Bury FC News

Bury Football Club is extremely proud to announce the launch of ‘Junior Shakers’, our brand new club membership scheme for our youngest fans.   We would like to thank everyone who entered our recent badge design competition, we had lots of fantastic entries, and it was difficult to choose one! Congratulations goes to 10 year old Harry Noone whose design was selected to be the official badge of our Junior Shakers. This has been digitally enhanced and sent to our manufacturers at Hope &

We recently launched our Junior Shakers scheme for our youngest fans. This weekend we proudly welcomed some of our first members to the stadium to receive their gift pack, meet our mascot, Peeler, and take up the opportunity to be mascots for our Men’s and Women’s teams.   Meanwhile we continue to offer local grassroots football teams the opportunity to be flag-bearers at our matches and you may well have seen them taking penalty kicks at half time on the pitch – a great experience for th

Last week, the club were sad to bring news of the passing of long-term supporter Kenny Hindle. Over 70 years a follower of Bury Football Club and a familiar figure in the stands to many. Kenny was like all of us back in 2019. Heart-broken. And at a loss as to how to move forward with such a big piece of his life being taken away. His comments to media outlets that visited Gigg Lane at the time, resonated with the wider public who had been drawn to the subject of the club’s battle for surviv

The time has come to choose your away colours for the 2024/26 seasons. Our current policy is to rotate kits every two years, to reward supporters for buying replica kits and keep them up-to-date for longer. As we started the 2023/24 season with two new kits, home and away, we need to break this rule just once so that home and away kits are changed in alternate years. The current away kit will be kept as a third kit. This means we are now choosing a new away kit for next season, an

Buy This Week If You Want A Card If you want to get a printed, season ticket card in your hands for the start of the season you need to be quick and buy this week. The deadline is 1st July. We will send the cards to print after the 1st July and have them ready to collect at Gigg Lane before the season starts and ahead of home games. If you haven’t got time to collect it, or lose it,

Lee Bracey will be our guest for the AFC Liverpool fixture tomorrow evening, James Bentley looks back on his career. Lee Bracey arrived at Gigg Lane from Halifax Town in the late summer of 1993, following Gary Kelly’s injury sustained after John McGinlay’s vicious assault on him in the first round of the League Cup versus Bolton, which Bury won 2-0.   Choosing not to continue with Craig Nixon, who replaced Kelly from the bench, or amateur Paul Collings, who played the first

Mark Carter is our guest for tonight’s fixture with South Liverpool, Pete Cullen looks back on his career. It was surely one of the best ever £6,000 that Bury Football Club spent when they paid that modest amount to bring Mark Carter north to Gigg Lane in September 1993.  Spike was already approaching 33 at the time but having been introduced to the professional ranks relatively late in his career, he certainly grasped his perhaps unexpected chance.   Starting out on the books of Liv

Mark Patterson will be our guest for our FA Vase fixture against Maghull tomorrow, James Bentley looks back on his career.   It’s no overstatement to say that Mark Patterson saved Bury Football Club when he was sold to Bolton in January 1991.   Close season spending had reached previously unprecedented levels just six months before, when a combined £430,000 was spent on John McGinlay, Colin Greenall, Roger Stanislaus and Ronnie Mauge. When things started going from adequate

Tony Rigby is our guest for Monday’s Bank Holiday clash with Cheadle Town, James Bentley looks back on his career. Ask a Bury fan between the ages of about 38 and 50 who their favourite player is and it’s a certainty that a significant proportion will answer ‘Tony Rigby’.   He is their Greg Farrell, the skilful maestro with a football, the silky maverick who scored some of the greatest goals they ever saw from the time when football meant everything to them – more than their school w
