Match Info: Wythenshawe Town (A), Tues 8th Aug, 7.45pm KO
Saturday 5th August 2023, the day that the world’s oldest national football competition, The FA Cup, returned to Gigg Lane. With The Shakers as the away side! In a turn of events that saw the match being moved to Bury we welcomed Uttoxeter to town as the hosts.
Being the away team didn’t seem to dampen the spirits with a phenomenal 2,903 turning up to cheer The Shakers on to a resounding 4-1 victory. Goals from Benito Lowe, Sean Higgins and a calmly slotted-home penalty from Connor Comber in added-time at the end of the game ensured the Shakers passage into the Preliminary Round and an away trip to Charnock Richard on the 19th August. You can watch the highlights form Saturday’s match below.
The games come thick and fast, and focus returns back to the league this Tuesday night, as we head to Ericstan Park to face one of last season’s top teams, Wythenshawe Town. Bury will see a much changed side from the previous season following the departure of manager, James Kinsey to Stalybridge, the appointment of new manager, Rory Fallon and a raft of changes in the playing squad.
Town have had a mixed start, with one win and one loss in the league so far, departing the FA Cup at the weekend following a 1-0 loss away at Congleton Town. We are set for a nice summer’s evening in South Manchester, so get all your pre-match information below.
In Opposition – Wythenshawe Town
Early Days: The club was founded in 1946 as the North Withington Amateur Football Club and was the idea of some young men who attended St. Crispin’s Church on Hart Road in Fallowfield. The club first played in the South Manchester & Wythenshawe League (1946 – 1958) and were subsequently transferred to the Lancashire & Cheshire Amateur league (1958 – 1972).
Manchester League & Timpson Road: It was in 1972 the club applied and were accepted into the Manchester League, when up until 1974 all games of football were played at Hough End Field, Princess Road, Withington.
In June 1974, under the helm of Chairman Billy Moore, the club’s headquarters were moved from the Princess Hotel in Withington to the newly acquired ground at Timpson Road, Baguley, M23 9LL where three pre-fabricated houses were purchased and turned into a clubhouse with a bar, kitchen and changing facilities. After numerous discussions, it was decided to name the ground after the residing Chairman (Stan Hahn) and the Club Secretary (Eric Renard) out of respect, honouring them as founding members, hence the name Ericstan Park. And it was at this point, the club decided to design a new badge incorporating a cockerel and a fox; the cockerel related to founding member Stanley Hahn (the German for cockerel is Hähnchen) and the fox to founding member Eric Renard (the French for fox is Renard), to forever recognise the club’s founding members.
Cheshire League & The Invincibles: In 2014 and under new Chairman Kenny Hope, the club transferred to the Cheshire League Division 2 and went on to become history-makers, making national headlines as they won every single league and Cup game, 39 games in total, earning the side the title, ‘The Invincibles.’ Back to back promotions on their debut in the Cheshire League, and with a working partnership in place with professional football club Fleetwood Town, the club set their sights firmly on bringing semi-professional football to the club for the first time in history.
The North-West Counties Football League & Semi-Pro Football: That ambition came to realisation at the end of the 2017/18 season after two seasons in the Cheshire Premier League when the club secured promotion to Step 6 and the Hallmark Security North West Counties League South Division, heralding a new era at the club. There were further changes at the beginning of 2019 when Chris Eaton took over as Chairman with a promise to put the club on a sound business footing. Promotion was narrowly missed at the end of the season but with Manager James Kinsey and his coaching team in charge, the club looked forward to the new campaign with optimism. The optimism proved well-founded as the club showed its confidence in the players and management team was justified with some remarkable highlights and a run in the league that left them in third place and looking forward to a future in the next level. Their greatest run of success was in the FA Vase where a series of victories against Goole Town, Nostell Miners Welfare, Skelmersdale United, and Northwich Victoria saw them matched against competition favourites big-spending Consett Town. A draw at home saw Wythenshawe visit the North-East for the replay but the FA’s experimental rule-change for the competition saw the team short of six players while their opponents had a full squad to choose from. Even so it was a narrow one-nil defeat that saw their visions of Wembley come to an end. The highlight of the season was a remarkable two-one away victory over high flying National League North stars Curzon Ashton in the Frank Hannah Manchester Senior Cup and their last game before the season was ended by COVID-19 was in the semi-final of the Division One Cup against Sandbach United. The decision to declare the season null and void robbed the club of what looked to be a certain promotion.
Seven out of Seven and then COVID: Season 2020-21 saw a remarkable start to the campaign with seven straight wins and 29 goals scored against just 3 in return. Once again, the season was ended by COVID, and it looked as if once again frustration was the order of the day. However, the club got the news it so richly deserved when the FA made the decision to base promotion on the records of the two curtailed seasons and Wythenshawe Town found themselves starting the new campaign in the Premier Division. There was progress off the field as well at the beginning of 2021, when Chairman Chris Eaton, with the unanimous backing of the members, turned the club into a limited company with a promise of great things to come.
Success and Reward: The 2021-22 season proved to be an outstanding campaign with a run in the FA Vase and a close finish in the League. Victories against Litherland REMYCA, Bacup Borough, Seaham Red Star, Holker OB, Billingham Synthonia, red-hot favourites Consett AFC and Anstey Nomads saw them reach the dizzy heights of an FA Vase Quarter Final at Loughborough Students. However, it proved one hurdle too far and the visions of Wembley were dashed. After the first few weeks Town were never out of the top three places in the league and it went right up to the final day when they were pipped by just a single point. Wythenshawe Town’s achievements didn’t go unrecognised, and they received two great honours at the League Presentation Evening. Manager James Kinsey was rewarded for three years of hard work and dedication when he received the Manager of The Year Award for the Premier Division and the club’s attitude to discipline on the field saw them received the Fair Play Award.
The Summer of 2023 saw Manager James Kinsey depart for Stalybridge Celtic and a new regime at Ericstan Park was announced with the appointment of Rory Fallon and his Management Team.

