We look forward to welcoming the travelling players, staff, volunteers and fans from the Isle of Man to Gigg Lane this coming Saturday for what is set to be a tough challenge as Dave McNabb’s men look to bounce back from last weekend’s loss in South Manchester.
The inquest on what went wrong at the Step Places Stadium has been thorough and honest. We hope to see the fruits of all that heart-searching in this match and the rest of the season.
With that in mind, we’re still up there and remain second in the league. Chadderton are now three points behind us from the same number of games and new signings have further strengthened our squad. Our bid for promotion is most definitely on – and definitely achievable.
So come on Shakers! Get down to Gigg and support the lads with plenty of noise. Up the Shakers!!!!

In Opposition – Ramsbottom United
The Ravens went straight into the NWCFL Div 1 South after being set up in 2020, were promoted in their first season, and now sit in 9th position in the Premier Division.
It’s a remarkable record, and we saw their strengths in our 1-1 draw in Douglas in September. They defend robustly and are skilled in the art of game management.
They’ve hit a rocky patch, having won only one of their last six matches. But the recent 3-2 home win against St Helens – just above them in the table – gave them a boost.
We scraped that draw on the island with a goal from Ben Hockenhull in the final minute. By then we had only nine players after two were sinned-binned in the final stages.
