Shakers head back to Gigg Lane for a table-topping clash against Lower Breck. A win would see us cut the gap to Breck two points at the top of the table, subject to other results involving Avro & Shifnal Town. We come into this one off the back of Tuesday’s 4-1 win at Nantwich, braces from Rustam Stepans and Kai Evans either side of half time gave us our first away win since early October. Breck faced Avro in midweek and came off the back of it with just their second defeat of the season. Prior to kick off, we will be holding our Remembrance Service honouring those who fought and died so we could live in freedom. We would like to invite any Veterans to enjoy the game on us. All you need to do is report to the hospitality entrance on matchday with your proof of service. The fixture will also kick-off at 3:03pm to support National League’s 3UP Day of Action. Read more here. In Opposition – Lower Breck Founded 14 years ago to offer a youth team for Liverpool’s Tuebrook community, the club now plays at the Anfield Sports Community Centre. It later lifted its age restrictions, setting its sights on becoming Liverpool’s leading non-league side, a goal proudly expressed in the Latin motto on its coat of arms: nulli secondus (“second to none”). Lower Breck joined the Shakers in the NPL West with promotion in the playoffs last year, after being in the NWCFL since 2019.

Bury Football Club would like to thank all supporters for their cooperation with the new safety procedures introduced at Gigg Lane recently. These changes are part of our continued commitment to ensuring a safe, secure, and enjoyable matchday experience for everyone attending our home games. Arrive Early to Avoid Delays We’re asking all supporters to arrive a little earlier than usual to help ease entry into the ground. The new procedures may take slightly longer at the turnstiles, so arriving in good time will help prevent queues and avoid any delays to kick-off. Increased Security Searches: A Safer Stadium As part of the enhanced safety measures, supporters will notice increased searching at the turnstiles, including the use of security wands by the trained stewards. These searches are a simple but important step in keeping everyone safe and ensuring Gigg Lane remains a welcoming environment for all fans. Thank You for Your Support We’d like to thank fans for their continued support and for working with us as we implement these measures. By arriving early and following steward guidance, you’ll help ensure that everyone can enjoy the matchday build-up and get behind the team right from kick-off. View the full article

Back-to-back away games for the Shakers as we travel to Nantwich Town on Tuesday evening. We head into this one off the back of Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Bootle. Bury were forced to settle for a point after DJ Pedro’s equaliser and a missed penalty. Ben Hodkinson had given the hosts the lead before halftime, but despite second-half pressure, the Shakers couldn’t find a winner in Dave McNabb’s return to his former club. The Shakers are looking for their first away win in four games, with the last coming in a 1-0 victory at Trafford on October 7th. In Opposition – Nantwich Town Nantwich Town have won once in their last four matches – a victory over Vauxhall Motors at the end of October – and earned a point on Saturday with a draw at Darlaston Town. Former Shakers Aidy Roxburgh, Ben Hockenhull, Pat Jarrett, and Byron Moore are all part of the Dabbers’ squad. This is Nantwich’s third season in the NPL West Division following 13 campaigns in the tier above.

We are back in Northern Premier League West action this Saturday as we make the trip to Merseyside to face Bootle at the Berry Street Garage Stadium. After a positive showing at the weekend, The Shakers will be aiming to continue their recent good form on the road as we head into the busy November schedule. It’s been a testing few weeks for Dave McNabb’s side, with games coming thick and fast. The squad has been stretched, but recent performances have shown resilience and togetherness as Bury look to maintain their push near the top end of the table. We extended our impressive home form with a 2-0 victory over Kidsgrove Athletic on Saturday. Tyler James & Kai Evans scored either side of the hour mark to seal three points for the Shakers. Oscar Threlkeld returned from injury to captain the side, whilst Tyler James was once again on the scoresheet in his second consecutive game since his return from a brief spell at Padiham. Owen Barker & Regan Riley returned for appearances off the bench. Elsewhere, Owen Robinson & Callum Spooner have gained minutes for the Under 21s at the weekend as they seek a return in the near future. In Opposition – Bootle Bootle are in their fifth season in the Northern Premier League West, having gained promotion from the North West Counties during the COVID-affected seasons. Alan Morgan’s side are 12th in the table and are four points off the play-offs, and have suffered back-to-back defeats against Chasetown & Congleton. Former Shakers Lewis Earl, Jack Lenehan & Courtney Duffus are all within the squad. Admission & TicketsTickets are on sale in advance for this game.

