New Season, New Kits – You Decide
Since announcing that kit partner, Hope + Glory Sportswear were to return for the 2023/24 season, the team at H+G have been hard at work in conjunction with the Interim board and operating football board to give members a fresh set of kit options for the new season.
In future, we will continue to make a commitment to keep our kits for two seasons, but for the 2023/24 season we will have two fresh kits as the ‘White & Blue Army’ makes the return to Gigg Lane. The options being put to members can be found here.
Home Kit
Ever conscious about our illustrious history, the kit designs have drawn on inspiration from the past with versions which have been sported by teams representing the club across the years, as shown below.
circa 1924 1984/85 1994/95 1997/98 Images courtesy of Pete Cullen
This season’s selections provide replica versions of our simple all-white shirts, with or without blue trim to the collar, and with a subtle nod to the chevrons that featured in the 90s. Or how about a kit that was worn in our visit to Wembley in 1995?
The choice is yours from those styled below:
Your 2023/24 home kit choices
What will also be your choice, will be the shade of blue that features across the trim, shorts and socks. Will it be Royal or Navy Blue, for you?
As author of the The Official History of Bury FC Pete Cullen writes, we have flirted with both over the years:
“Despite playing in white shorts in the first two years of the club’s history, a shade of blue has been the predominant colour of this part of Bury’s kit since 1888.
“Navy was the colour of choice from 1888 all the way through to 1962. From then until 1986 the team wore royal blue, before the switch was made to a darker shade which lasted until 1994 when royal blue was reintroduced. Barring the 2009/10 125th anniversary season and the 2014/15 promotion season when white was the adopted colour, royal blue remained the colour of the team’s shorts until its last season in the Football League, when navy blue was chosen once again.“
Away Kit
When our home kit clashes with the opposition and we need to make a change, we have also taken inspiration from the past with how the team on the pitch represent us in the stands. A regular feature at the top of polls with any Bury supporter was the purple and green striped kit from 1994/95 season.
Hope + Glory have given us their take on the designs with three choices, again for members to select from.
Your 2023/24 away kit choices
Kit votes will be processed online with email ballots sent via our partner, Election Buddy. This vote will be submitted to members of Shakers Community and Bury FC Supporters Society over the coming days.
All existing members of both societies will be transferred over to the new amalgamated society (‘The Football Supporters’ Society of Bury’) in the coming weeks, so with memberships open again, if you are not a member yet, why not? Join NOW by clicking on the above links.
We hope you like the designs and enjoy the process of making your selection and having your voice, on your club! Be #PartOfIt, Be #ShakersTogether.

New Women’s Manager: Jason Jarrett
Bury Football Club are delighted to confirm that Jason Jarrett has been appointed manager of our Women’s first team.
Jarrett was appointed interim manager last month but has now taken the role on a permanent basis.
Speaking to buryfc.co.uk about the appointment he said: “It was quite an easy decision. I thought I would give myself a bit of time to think about it because it’s a big commitment, but just being in and around the girls and working with Gaz & Dave who are going to be my assistants and working with Casey as well it just felt right. I’m really excited to get going.
Dave Heaney & Gary Pratt will join Jason’s coaching staff as his assistant managers, with Kelly Boag continuing in her role as goalkeeper coach.
Dave had a brief spell as a youth player at Bury in the early 1990s and featured in a fixture against Manchester City. He’s also been involved in local grassroots football in Bury over the last 30 years as a player, coach, manager & chairman.
Gary played alongside Jason during his grassroots football days at Roach Dynamos Juniors and is a lifelong Bury fan. He’s been involved in the Women’s game for the last eight years with Manchester Football Dreams in which he’s seen treble-winning success last season.
Both Dave and Gary are excited to get started.
“We’re both proud and super excited to get the opportunity to work alongside local Bury legend Jason Jarrett and hopefully together we can help Bury FC Women continue with their success.”
Head of Women’s Football, Casey Lynchey added: “We have a really strong management team in place, who are already making an impact with the team.
“We know this season is going to be more challenging than the previous two, but we have a strong team to further build upon and we have had some really exciting trialists down in pre-season too. There’s a real buzz around the place and the result against FC United last Sunday really lifted spirits too.
“This Sunday sees us host Bradford Women at Unsworth Cricket Club and we know it will be a challenging game but we are all looking forward to it and would love to get a good support down to watch.”

