With only a few days to go until the season begins, we can confirm our full fixture list for the 2024/25 NWCFL Premier Division season. The first month’s fixtures were published at the start of July, which sees us travel to Squires Gate on Saturday (27th July), before Padiham away on the following Tuesday (30th). August sees us take on Irlam (h) for the first time on our new 3G surface (subject to any FA Cup replays), before a trip to newly-promoted Abbey Hey (a), and then welcome AFC

One of the stars of the season has without a doubt been Darius Palma. He’s arguably been our top performer so far.   Unfortunately, the shoulder injury he sustained first at Wythenshawe Town, and then more seriously at Padiham requires surgery. Paying for this privately should see him back by January, but it’s unlikely we will see him back this season without private medical care.   The cost of the surgery is £8,000, which is way beyond the entire season’s medical care budget f

We are delighted to be bringing back the hugely popular Gigg Lane Funfair & Fireworks display on the 3rd November 2023. There will be pop up artisan food and drink stalls providing refreshments and a funfair for all the family before the spectacular fireworks display inside Gigg Lane. This year we have 150 premium tickets for the 1885 Suite.  These are available on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.  Please note that there is a 50p booking fee on all tickets. Gates open

A good number of season tickets were collected at Saturday’s game against Golcar United but we have a number of opportunities this week for you to collect if you weren’t able to do so.   Please remember that cards are only available if purchased prior to Sunday 2nd July 2023. All season tickets purchased after that date will be digital ONLY.   These can be picked up at the Gigg Lane Ticket Office on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday this week from 10am until 12pm. Next Saturday a

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.

Following a midday pitch inspection, tonight’s fixture at home to Barnoldswick Town has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. A new date will be confirmed in due course, and tickets will be valid for the rearranged fixture. View the full article

Following a review of the pitch at Park Road ahead of tomorrow’s planned fixture against Cheadle Town, the surface has been declared unfit and the game has been postponed. The weather has beaten the efforts of the Park Road ground staff, with frozen pitch affecting attempts to prepare the surface for this weekend. A new date will be confirmed in due course, and purchased tickets will be refunded via Cheadle Town shortly.   Next Up: Ramsbottom United With us all thirs