At Bury FC, our volunteers are the heartbeat of the club; their time, dedication and passion help keep everything running smoothly both on and off the pitch. With over 200 incredible individuals giving up their time to support the club, we want to show our appreciation and give something back. To celebrate their efforts, we’re introducing a new Volunteer Reward Scheme. Each week, one volunteer will be selected at random to receive a Certificate of Appreciation, recognising their contribution and commitment to Bury FC. Casey Lynchey, Head of Operations, said, “It’s a simple gesture, but it means a lot – a small way to give a big ‘thank you’ to the incredible volunteers who make such a huge difference to our club and the wider community. Week after week, our volunteers give up their own time to help with everything from matchday operations and community projects to maintaining the ground and supporting our teams. Their passion and commitment are at the heart of what makes Bury FC so special, and this reward scheme is our way of recognising just how valued they truly are. We want every volunteer to know that their efforts don’t go unnoticed and that they are an essential part of the Bury FC family.” Our first volunteer winner is Nick O’Brien who is the assistant manager of our U12B boys team and occasional coach with our Baby Ballers. We spoke to Rhys the U12s manager who had this to say about Nick, “I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Nick at Bury FC, and I can honestly say his dedication to the U12s team is nothing short of inspiring. As a volunteer coach, he gives his time freely, but you’d think it was his full-time job with the amount of effort and passion he puts into everything he does. What many people don’t see is the incredible work he does behind the scenes. Planning training sessions, analysing matches, communicating with parents, and making sure every player feels valued and supported. He’s constantly looking for ways to help the kids develop not only as footballers but also as people.” Nick added, “His enthusiasm is infectious, and his commitment to creating a positive, disciplined, and fun environment for the players sets a brilliant example for everyone at the club. Whether it’s turning up early to set up cones and goals in the rain, staying late to tidy up, or spending his evenings researching new drills and coaching methods, Nick always goes the extra mile. He genuinely cares about every player’s progress and takes pride in seeing them grow in confidence and ability. Bury FC and the under 12’s team are lucky to have someone with his level of commitment and heart. He embodies what grassroots football is all about, passion, teamwork, and a genuine love for helping young players thrive.” View the full article

Looking ahead, we are committed to further growth, with plans to strengthen our girls’ teams and support more opportunities for competitive and recreational play, coaching and leadership development. Head of Operations and Community, Casey Lynchey, said, “Receiving the Equal Game Kitemark reflects not just our achievements on the pitch, but the club’s broader values: equality, accessibility and community. It celebrates the dedication of our coaches, volunteers and players who make our women’s and girls’ football programmes a success, and it inspires us to continue building one of the most inclusive and ambitious female football pathways in the North West. We are incredibly grateful to Manchester FA for their continued support, which has been instrumental in helping us grow and strengthen women’s and girls’ football at Bury Football Club. Their backing allows us to provide more opportunities, inspire more players and create a truly inclusive football community.” View the full article

We’re back on home soil this weekend, taking on Kidsgrove Athletic after what has felt like an incredibly long stretch of games away. In his post-match interview over the weekend, Dave expressed his pride in the group. Who despite facing an unprecedented revolving door of injuries, the team performed well against a very strong Vauxhall side. Tyler James returned to the lineup in Ellesmere Port bagging a brace and DJ Pedro scored his 30th league goal in Bury colours. We enter this week in a position where we have two training sessions ahead of us before Saturday’s game and hoping to have one or two players back in contention before the weekend. So with that said, we need our 12th man! Get down to Gigg, bang that drum, sing your hearts out and get behind your Shakers! In Opposition – Kidsgrove Athletic The club formed in 1952 as a breakaway from Kidsgrove United, has grown from local league beginnings to become an established Northern Premier League club. Kidsgrove Athletic have played at this level since the 2002-03 season in its various guises, having peaked at fourth place in 2010. Ex Shaker Tom Pope has been joint manager with Matty Rhead since mid-way through last season, and it wasn’t an easy period. Kidsgrove survived with the 1 point required to stay up. Oliver Jepson, son of Ronnie, has also re-joined Kidsgrove for a second spell since leaving Gigg Lane, via Stafford Rangers. They are 12th in the table, having won five from their opening 14 in the league.
