We face AFC Liverpool tomorrow (7.45pm) as we start a run of three home games in seven days. And we do so in good heart after two great victories.
Notching up an impressive 2-1 win against Avro in the Emirates FA Cup Preliminary Round on Saturday after that thumping 7-1 win at Abbey Hey four days earlier.
The Shakers took the lead against the Northern Premier League side through Alex Cherera just before half-time. The Oldham side equalised through a free kick late in the second half just as Lewis Alessandra came on as a substitute. But new signing Alessandra grabbed the winner three minutes from time.
Maghull FC follow AFC Liverpool at Gigg next Saturday, and Cheadle Town FC on Bank Holiday Monday (both 3.00pm).
The last time Bury were at home they played out a disappointing 2-2 draw against Irlam in the first game on the new 3G pitch. We are hoping for better as welcome Merseyside-based opposition to Gigg Lane for the first time of the season. Get all your match details below.
In Opposition – AFC Liverpool
AFC Liverpool are currently fourth in the NWCFL Premiership table, having won three and drawn one of their four matches, just ahead of Bury’s two wins and two draws.
The club was born in 2008 as an expression of frustration by 1,000 Liverpool FC fans at the cost and difficulty of getting tickets for Premier League matches.
They insisted that they had no issue with the Anfield club or its owners but with the way the top end of English football was being run. Indeed, they hoped to be considered Liverpool’s “little brother”.
After entering into a ground-sharing agreement with Prescot Cables, they joined the North West Counties Football League and three years later accepted the offer of a place in the Premier Division. After relegation and then promotion, they are now seen as an established Premier Division team.
