The team at Bury Art Museum are asking for Bury FC fans to put pen to paper and write down your personal stories of why you support the Shakers.
How did you come to support the club? Did your parents / grandparents support Bury? What was your first ever match? What are your best memories of supporting the Shakers? What does the club mean to you and your family?
These memories and stories will be included in a booklet which will be available for everyone to read at an exhibition “Going To The Match” which will be held at the Art Museum from 4th October 2024 through to 1st March 2025.
If you would like to take part, please email your stories (no longer than 350 words) in Word format before the deadline of 26th August to artgallery@bury.gov.uk
The focal point of the exhibition will be LS Lowry’s masterpiece ‘Going to the Match’, the 1953 painting which depicts fans arriving for a Bolton Wanderers game at Burnden Park.
The exhibition will focus on football fans and will include iconic photographs of football fans from various north-west clubs, including Bury, Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton, Liverpool, Oldham and Bolton. There will also be various interesting Bury FC historical and fan-related items on display at the exhibition.