Season tickets prices account for all 23 home league games (including VAT) and are able to be purchased in either the Main Stand or South Stand only. You have until 10th July to purchase if you want a printed Season Ticket card. Purchases after that date will be digital ticket only.
U16 Season Ticket Giveaway: We will be holding an event at Gigg Lane on Saturday 22nd June from 11am, where there are 100 free U16 season tickets to be given away. More details will follow this week, so put this date in your diary.
Reserved Seating: Supporters will be required to select their seat when purchasing online this season. Seats selected will be noted as ‘Reserved’ for all league games. Select the ticket you require to purchase, this opens up the Gigg Lane plan and from there you will be able to select your block of choice, and then row / seat number. Example provided below.
Step 1 – Choose your ticket Step 2 – Choose your block Step 3 – Choose your seat Whilst we are permitting season ticket holders to reserve seats, there are occasions where we may need to ask people to change seat. We are completing some further work on the Main Stand so this is the most likely stand to require changes. However, we will try to ensure that an alternative seat is made available in the same stand.
We have also blocked out a few sections which are not available for reservation. These are the hospitality and press areas in the Main Stand, and Blocks A and B in the South Stand, which will continue as the singing section. Anyone wishing to use Blocks A or B are advised to reserve a seat in South Stand Block J when choosing a ticket.
We have also blocked out Blocks H and I in the Main Stand so that we can use this for away supporters, and save the cost of opening another stand for what will usually be a small number of away fans.
Please take care when choosing your seat as we are unable to change it for you after purchase.
The position of the pitch is shown by the green strip marked ‘Field’ which shows which way you will be facing. We have tried to use all the old row and seat numbers so it is as accurate as we could make it.
If you decide you don’t like your seat there will be plenty of unreserved seating available.
Purchasing more than one ticket: Season ticket purchases will be linked to the email address used at the time of purchase. The club may sometimes use the ticketing platform to contact ticket holders, for instance regards match updates or changes.

Disabled Supporter & Carer Tickets: We have used the best practice guidance set out by Level Playing Field for ticketing and seating management for disabled supporters, as well as input from a small number of our own disabled fans and those at other clubs. This follows the concept of making a more considered ‘reasonable adjustment’ rather than just a concession on price.
In accordance with this guidance, anyone with a disability requiring the assistance of a carer will be asked to purchase a ticket at full price, which then allows for a free carer ticket for someone to escort them to the game.
Purchasers of free carer tickets will be contacted by email to provide evidence of disability which can be one of the following documents:
Receipt of the mid-rate care element or the high-rate mobility component of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA), War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement or Personal Independence Payments (PIP). Receipt of either the Severe Disablement Allowance or Attendance Allowance. War Pensioners’ Mobility Allowance or War or Service Disablement Pension for 80% or more disability. Blind or partially sighted registration certificate (BD8 or CVI Certificate). Further advice can be found on the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) website. Confirmation in writing from Social Services that the individual is included on their Deaf Register, or a letter or report from an aural specialist confirming that hearing loss has been recorded at 70 – 95 dBHL or worse. Confirmation in writing from Social Services that the individual has a learning difficulty or disability. For children – a letter from the head teacher at a their school confirming eligibility will be acceptable.

NWCFL Premier Division Club & GK of the Month
We are delighted to announce that Harry Wright has again been named January NWCFL Premier Division Goalkeeper of the Month sponsored by Reusch UK. He also picked up the award in October last year.
Harry was in the team for the three games played in the month, with wins in all. Clean sheets in against both Irlam and Litherland, until the only blot on the copybook being the single goal conceded against Skelmersdale. Thankfully, 10 had gone in the other end!
As well as Harry picking up his award, the club are thrilled to be awarded the ‘Club of the Month’ for the first time this season, in reflect of results on the pitch during the same period.
19 goals and nine points were enough to seal the prize which was awarded when league chairman, Paul Lawler, and League Development Officer Charlie O’Brien visited Gigg Lane on Saturday for the game against Burscough.
They are pictured below with Harry, captain Tom Moore and on behalf of the club, volunteer from our matchday hospitality Jenny Wiggans.

