A trip to the North East awaits this Saturday in the FA Trophy, with The Shakers visiting National League North side Darlington FC on the back of successive 1-0 league victories. Tuesday night saw Rustam Stepans cook up something special late on against league leaders Cleethorpes Town at Salford Van Hire Stadium, rounding off a week that saw The Shakers pick up 7 points from three games, climbing back into the Playoff places with games in hand. Now, we turn our attention to the FA Trophy Secon

We were extremely saddened to learn of the passing of former Shaker Darren Beckford, Sunday 8th November. Darren was just eighteen, at the very start of his long career, when Martin Dobson brought him to Gigg Lane on three months loan from Manchester City in October 1985.  An injury to John Kerr had necessitated his recruitment and he certainly had an eventful debut in a 2-1 defeat at Dean Court against AFC Bournemouth.  Darren scored Bury’s goal but also missed a penalty.  He went on to score

After a 1-0 win away to bottom of the league Bamber Bridge, it’s back to Gigg Lane this weekend, with a high-flying Cleethorpes Town side visiting. Anthony Johnson’s side will be hoping to carry on winning ways at home, where we have lost only once since September. The win at the weekend means we currently sit tenth in the table, ten points behind our opponents, whose 2-0 win against Lancaster at the weekend sent them top of the league. The leaders sit only one point above second in a crowded

We are delighted to announce the signing of 19 year-old Calum Hudson on a 28-day loan from Barnsley. The promising centre-back joins the Club after progressing through the youth ranks and into the senior side at Scarborough Athletic of the National League North, having first joined the club at 15. During his time in North Yorkshire, he had loan spells at Tadcaster Albion and Guiseley AFC. Hudson also represented the England U18s Schoolboys Squad when at Scarborough. Calum made the move to Bar

After a hard fought draw against Avro mid-week, we make the short trip to Bamber Bridge this weekend. The draw mid-week means The Shakers remain 10th in the league, six points adrift from play-offs, with two games in hand. Anthony Johnson’s side will be hoping to regroup against a struggling Bamber Bridge side, who currently sit bottom of the league. They remain winless since the 12th September, when they beat Alfreton Town at home. In Opposition – Bamber Bridge Nicknamed ‘The Brig’, the club

Over the October half term, Bury FC Community Sports Trust proudly ran yet another successful holiday club in partnership with the Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF). Over a fantastic four days, children aged 4 to 16, from the local community enjoyed a brilliant programme of football, fun activities and nutritious meals as they made the most of their time away from school. The camp was once again a massive success, giving children the opportunity to make new friends, develop their foo

The Shakers will be hoping to rebound on the road mid-week as we welcome Avro FC after a disappointing 2-1 loss to Workington at the weekend. Defeat at the weekend means we currently sit 11th in the table, albeit with multiple games in hand. Our opponents currently sit six points above in sixth, having lost 1-0 to Cleethorpes Town away at the weekend. A familiar foe for Bury fans, Avro were promoted via play-offs last season after falling two points short of our 90 points tally. In Opposition

Cup matches carry their own kind of electricity, the anticipation, the noise, the sense that anything can happen. But long before the turnstiles click open and the floodlights hum into life, an enormous amount of work takes place across the club to make sure everything runs safely, smoothly and proudly in the Bury way.  The First Steps: Safety, Planning and Permissions  Once the draw is made, the countdown begins. With fewer than twelve days’ notice, the Club must estimate the likely crowd siz
