Volunteers Nominated at Manchester FA Awards
We are delighted to confirm two of our volunteers have been nominated at the Manchester FA Grassroots Awards.
Sam Harman has been nominated in the category of the Manchester FA Bobby Moore Award whilst Casey Lynchey has been nominated in the category of the Manchester FA Lioness Award.
The prestigious Bobby Moore Award is reserved for the volunteer who best represents the heart and soul of volunteering in grassroots football, whilst the Lioness Award recognises an individual or group who has created new opportunities in the female game and has had a big impact in their community, on and off the pitch.
Sam is the club’s Volunteer Co-Ordinator, she manages our large and growing band of volunteers to help out in various roles in fundraising and administration as well as various roles on Matchdays. She has taken responsibility for ensuring that we have sufficient volunteers for such roles as security, merchandising, half-time draw ticket sales, programme sales. Sam has also taken on a role of encouraging new volunteers and retaining our valuable existing volunteers.
Whilst Casey has been an active member as the Head of Women’s Football on the Football Board of Bury FC. She has taken responsibility for the creation and administration of up to seven Bury FC Women’s Team (including our promotion-winning Bury FC Women’s First Team) leads in the club’s participation in #HerGameToo and has taken responsibility for ensuring a positive matchday experience for numerous excited mascots. She’s recently been appointed as the club’s Community Development Officer, a new role in which she looks after all community aspects of the club including the new artificial pitch.
CEO, Neil Sears commented on the nominations: “We are delighted to have Bury FC represented by Sam and Casey at these prestigious awards. To reach the final 3 in each category is a tremendous accomplishment and fully deserved achievement by both women.
“Sam and Casey embody everything that Bury FC is about, Casey recently was appointed as our community development officer as well as her continued work being Head of Women’s football. Casey has worked tirelessly and also commits many hours of volunteering to the football club.
“Matchdays simply wouldn’t happen without Sam Harman, she is passionate and leads a large team on a matchday and is always there for many volunteers providing support whenever it’s needed.
“We as a club will be in attendance at the awards hopefully watching Sam and Casey bring home the awards.”
The ceremony will be held at the Sheridan Suite in Manchester on November 15th.

Vote Results: General Season Ticket Refund Policy
As well as holding our recent kit vote, FSSB members also voted on our general season ticket refund policy.
We had 918 ballots returned from 1,715 individual emails issued.
91% of voters approved the general policy for season ticket refunds. 586 voted in favour and 59 were against. 273 abstained, a larger than usual number representing members who are not season ticket holders and did not vote on this issue.
This was also reflected in the preferential vote where a cash refund was the least popular option, with only 62 people ranking it as their first choice option. A huge 49% of voters offered to waive any form of refund as their first choice option, which won the vote once second, third and fourth options were also factored in. There was little demand for a discount on next season’s season ticket, slightly more than the requests for a cash refund, and some support for free entry to play-off games.
We will review these results and assess what we do next. We are not avoiding cash refunds where they are requested but it is heartwarming to see that the vast majority of over 90% of supporters are not interested in a refund at all, and certainly not a cash refund. This gives us the predictable financial security we need heading into the close season, after what has been an extremely damaging month for the club’s revenues.
Running the Gigg Lane stadium is a significant financial burden and the terrible weather this winter has cost us many tens of thousands of pounds in maintenance fees and lost revenues through postponements. Forcing the club to play behind closed doors would have put the club under significant financial duress again if supporters had not indicated that they were happy to waive refunds, and we would like to thank all of you for your generosity of spirit. It is clear that this club belongs to you.
We do not expect the weather to play a part in future with a 3G pitch in place. It’s critical to our progress. We do, however, need to ensure that supporter behaviour does not affect the club’s future. We are continuously being scrutinised by the Manchester FA for the conduct of our supporters. Should any further allegations arise, we are putting ourselves at risk of further severe sanctions, which really do threaten our existence.
Despite repeated issues, we still struggle to convince a very small number of people of the consequences of poor fan behaviour and their personal responsibility for it. We know, however, that most Bury fans do understand and we remain extremely grateful for your support in the many forms you provide.
In the same ballot FSSB members also voted on our away kit for the coming two seasons, you can read more about that here.

These will be available for pre-order from Monday 22nd April at the Hope+Glory Bury FC Online Store.

