We can confirm that Gabriel Johnson has completed a move to Emley AFC. Gabriel made 15 appearances in Shakers colours, scoring once in September vs Stafford Rangers at Gigg Lane. Over recent months, the growing travel demands placed on Gabriel have made it increasingly difficult for him to attend training consistently and arrive on time for matchdays. Following the recent birth of his child, Gabriel understandably expressed a desire to play closer to home to better support his young family.

The frost has beaten us this weekend and Longridge have advised us that the game is to be postponed. Assuming Ramsbottom’s cup game is postponed (they expect it to be but the ref needs to confirm this) our fixture against them on 9th December will be re-arranged. It does leave this date free for both us and Longridge Town, so we are expecting to play tomorrow’s fixture on that date. This is subject to league approval and more details will follow.

We can confirm tomorrow’s NWCFL fixture with FC Isle of Man has been postponed.   The pitch at Gigg Lane remains frozen after another night of sub-zero temperatures.   As noted in our statement last night, an early decision had to be made for this fixture to be considerate to FC Isle of Man’s travel plans for its players, staff and supporters.   A new date will be announced in due course. Match tickets will remain valid for rearranged fixture. View the full article

Tonight’s game at Gigg Lane against Pilkington has been called off as the pitch is waterlogged. Persistent spells of rain throughout the day have put paid to the game, with the ground staff facing a battle to manage the amount of rain, on top of an already saturated playing surface, which left standing water in many areas. Tickets will be held over to the re-arranged game and we will be in touch once we know when that is. View the full article

Once again, the weather has beaten us and this has resulted in a postponement of tonight’s fixture against Ramsbottom United at Gigg Lane. After last week’s freezing temperatures and increased levels in rainfall, with first Storm Isha over the weekend and the incoming Storm Jocelyn from today, has left large volumes of water sat on top of the Gigg Lane turf, after being in good condition only this morning following a dry spell on Monday. An early afternoon inspection was called when th
