"Selfless" Benefactors Insist on No Influence – Just a Tiny Bit of Election Meddling!
Our sole motivation from day 1 has been to return to a united Bury FC to Gigg Lane for ALL supporters and the community. We have objected in the past when certain members of BFCSS sought to dismiss those who followed Bury AFC, The Pendulum has now swung entirely the other way as SCS seeks to cleanse the management of any BFCSS representatives and marginalise the Benefactors as much as possible.
This is morally and commercially wrong. By the FANS for the FANS means all fans, not just those that happen to agree with a small group of the leadership.
It is so disappointing to feel forced to issue this statement as there is so much to be celebrating – the number and hard work by the volunteers (matchday and every other day/night of the week), a great atmosphere at matches, especially at Gigg, some memorable moments like the first match and Benito Lowe’s lastminute winner against West Didsbury & Charlton. Also it’s great to see the many new, young fans coming to matches and loving the experience just as much as those who’ve been watching for years and returned to their beloved Gigg. If we’re all together this can become even greater, if we’re divided the honeymoon period will sadly end.
Please ensure that in the forthcoming vote for elections to the new CBS3 board you consider carefully who you elect, or we are seriously worried that the control will rest in a small group that in our experience is not focused on an inclusive, sustainable, community football club.

“Always good to get recognised” – Connor Pye speaks on Player of the Month win
Following our 2-0 win yesterday afternoon against Pilkington, we confirmed Connor Pye as our player of the month for October.
“It’s always good to get recognised for what you’ve been doing,” Pye speaks of the accolade, in a month he scored twice and was apart of three cleansheets.
He then gave us his thoughts on yesterday’s game saying, “It was tough and they’re a good team they came out and tried to play football and they’ve got some really good individuals in their team but the early goal we got helped us a lot and we changed a bit in the second half, but we got another goal.”
Pye added: “It’s about getting momentum because we in a bit of a tough period where the games are coming thick and fast but it’s just about keeping that momentum and there’s another tough game on Tuesday and that’s a big game.”
Looking ahead to Tuesday’s game against FC St Helens, Pye said: “It’s going to be a really tough game there going to play football there a team that is organised and it’s the biggest game so far but if we win there hopefully, we can keep that momentum going into Christmas.”

“It was a tough game in the most parts” – Chris Watts on today’s third consecutive 2-0 win
Bury ran out 2-0 winners against Pilkington this afternoon with goals from Rustam Stepans and Djavan Pedro extending their winning run to three games with another clean sheet as the Shakers climb to third.
“I thought we did okay in spells but it was a tough game in the most parts,” First Team Analyst, Chris Watts reflected on the game.
“It felt like one of them games where it was going to be our undoing if they got anything from this but it was good to get the second one and see it out but it was one of the most controlled games we’ve had at home but I thought we were a bit wasteful at time down at their end and on another day we get a few more and we didn’t really test the keeper but you can’t be too displeased.”
DJ Pedro scored on his home debut, Watts added, “I’m really pleased for him as he’s worked really hard, battled really well, and won his headers. He was a nuisance all day, and I was pleased to see him get one, but I’m pleased to see him on the score sheet, and hopefully, we’ll see more of him.”
Josh Gregory and Sam Coughlan both left the pitch through injury, Watts gave an update on their condition.
“Josh is at the hospital and we think it’s just a dislocation we think he’s just landed awkwardly after the header but we think he’s just dislocated his shoulder so probably a while before we see him and for Sam, I think he ran into the same lad who got underneath Josh so we’re going to send him for an X-ray to see if there is a problem with his hip as that’s where there’s a lot of pain so there two we’re going to have to keep an eye on.”
“Bobby [Carroll] has just been in with the physio now to see where he’s at and we’ve lost two central midfielders today so that’s something we’ve got to look at with the outcome of Josh and Sam but hopefully we’ll get Bobby back for Tuesday and we’ll see how his ankle reacts within the next 24 hours.”
Chris finished the interview by giving his thoughts on the upcoming game against St. Helens, “It’ll be a really tough game. There’s a hardworking side, and he’s had that group together for quite a while now and are running a quest of a wave from getting promoted last year, but it’ll be another tough game we’ll look at, and we’ve got to perform on the day and take the three points.”