Welcome to Bury: Ben Hockenhull
We are delighted to announce the signing of defender Ben Hockenhull.
The 22-year-old joins us after leaving Tranmere Rovers in the summer.
Ben came through the youth ranks at Manchester United before signing a pro deal at Brentford and spent 2 years there before moving to Tranmere in 2022.
Spent most of his time at Tranmere on loan at Warrington Rylands, Chorley, Spennymoor and Southport making 20 appearances in the Northern Premier League and 20 in the National League North.
Following his final loan at Southport, Ben started the final three games of the League 2 season for Tranmere.
Upon signing he said: “I’m delighted to join a big club like Bury. I can’t wait to show the fans what I can do and help the team try and win the league, taking the club in a direction back to where it belongs.”
He joins the Shakers to provide competition in the centre back position now that Efe is leaving the club.
Manager, Dave McNabb added: “A brilliant addition following on from Efe leaving the club. I’ve watched Ben a lot playing in the NPL and NLN and have always been very impressed.
“A tall, strong and powerful centre half who is very excellent defensively. He’s quick and very comfortable in possession with the ability to play out from the back and help build attacks from deep.”

The 20-year-old joins the club after leaving NPL side Witton Albion.

Welcome to Bury: Lewis Alessandra
We are delighted to announce the signing of forward Lewis Alessandara
The 35-year-old joins the club after playing for Hyde United this season.
Born in Heywood, he came through the ranks of local side Roach Dynamos before joining Oldham Athletic.
Morecambe, Plymouth, Notts County & Carlisle United are also amongst his former clubs.
He made 43 appearances for Hyde United last season in the Northern Premier League.
Manager, Dave McNabb commented on the signing:
“Lewis Alessandra is a player who I’m sure many of the fans will be familiar with having spent much of his career in the football league. Lewis has had an unbelievable career and will add some much needed experience to the squad.
“A forward player who is extremely intelligent with his movement and a real eye for goal. I was very impressed with his hunger and desire to play for Bury and fulfil an ambition that almost came true around 9 years ago.”

Welcome to Bury: Mitch Allen
We are delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Mitch Allen.
The 24-year-old joins the club after leaving Prescot Cables earlier this month.
He started out in the Stoke City academy aged 8 progressing right through the ranks to their Under 18’s side.
After leaving Stoke in July 2018 he went into play for Stratford Town, Buxton & Prescot Cables where he spent four years until recently.
Mitch was apart of the team that won the playoffs with Cables last season as well as winning goalkeeper of the season in the NPL West.
He will provide cover and competition for Tom Stewart. Tom has some work commitments coming up over the next few weeks which will mean he misses a few games, so it was imperative that we had a top class goalkeeper to provide cover.
Mitch told buryfc.co.uk after signing: “Delighted to be signing for Bury, such a massive club with great ambitions, can’t wait to get going and to hopefully help the club gain promotion.”
Manager, Dave McNabb added: “Mitch has proved himself to be one of the best keepers in the NPL over the last few years. He’s an exceptional shot stopper with the ability to make match winning saves. Mitch’s distribution is another one of his outstanding qualities with the ability to turn defence to attack in the blink of an eye.”

Welcome to our new Bury FC Website!
The launch of a new website for a new start.
Since the results of the amalgamation vote were confirmed in May, with a resounding percentage of the support wanting to see football being played out of Gigg Lane in 2023/24 and following yesterday’s announcement that the name Bury Football Club can be used also, the media groups across the two separate entities have come together for a ‘New Start’ for football in the town of Bury.
A fundamental part of spreading this message will be centred on our media output, with this website being a base for all of this. Wherever you are following from, make sure you keep it here for all your club updates.
In readiness for the switch of name back to Bury Football Club, we are delighted to be back on the familiar buryfc.co.uk domain.
There will be further updates to all areas in the coming weeks, where we will add access to season tickets, match fixtures and tables, on-line shop, history, contacts pages and membership logins. Please be patient while these changes are put into action. We look forward to bringing these to you as the new season draws closer.
On social media, the teams have also worked hard to secure previous account details, which in some cases had either become dormant or unrecoverable post-2019. We have utilised these where possible and brought a consistent approach to the account names, with our men’s and women’s sides represented separately, where this works for covering each respective matchday output.
You can connect with us across all of our social media channels below.