Match Info: Wythenshawe Town (H), Sat 21st Oct, 3pm KO
Last Saturday saw a frustrating league defeat away at Chadderton, Dave McNabb’s Shakers took the lead through Andy Scarisbrick just before half-time, and then Oli Jepson doubled inside six second-half minutes.
Chadderton pulled it back to 2-1 just before the hour mark, before two late goals gave the side all three points.
We now move on to Saturday afternoon, as we look to set get a league double over Wythenshawe Town, after a dramatic win earlier in the season. Relive the game by clicking on the video below:
You can watch Dave McNabb’s post match interview following the Chadderton game below.

Match report: Bury FC Women vs Mancunian Unity FC
A clinical second half showing by Mancunian Unity hands Bury their first defeat of the season.
The first part of the game saw the two teams share even amounts of possession, with chances from outside of the box at either end being the only form of attempted goal scoring. Shortly after the 30-minute mark, Mitchell crossed the ball into the box from the left-hand side which hit the hand of Rachel Blythe, the referee then awarded Mancunian Unity a penalty for a handball. Payton stepped up to the spot kick and slotted it into the bottom right corner.
Bury were quick to reply though, as just under 10 minutes later Natalie Ainsworth unleashed a 30-yard screamer which dipped over the keeper’s head and into the back of the net.
The first half ended with a goal a piece for either side, and both teams having a relatively even number of chances.
Rain started pouring down at the beginning of the second half as Unity started off very quickly with Payton doubling her tally, after a rebounded shot from Groves’ save in the 47th minute. The away side then began to dominate the game, coming very close to taking the lead with various shots and crosses from close range.
They eventually found their edge as they scored 3 goals in 9 minutes. Their third was put away by Mitchell as she used some tricky footwork to create space in Bury’s box where she then lobbed Groves to make it 3-1. Two minutes later, Unity were causing havoc again as Bamber curled in an effort from outside of the box into the top right corner after a deflected throw landed at her feet. The final goal of the game was scored by Shaw in the 74th minute after Groves attempted to play out of the back, but unfortunately gave the ball away which left Shaw with an open net to make it 5-1.
The match then began to fizzle out as it appeared as though Unity were comfortable with their lead, whilst Bury tightened up their defence to ensure that the deficit didn’t increase. The final whistle blew and Unity picked up all three points at Gigg Lane.
Skipper Dannielle Bailey picked up back-to-back Player of The Match awards as she again showed great leadership and communication skills, even when the game looked bleak.
An obviously disappointing result for the Shakers after showing great form at the start of the season. Bury will attempt to pick themselves back up from this defeat and get another victory against Tranmere on Sunday, whom they have already beaten 3-2 this season.

