We are pleased to announce our pre-season fixture list, following the announcement of football returning to Gigg Lane this summer.   We start at the first opportunity on Saturday 1st July by re-visiting Dennyfield to take on Step 5 Thackley AFC. This comes as part of the agreement that saw Tom Greaves and Aidan Chippendale sign for Bury for the final few games of last season. There will be the added bonus of our women’s side taking on Thackley Ladies in an early kick-off (times TBC). Ther

The launch of a new website for a new start. Since the results of the amalgamation vote were confirmed in May, with a resounding percentage of the support wanting to see football being played out of Gigg Lane in 2023/24 and following yesterday’s announcement that the name Bury Football Club can be used also, the media groups across the two separate entities have come together for a ‘New Start’ for football in the town of Bury. A fundamental part of spreading this message

Structure of the organisation – How we arrived at the current position I have previously given an update on where we are with the structure of the organisation and the relationship with the benefactors, but with more questions and so much misinformation in circulation I have prepared this more detailed note which summarises how we have arrived at the current position.   As secretary of the Football Supporters’ Society of Bury (FSSB) I have no vote, my role is to record discussions and

We have completed the amalgamation of the two societies, the name change to Bury Football Club and made Gigg Lane our home ground, which were the three items voted on by members in May. We also advised as part of the pre-vote information pack that we would move the ownership of the football club, which is Bury Football Club (2019) Ltd trading as Bury Football Club, under the ownership of The Bury Football Club Company Limited, subject to further financial due diligence. We have been advised

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.

Here! We! Go!