Women’s FA Cup tie to take place at Gigg Lane
After last weekend’s FA Cup tie was called off against Radcliffe Women at Unsworth Cricket Club, we can confirm the rearranged tie will take place at Gigg Lane this Sunday (8th October). 2pm kick-off.
Entry will be £3 for adults and £1 for concessions, fans will be seated in the Main Stand.
Turnstiles will be open from 1pm and it will be pay on the day only, no pre-sale tickets will be available.
Manager Jason Jarrett told us, “We are really looking forward to welcoming Radcliffe in this FA Cup game and even more so now that it will be played at Gigg Lane. This is a massive opportunity for both teams to play in the oldest cup competition in the World and to showcase their abilities to a wider audience on a bigger stage.
“After a positive pre-season, we’ve had a challenging start to the league campaign. As a coaching team, we have been trying to challenge the girls with new ideas and formations to improve us collectively and individually but this takes time and it resulted in us having a tough start to the season but we also know that we deserved to take much more from most of the games and have only narrowly missed out on points against teams like Tranmere Rovers, Blackburn Community and West Didsbury. Playing on a bigger pitch will hopefully suit our style of play and I’m sure the professional surroundings of Gigg Lane will inspire our girls to play to the best of their abilities.
“In our last performance, a confident and dominant 4-1 league win over Blackpool, we started to show what we are capable of and we will be looking to build on that result this weekend, plus with a couple of new additions over the next few weeks we believe we are heading in the right direction.”
Casey Lynchey, head of women’s football at Bury FC added, “We would like to thank everyone involved in getting this game played at Gigg Lane this weekend. Both teams were disappointed not to play last week and will be looking forward to the prospect of facing National League opposition, in the next round, whilst also showing what a vast array of talented female footballers we have in the borough. I’m sure this will be a really entertaining match that will be played in the right spirit and we would urge people to come down and show their support for both teams.”
We’d like to see as many fans at Gigg Lane as possible on Sunday afternoon for what is a big FA Cup tie!

Women’s Match Preview: Salford City (A) Weds 21st Aug 7:30pm kick-off
Our Women’s first team start the season tonight against Salford City Lionesses. In the opening game of the season the girls will look to start the campaign under Jason Jarrett as they mean to go on.
Last week Salford were beaten 1-0 in a tough away opener against Tranmere Rovers. Salford endured a tough 2023/24 season finishing 10th in the North West Women’s Regional League (same division as Bury) picking up just 7 points fewer than Wednesday’s opponents, Bury.
In the sides most recent meeting it was Bury who came out on top with a convincing 4-0 victory in April in what was the side’s final match of the season. Early in the season, in Bury’s home fixture, Salford produced a second-half masterclass to earn a 5-0 win.
Amongst the summer signings to strengthen squad depth ahead of the new campaign include 16-year-old, latest arrival Leah Costello Eastwood, former Tottenham Hotspur defender Jordan Harding and 16-year-old forward Natalie Ainsworth who has looked like a confident goal scorer in pre-season.
Why not come down and support the girls at St Ambrose Barlow RC High School where this match against Salford will be taking place.
We hope to see you there tonight for what should be an interesting fixture that we hope Bury can come out on top of.

Xcede IT confirmed as club’s IT partner
Bury Football Club are delighted to confirm Xcede IT as the club’s IT service provider.
The company specializes in IT Support, Cyber Security, Microsoft 365 & Cloud, Backup, Telephony and Connectivity.
It was founded by a team with multiple years experience of working in IT, who were passionate about providing a personal and responsive service to their clients.
The group had seen how companies already in this field were causing more problems than they were solving, and whose approach was based on sales rather than solutions, they saw that the key to a successful relationship was creating a proper partnership based on trust, delivering solutions and services that work for their clients.
Xcede IT Director & Bury fan, Dave Coulson said “We have been helping Bury FC for a while now, and so formalising this partnership was the perfect next step.
“Implementing Microsoft 365 for email was key to allowing Bury FC to be heard again as a club and the setup and configuration of high-speed internet and secure wi-fi connectivity has been crucial in moving the stadium forward.
“As a long time Bury FC supporter, this is an ideal partnership and one that we are looking forward to developing further over the years.”