Matty Williams becomes latest summer signing for Bury FC
Bury FC are delighted to confirm the latest summer signing of defender Matty Williams.
The 26-year-old full-back became the sixth player to sign on the dotted line at Gigg Lane ahead of the 2023/24 season.
Williams is very experienced for the level he was previously a part of the squad that saw Radcliffe promoted to the Northern Premier League Premier Division in 2019.

Men’s U23 Team Entered for 2023/24
We are pleased to inform that an application to enter an U23s team has been accepted for this coming season, with an update on the process below.
As part of the club’s plans to rebuild all of its footballing infrastructure including pathways through from grassroots football to senior men’s and women’s football, we are progressing a men’s U23 team for this coming season.
The establishment of an U23 team is pivotal to our growth as a club over the next few seasons, and we have significant ambitions to progress our senior men’s and women’s teams up the National League System and Women’s pyramid respectively.
We have had an application accepted for the Lancashire Football League where several other Northern Premier League and North West Counties Football League clubs have U23 teams.
Fixtures are yet to be released but we are aware the season will run from 2nd September 2023 to 4th May 2024. Home games will typically be played weekday evenings on a 3G pitch at local venues, depending on availability.
The team will be a mixture of reserves, development players and possibly first team players returning from injury. The team will be fully under the responsibility of the football board and we are currently progressing the process for appointment of a manager for the U23 team.
There will be more developments to announce in the coming weeks and we are now opening the process towards appointing a manager of this team for next season. If you are interested, we would welcome CVs to be sent to chair@buryfc.co.uk before Monday 7th August, 5pm.
Be #ShakersTogether, Be #PartOfIt, Be #BuryFC for 2023/24.

Mental Health First Aiders at Bury Football Club
Bury Football Club has been a central point for the local community for almost 140 years. After fighting through our own battles as a club, we have now been able to further invest in the wellness of our players, staff, supporters and the wider community. From our ever-growing fan-base to our popular recreational and youth teams, Bury FC is about the people and for the people and we now have a freshly formed, dedicated team of Mental Health First Aiders who are here to help signpost you to the support you may need.
Leading this initiative is Tania Jackson, our club’s Safeguarding and Welfare Officer, she is joined by Mark Lomas, Jess Reed, Ben Travis, Samantha Radcliffe and Aaron Wilkinson. Together, they form the core of our Mental Health First Aiders, dedicated to offering assistance and support.
This investment reflects our commitment to fostering an environment where mental health concerns are met with empathy and prompt support, aiming to combat stigma and raise awareness of available resources. It exemplifies Bury Football Club’s commitment to ensuring everyone in our community has access to a supportive network.
By investing in this training, we prioritise individual well-being and align with broader initiatives promoting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. We believe in nurturing an environment where open conversations about mental health are encouraged and practical support is readily accessible. They are not therapists or psychiatrists, but they have undergone training so they can give you initial support and most importantly signpost you to the appropriate support services if required.
We encourage anyone in need to reach out to a member of our Mental Health First Aider team without hesitation. For assistance or enquiries about available platforms, please email buryfcmhfa@gmail.com to connect with one of our designated Mental Health First Aiders, who will guide you appropriately.

Message from Dave McNabb
Dave McNabb has released the following message to supporters:
Good evening Shakers,
I know it’s been a turbulent time over the last couple of days with the events that have unfolded but I wanted to reach out to you all and ask that we all continue to focus on the football, keep driving the team on and try to remain positive.
I’d like to place on record my thanks to Phil and Marcel who brought me into the club. The pair have worked tirelessly in the background and have been a driving force in getting us to where we are today.
As we enter a transition period for the club there will be lots of opinions and thoughts about how we move forward, we must support the board behind the scenes to navigate us though this challenging time and trust the upcoming electoral process will deliver us the right people and structure to continue to propel the club forward.
In the meantime, let’s all do our bit to ensure we achieve our goals and objectives on the pitch this year. Whether that is picking the team, coaching the team, playing staff, volunteers or fans, we all have our roles to play to ensure this season is a success. We have had a very positive start and we couldn’t have achieved what we have so far without you, the fans. The team now needs you more than ever, in your numbers and as loud and proud as ever.
See you tomorrow,
Dave
