We can confirm that Bury Football Club and manager Andy Welsh have agreed to part company. We would like to thank Andy for his hard work and commitment to the club, the players, and it’s volunteers over the past three and a half years.

Following the conclusion of today’s fixture against Darlaston Town, a post-match incident resulted in a number of cards being shown. Louis Isherwood was shown a red card, James Neild received a yellow card, and First Team coach Craig Carney also saw red. Darlaston Town’s Kieran Cook and Leo Gill were shown red cards, along with a member of their coaching staff. We will await the referee’s report before deciding on how we proceed. Thank you for your continued support.

There was a short delay in the game restarting towards the end of the 90 minutes on Saturday due to three people attempting to enter the playing area. They were stopped from getting onto the pitch by stewards. Two of them did not co-operate and took some time to be restrained and removed. We have a number of eye witness statements, as well as video evidence, and are conducting our own investigation. We will act to protect the club and everyone working at the club from this behaviour.
