We are delighted to announce that a team of Bury legends will be gracing the Gigg Lane pitch to take on a Burnley legends team.
A lot of work has gone on behind the scenes in order to make this possible and we can now share the wonderful news.
We will be announcing the management team on Sunday 29th May with players over the coming days and weeks in the build up to what is scheduled to be a great day.
You are now able to purchase tickets for the game at the link below
Adults – £8, Children £4, Family £20 (2 adults and 2 children)
For hospitality information contact commercial@buryfcss.co.uk
We will also be releasing a special one off Bury Legends playing shirt that will be available to purchase online.
All proceeds raised will be split between the ongoing restore and renovations work at Gigg and the Lenny Johnrose Trust.
We would like to thank Vintage Clarets for making this possible and for being the legends opponents on what will surely be a momentous occasion to return to Gigg Lane wearing white and blue whilst cheering on a Bury team.
We would also like to thank the fans who organised the previous legends game in 2019, they provided us with the blueprint of how to run a successful game and their input has been invaluable in making this possible, we have asked them to use the funds set aside that they raised towards helping to maintain the Gigg Lane playing surface for the next 12 months.
Daniel Bowerbank, Operations Director of Gigg Lane Community Stadium, “This event has been a long time coming, since we secured the stadium under fan ownership it has been one of our key events to host.
As part of our sustainable business model for Gigg Lane events outside of the general football usage is a vital income.
As we continue to restore and redevelop Gigg Lane, Vintage Clarets have agreed to provide a superb lineup of former Burnley players to play against our Bury Legends.
We look forward to welcoming all the players back to Gigg along with the Bury Supporters who have endured 3 years of misery due to mismanagement from previous owners.”