“Tuesday is a massive game” – Alex Cherera speaks after today’s win against Pilkington
Winger Alex Cherera was happy with the controlled performance, in today’s 2-0 win against Pilkington.
Cherera said: “It was a good game, and we did well you know we had possession, controlled the game and to be honest we deserved to win so I’m happy with the performance we put out there.”
He than spoke on the focus on the league and the positives of the win and clean sheet streak post the FA Cup exit “Big positives but we need to win every game as we’re just focusing on the league now and soon we’ll be playing again so we’ve only got 2 days to focus and get back into shape so it should be alright you know and focus on the league.”
Cherera than spoke about the weeklong gap between Colne and Pilkington and the benefit it had saying “I think it is nice to have a break you know with the Saturday/Sunday than Tuesday games it was a bit too much but soon will be back to training twice (in between games) and that’s just what we need for games on Saturday/Sunday.”
Looking ahead to Tuesday’s game, Cherera added: “That’s a big game a massive game as St Helens are in good shape so we need to be up for it and we need to get the 3 points as it’s a big game next Tuesday.”

#HerGameToo Weekend
This weekend our fixtures across both men’s and women’s first team games will celebrate women in football, and in sport in general, as we endorse the ‘Her Game Too‘ message.
The club is affliated with the #HerGameToo movement, an organisation founded in May 2021 with the aim of raising awareness and educating others on the importance of inclusivity and diversity in sports. Their video above, was viewed hundreds of thousands of times and the quest to eliminate sexism in football had begun!
We are proud to be one of hundreds of clubs, in both the professional and semi-professional / grassroots settings, to be affiliated in the UK.
Whilst starting within football, and by a group of female football fans spread across the UK, HerGameToo has resonated significantly across the sporting landscape, with like-minded initiatives now set up covering cricket, rugby and ice hockey. The start of the campaign highlighted the inequality felt, particularly by women, in the stands at football grounds across the country. But this is not limited to football supporters on the terraces, we want to see the same acceptance and inclusion on the pitch and behind the scenes.
We start the build-up to this weekend by introducing the team of ambassadors and advocates for the club, starting with Samantha Harman who volunteers as matchday volunteer co-ordinator at Gigg Lane. Sam sat down with buryfc.co.uk to answer questions around how she got involved with #HerGameToo.
Club #HerGameToo Ambassador, Sam Harman Hello Sam, please can you give a quick introduction of yourself and what involvement you have for Her Game Too?
What is your main goal as the Her Game Too ambassador for Bury FC and what are your hoping to achieve in your role as ambassador for women who go along to football matches at Bury?
The Her Game Too campaign has really taken off, how pleasing is it to see such a campaign for women especially after seeing recent campaigns like Kick It Out and Rainbow Laces?
How did you become aware of the Her Game Too campaign?
Why did you decide to get involved in Her Game Too?
Have you ever been subjected to any kind of sexism at a football match or on social media yourself?
Bury FC Women’s Chloe Greenhall wheels away after scoring at Gigg Lane earlier this season What changes have you seen over the years in the attitudes towards women going to watch football in general?
We have seen women’s football really grow recently especially with the lionesses winning the Euros and being runners-up in the World Cup. How good is that to see?
How good is it to see Bury FC promote women’s football as much as they do with the men’s team?
What would you say to any female fan going to football matches who hear things they don’t want to or who are subjected to any sexist abuse? What would you advise them to do?
It’s not just about highlighting sexism and discrimination towards women at football matches but Her Game Too also promotes women’s participation in football too.
We will continue to build up to our #HerGameToo Weekend ahead of the fixtures, but if you want to be #PartofIt grab a ticket for our game against Lower Breck at Gigg Lane by clicking below:

2024/25 Season: Gigg Lane Car Park Policy
As the new season draws closer we wanted to take the opportunity to update you with regards to changes we are making to matchday car parking.
We currently have 182 spaces available on a matchday, the majority have these are taken up by matchday squads and staff, blue badge holders, disabled people, some volunteers, opposition boards and finally some 1885 members.
We have the biggest car park in the division, having a car park of this size presents many operational challenges in terms of a booking in process and then managing it on the day as well which is unsustainable for a club that in the main operates off a volunteer base.
As a result the following changes will be made for the upcoming season:
30 spaces will be allocated for blue badge holders/disabled. If you would like a space for the upcoming season please go onto TicketCo and pick a ticket for parking (£0 cost). You will then be required to attend the club reception (during opening hours) and collect a pass, you will be required to show a blue badge to obtain the pass.
52 spaces will be allocated to players and officials and boards.
The remaining spaces will be on a first come first serve basis charged at £5 (cash only on the day and we would ask that were possible you have correct money).
This decision has not been taken lightly but saves many man hours from an operational perspective whilst also driving further revenues for the club to invest in fan related activities.
Surrounding Gigg Lane
SatNav Postcode: BL9 9HR
WhatThreeWords: ///issues.skins.span
There is on-street parking in the residential areas surrounding Gigg Lane (as shown above), with supporters reminded to be respectful and considerate of the local residents at all times, as well as being mindful of and adhering to the parking permit measures in place in close proximity to the ground.

3G Pitch Update
We are pleased to confirm that we have now signed the contract to install a 3G pitch at Gigg Lane this summer.
We understand the frustration supporters feel around frequent match postponements due to the poor condition of the grass pitch this season. It is important that we maintain a focus on the long term success of the club. An artificial surface means that we can grow the reach of the club by bringing the wider community into Gigg Lane, make the stadium more financially sustainable, and build a base from which all of our teams can train and play, giving players the consistency and familiarity they need to succeed.
Payment will be made in phases as the work progresses. The initial payment will be met by the Society reserves and we will receive matched funding of £300,000 from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. This will utilise the full £1m available from their Community Ownership Fund.
We will also draw down funding from Bury Council who are contributing £450,000, as approved by their Cabinet recently. We are finalising a Community Development Plan with Bury Council which will commit us to a programme of work in the borough designed to maximise community usage of the stadium through a diverse number of initiatives, not just football.
Our objective for the new season is to retain a strong balance sheet and drive greater revenue through pitch hire, which will be limited to 50 hours per week to protect the surface over the next 8 years. As highlighted in our previous statement, a significant amount of this revenue will be allocated to a sinking fund to replace the pitch when required, be it another artificial surface or a return to grass.
At this stage of the season we know there is a focus on results with the ultimate aim of promotion. Football provides us with an opportunity to live in the moment, and we don’t want to dampen the joy that those moments bring to our supporters. Off the pitch, however, we remain relentless in our pursuit of a bigger, longer term objective to maximise the potential of the club in all areas.
We also recognise that the grass pitch has a specific place in many supporters’ hearts. Not least those who have the ashes of their loved ones scattered there. With this in mind we would like to confirm the following:
We will hold a ceremony at Gigg Lane for anyone who has had the ashes of a the friends or relatives scattered there, to allow them to say a farewell once more. Details of the ceremony will be announced as soon as we have the date. We will sell up to 500 pieces of turf from the Gigg Lane pitch, presented in seed boxes, to raise funds for the club and allow supporters to own a little piece of history. The dimensions will be 344mm x 214mm x 52mm and the first pieces bought will also receive a free copy of James Bentley’s book on Bury Football Club ‘Things Can Only Get Better: Bury’s Mid-90s Rise Under Stan Ternent’. We are grateful to James for this donation. There will also be a raffle for the two penalty spots. Further details will follow. Artificial grass is not as environmentally friendly as real grass. We believe the good we can do throughout the community outweighs the cost overall, but we do recognise our responsibilities to the environment. We are grateful to our shirt sleeve sponsors, Redfox Countryside Services, specialists in ecological management and restoration services, who have offered their services to help develop Starkies Wood, next to Gigg Lane, in a way which will contribute towards eventually making this project carbon neutral. The stadium is one of the oldest in Britain, and it would be wrong to pretend that carbon neutrality is easily achievable, but this is one step in that direction and we are extremely grateful for the thoughtful and unprompted offer of support from Redfox Countryside Services on this matter. It would require Council approval.
There is also an early stage idea around a commemorative garden using the centre spot.
The sight and smell of a grass pitch is something we all have imprinted in our footballing DNA. Our move to an artificial surface is a rational one, supported by an overwhelming 92% majority of our members. That doesn’t mean we don’t recognise the past and our emotional connection to it through places such as Gigg Lane. We hope this note shows an acknowledgment of that. It is just the start of many ideas and initiatives for the forthcoming months.
As always, keep across the latest from the club on the website, X / Twitter & Facebook.