NWCFL Premier Division GK of the Month: Harry Wright
We are delighted to announce that Harry Wright has been named NWCFL Premier Division Goalkeeper of the Month for October 2023.
Harry made his debut for the club last month, in a 4-0 victory against Wythenshawe Town.
The month continued, with a 1-0 victory against Squires Gate and a second consecutive clean sheet for the son of former Manchester City & Ipswich goalkeeper Richard Wright.
October concluded with a third consecutive clean sheet and a penalty save for Wright in a tough away test at West Didsbury & Chorlton. His penalty save at 1-0 to Bury (see below), allowed the side to go on and win 3-0 and there for complete the month in style.
In the six league games played in October, the Shakers have kept four clean sheets, three of which were kept by Wright.
Our first league recognised award of the season, well done Harry!

Once, Twice, Three Times a Contract Extension
In the words of Lionel Richie, we are delighted to confirm three players that have extended their contracts for the 2023/24 season.
Starting with the No.1, it’s Jack Atkinson.
The 22-year-old Welsh shot-stopper has been integral to Andy Welsh’s side over the past two seasons, clocking up 98 appearances.
Atkinson signed for the club in July 2021 and has been a fan favourite ever since. Making the big saves along the way and can’t forget banging the drum in the Isle of Man.
Last season he picked up the North West Counties Division One North Goalkeeper of the Year award.
Jack’s aims are clear to see ahead of the new campaign.
From the backline to the forward line, we are delighted to extend the contract of winger Connor Comber.
The 23-year-old joined the club in August after leaving Atherton LR and signed a contract in December until the end of the 2022/23 season, which has been extended for a further year.
Comber knocked up 45 appearances last season, with the second most goal contributions amongst the squad, scoring 18 goals and supplying five assists.
He’s also been on-trial in the last 18 months at EFL side Queens Park Rangers, so he’s a player we are delighted to retain.
Another player that’s re-signed from the forward line is Lewis Gilboy.
The 23-year-old joined the club in August 2020 after being released by Accrington Stanley.
He also had non-league experience before coming to join Andy Welsh’s team after playing 10 games for City of Liverpool just before the pandemic in March 2020.
Lewis had the most goal contributions last season, with 32. Scoring 22 and assisting a further 10.
He’s also the second highest on the appearance charts with a 105 apperances.
Manager Andy Welsh commented on the three contract extensions.

Thankfully, we have agreement from both Charnock and the league to bring forward the kick-off time next Saturday to 12.30pm*. This is to allow the game to be broadcast via live stream and not co-incide with the ‘blocked hours’ ruling, which prevents viewing within the UK of 3pm kick-offs on a Saturday afternoon. More on this further down the page.
Further to the above, we have had to make the following preparations for this game and wish to inform supporters of the necessary plans with the update below.
Who is allowed inside Gigg Lane?
The ground will be not be open to supporters, and controls will be set up to prevent all but those allowed to enter the ground on each match day.
This will include all players, staff and officials for each club alongside working volunteers who carry out necessary roles in ensuring the game can function as normal. This information will be gathered in the lead up to the games from both within the club and the visiting sides.
There will therefore be representatives from both clubs allowed to carry out their roles across club administration, ground staff, team and kit staff, press representatives and club media officials alongside photographers and camera operatives.
The car park will be closed to all those who are not on the accepted lists will not be allowed entry under any circumstances. Security operatives will be assisting on the entrance to the car park, as well as around the ground, to ensure we control access to Gigg Lane at all times.
Tickets / Programmes
It is our intention to offer refunds for all pre-purchased tickets for either game. We are working on a solution for reimbursing season ticket holders and will communicate this to follow.
If you have any queries relating to tickets, please contact the club via email – tickets@buryfc.co.uk
A programme will be available to purchase for pick-up at Gigg Lane after the completion of the behind closed doors fixtures. These will be £3 (plus Ticketco fee) each and available to buy only online. Head to buryfc.co.uk/tickets to buy yours.
Access to the Live Stream Broadcast
The live stream of both games will be available FREE OF CHARGE on the website (buryfc.co.uk), on our YouTube channel and across our Facebook page. The direct links will be communicated ahead of the games, but you won’t miss a moment of the action.
Donations to the Club
Supporters have asked about options to make financial contributions back to the club. We are working on providing an online payment mechanism and more details on this will follow.
