-TICKET.
