Bury FC News

Bury FC values the incredible passion and loyalty of our supporters, whose backing makes Gigg Lane a very special place on matchdays. However, we are concerned by the behaviour of a very small minority whose actions, particularly the throwing of drinks, have caused disruption, safety risks and distress to fellow fans. This behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. It undermines the hard work of the club, the enjoyment of supporters and the reputation of Bury FC. Anyone found respons

After five league wins in a row we’re hopeful that we can make it a round half-dozen as we face Wythenshawe Town for the third time this season. We’ve beaten them twice, and have high hopes of making it three times. Our stunning victory over Chasetown on Saturday knocked them off the top and kept us among the leaders. We’re only one point behind new leaders Avro and have played two matches fewer. The attitude of our players and quality of their football was worthy of way above Tier Eight. To

We are delighted to announce the signing of attacking midfielder Owen Barker. The 20-year-old joins the Shakers after being released by Everton in the summer. He’s progressed through the ranks playing both in U18s Premier League and Premier League 2 for the Toffees. Last season he made 16 appearances for the club, including an appearance off the bench in the EFL Trophy at Accrington and being in the squad for the first team’s trip to Southampton in the EFL Cup. Upon signing for the club, O

We can confirm the signing of defender James Neild. The 24-year-old joins the club after leaving Warrington Rylands in the summer, where he’d been since 2022. He was appointed captain ahead of the 2023/24 season. Neild also has former clubs such as Curzon Ashton, Hyde United, New Mills and Trafford. “Absolutely over the moon to get this move completed, it is a real privilege to play for a club as big as Bury, he said. “I’m really excited to play in front of the fans, and having already w

Everyone at the club was saddened to hear of the passing of another of our former players. Silky midfield general Jimmy Nicholson has sadly passed away at the age of 82. Jimmy was one of rookie manager Bobby Smith’s first signings in December 1973 and he knew that he could trust him, having been a team-mate at Manchester United. Jimmy played 25 games as Smith guided the Shakers to promotion in 1973/1974 season and was also a creative mainstay in midfield at Gigg Lane for the following two seaso

It’s a mouth-watering prospect as the Shakers welcome league leaders Chasetown to Gigg Lane. Our hopes are high after four successive league victories, but the story of the Scholars season so far shows it will be tough. They had a poor start, winning only one and drawing two of their first four games. But they then won five in a row and conceded only one goal in the process. And their victims included then leaders Lower Breck. Our aim will be to break that sequence, and we go into the game f

A club you wish you werent a part of…. For our upcoming fixture, we’re proud to welcome Angels United as our match sponsor — an incredible charity using the power of football to bring comfort, connection, and hope to those who have experienced unimaginable loss. Angels United isn’t just a football team — it’s a family. A safe space. A community where grief is understood without words, where memories are honoured, and where healing happens through shared stories, open arms, and sometimes just a
