Following the recent incidents of anti-social behaviour, we have brought in some additional safety measures for our home games under the advice of the police. We acknowledge that almost all supporters are well-behaved and some will feel these are unnecessary measures. However, even standing near the touchline waiting for the game to finish makes stewarding harder and identifying genuine troublemakers difficult to identify in a crowd. We are faced with ever more serious sanctions for cr

We are pleased to report that as a result of the work undertaken before and after the play-off final against Wythenshawe Town, the club will face no further sanctions. The suspended sanction put in place last year still remains a concern for us, and it does not expire until the end of September.   The club had been charged with failing to ensure spectators and/or its supporters (and anyone purporting to be its supporters or followers) conducted themselves in an orderly fashion under FA

We are delighted to confirm the permanent signing of Djavan Pedro from Buxton FC for an undisclosed fee, subject to FA approval. DJ joined the Shakers on loan last month, making his debut in the away fixture at Colne. He has scored seven goals in his opening nine games.

DJ has settled into the s

Bury Football Club are delighted to announce a collaboration with Rita Rolton the bucket hat aficionado from A Little Red Original. Rita individually hand paints every hat and makes them whilst her son Tom is having respite care. The venture helps Rita financially and mentally, giving her a break to tap into her creative side. Inspired by a passion for the Manchester Indie scene the hats are a nod to the Stone Roses. We have commissioned a limited amount of these hats and the

We, as a club, understand what Morecambe fans have been going through. When it happened to us, we each processed the situation differently, but ultimately it had a huge impact on us both emotionally and as a club. Thankfully, we are now in a much stronger place, and we’re delighted to see that Morecambe’s struggles have been eased with the takeover by their new owners, Panjab Warriors. In 2019, after Bury FC’s expulsion, we received a great deal of support and advice from across the football

We are delighted to announce we picked up two awards at the North West Counties awards dinner in Blackpool on Saturday night. Our matchday programme, The Shakers, won the Premier Division Programme of the Year award. A big thank you to programme editor, Chris Saville, and the team who contribute to pieces each week to make it best in the division last season. Our thanks also extends to our programme producer FootiePrint for meeting the often late deadlines, flexibility in dealing with freq

This season, we start in the Isuza FA Vase at the First Round Qualifying stage and

The club is sad to report that Saturday’s game will be Efe Ambrose’s last for the club.   Arriving on a wave of publicity, we were delighted to welcome Efe to Gigg Lane over the summer, he became an instant hit with the fans and the wider footballing community to see him continuing in the game.   The former Celtic player, 35, who had gained experience in the Champions League and secured 4-league titles north of the border as well as international recognition with Nigeria securing t

Bury Football Club is extremely saddened to share the passing of Emily Wilcock, aged 27.   Emily joined to play within the recreational setup two and a half years ago and was an very proud and committed member of the setup, barely missing a training session, taking part in extra summer sessions and attending social events with the squad.   A member of the ‘Greens’, one of a number of our teams competing in the local recreational leagues, who won League 2 of the Greater Mancheste
