This last game of the season is to be dedicated to all Shakers who have passed away and, in particular, those who have left us most recently.
For the past two seasons we have dedicated part of the Remembrance Day event to those fans, however, we feel that, going forward we should celebrate the memory of our Shakers family as a unique event, so that we can fully acknowledge the history and contribution our fans, players, officials, volunteers and staff have made to our club.
Fans have been raising money to buy a commemorative wreath for the game which will then be placed in our Memorial Garden. Thank you to everyone who has donated. The surplus raised will be donated to Bury Hospice in memory of all past Shakers.
The last game in this season, our 140th anniversary year gives us an opportunity to not only look back on the year, but the proud history of Bury Football Club. We, and all those who have entered Gigg Lane before us, are part of the rich tapestry of Bury FC and, on Saturday, we will honour and celebrate their impact with words of thanks and commemoration followed by a minutes applause.
There are many who may not be with us in body today but they are always with us in spirit at our beloved Gigg Lane so let’s raise the roof with our applause and let the proud history of Bury FC ring out across the stadium and beyond.
The names of fans who have passed away since November 2023 will be scrolled onto the scoreboard and are remembered here.