A brave new future for the Treasureline Partnership
Many Bury fans will fondly remember the old Treasureline lottery of yesteryear, that unfortunately fell on hard times due to bad management and the impact of Covid.
Industry experts and Bury town centre based NYCDA refocused the old approach to ensure the name wasn’t lost and proceeds were continued to be generated by being a part of their NYCDA Weekly Draw.
We want to try and restore Treasureline to its former glories in just the same way that Bury Football Club and Gigg Lane have been brought back to life. You can follow Treasureline on X (formerly Twitter) to the right.
Encouraging as many people as possible to sign up to Treasureline supports both the club and provides the funds to allow Bury Football Club to extend its reach into the wider community in Bury by supporting to development of women’s football, developing youth teams, and reaching out to schools and charities who can all play a major part of our future growth.
Football Club Chair Marcel de Matas commented on the benefits of Treasureline:
Whether you’re a passionate supporter or someone interested in supporting a community project, you can support the refreshed Treasureline Partnership by becoming a participant in the NYCDA Weekly Draw.
You can play for as little as £1 per week with the opportunity to win fantastic cash amounts including a main weekly prize of £1,000, as well as a £500 rollover, which can rise to a huge £10,000. Additional prizes ranging from £10 to £100 are also up for grabs every Wednesday. For information including how to join, as well as some insights where the proceeds are used and the kind of work this partnership will continue to support, please click on the image below.

American Juniors Teams Visit Gigg Lane
Last week we had the pleasure of hosting two football clubs from Chicago on behalf of FTI Sports Ltd – Lindenhurst Area Soccer Club and Chicago KICS Youth Soccer Club.
Hiring Gigg Lane for training sessions, the children loved playing on the pitch and watching from the stands the parents loved hearing the story of Bury’s return to football.
Following the session they flooded into the club shop to buy memorabilia of their trip from football tops and hoodies to pin badges and an abundance of our scarves and bobble hats to take back to Chicago for the winter.
In the days that followed they played fixtures vs our Under 13s, Under 12s and Under 10s A & B teams, with some of the games streamed across the pond!
Replays of these exhibition fixtures, can be watched here.

An Evening With…
Join us on Friday, 13th December in Starkies, for a night of football stories, laughs, and great company!
We will be joined by former Bury player & manager Martin Dobson, former Bury chairman Terry Robinson and current first-team manager Dave McNabb, all hosted by Michael “Braddy” Bradshaw.
Martin Dobson, a prolific midfield player in his era, began his career at Bolton Wanderers before finding success with Burnley, where he spent 13 seasons across two stints, interrupted by a five-year spell with Everton.
During his career, Dobson celebrated two promotions to the top flight with Burnley (1973 and 1982), made 494 appearances, scored 76 goals, and reached FA Cup semi-finals with both Burnley and Everton.
Capped five times for England, he later became player-manager at Bury in 1984, transforming a struggling club with a streamlined squad and exciting signings like Leighton James. In his first full season, he led Bury to promotion from the Fourth Division, eventually establishing them in the Third Division.
For the Shakers, he played 70 games and managed a further 282 matches, Dobson left an enduring legacy of success and attacking football despite limited resources.
On the night, Martin will be launching his autobiography giving guests an early opportunity to purchase a signed copy.
Tickets are £25 or £45 with a signed copy of Martin’s book, this includes:
A table seat in Starkies Lounge Pie and peas. Special auction and raffle prizes.
Doors will open at 7:00pm for an 8:00pm start. Dress code – smart casual.
