As a local lad who understood what it means to represent the club, Lewis embraced his time with the Shakers and played an important role during his spell here. Everyone at the club would like to thank Lewis for his efforts and contribution, and we wish him all the very best for the future at Stalybridge Celtic. View the full article

Bury Football Club’s inaugural Corporate Cup at Gigg Lane delivered exactly what it set out to do: competitive football and a valuable networking environment for businesses across the region. Hosted at the historic Gigg Lane ground, the event brought together workplace teams in a lively, well-contested tournament.

At Bury FC, inclusion is not a standalone initiative it’s part of the fabric of the club and how we want Gigg Lane to feel for everyone who comes through the gates. However, during Autism Awareness Month, we were reminded of how powerful that can be in practice. Matchdays are not just about football; they are about belonging. Speaking with parents of autistic children who attend games highlighted the importance of simple things done well — a welcoming atmosphere, understanding from staff and volunteers and a sense that families can enjoy the day without barriers or anxiety. That same commitment runs through our ‘Comets ’pan-disability football sessions for 4–11 year olds, where young players are given the opportunity to develop, enjoy the game and be part of a team environment that celebrates ability in all its forms. These sessions are not just about football skills – they are about confidence, friendship and feeling included in the life of the club. We are thrilled to be establishing a ‘Comets +’ season for children aged 12-16, with more news coming soon. Inclusion at Bury FC also extends beyond the pitch. Our Matchday Secretary’s involvement in the Inclusion World Cup darts in Scotland reflects how individuals across the club are encouraged and supported to take part in wider inclusive sport and community initiatives. Alongside this, our FFD (Fans For Diversity) group continues to play an important role in shaping the future of Gigg Lane. Their agreed focus on inclusion and accessibility will help us look closely at how supporters experience the stadium, identifying practical improvements that make matchdays easier, more comfortable and more welcoming for all. What makes the club special is not one programme or one project, but the shared belief that football should be for everyone. From the youngest players in our disability sessions to families attending their first match, to supporters helping shape accessibility improvements, there is a growing sense that Bury FC is a place where people are not just spectators – they are part of something special. The Bury FC family! “Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do at Bury FC. Whether on the pitch, in the stands, or behind the scenes, we are committed to making Gigg Lane a place where everyone feels welcome, valued and able to belong.” Casey Lynchey, Head of Operations and Community.

Bury Football Club can confirm that Dave McNabb has departed his role as Head of Football, bringing to a close a significant chapter in his long-standing association with the Club. A familiar and respected figure among staff, players, and supporters alike, Dave first took charge of first team affairs during a challenging and transitional period back in September 2023, with the Club in 10th place in the North West Counties Premier Division. Stepping into the role of manager with professionalism and determination, he helped stabilise the football side of the Club and laid important groundwork during a time when unity and resilience were essential, leading the team to the Playoff Final. In his first full season in charge, Dave built on that groundwork, starting with an FA Cup run that saw us pick up memorable victories away at Garforth Town, Blyth Spartans, and Radcliffe. The early season form continued after the Christmas period, with the team winning 15 straight matches to clinch the North West Counties Premier Division title with 109 points in front of over 8,000 Shakers at Gigg Lane. Following the start of life in the Northern Premier League West, Dave transitioned into a new role away from the management of the football club but continued to play a key role behind the scenes as Head of Football. In this position, he was instrumental in shaping the Club’s structure, supporting player development pathways, contributing to the broader vision for long-term success, and playing a pivotal role in the appointment of Anthony Johnson as First Team Manager. His experience, leadership, and deep understanding of the game have left a lasting impact on the Club’s progression. Everyone at Bury Football Club would like to place on record their sincere thanks to Dave for his dedication, hard work, and commitment throughout his time with us. His contribution both on and off the pitch will not be forgotten. We wish Dave and his family all the very best for the future. View the full article
