Yesterday we released a video talking through the changes at Gigg Lane ahead of our first home game.   We have had some enquiries about not being able to purchase tickets on the day by cash/card in the South stand.  We hope you understand the reasons why we have taken this decision, however, we understand that we need to offer a solution for less able bodied /disabled supporters so we are going to open a turnstile for these people to access on the day.  In addition we would like t

The Shakers have an early opportunity to bounce back from Saturday’s disappointing and rather tame home draw against Irlam when they travel to Gorton to face Abbey Hey on Tuesday. Everyone around Gigg Lane had high hopes for lift-off in the first game on Bury’s new pitch. The Blue and White Army in the South Stand were in good voice, but it turned out to be a frustrating afternoon for them and for manager Dave McNabb. Bury struggled in a sluggish first half in which they went behind tw

The FA Cup defeat at Harborough was a crushing blow, and ended our great run of 21 matches unbeaten in all competitions. But we’ve picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves down, and are all set for more cup action this week. First up are Abbey Hey, with Chadderton to follow in the Isuzu FA Vase at Gigg Lane on Saturday.   The Shakers go into the Abbey Hey game with a squad of players mainly from the Under-23 team. This gives the youngsters an opportunity to shine and provides a bit of a brea

We have to bounce back from Tuesday night’s disappointing draw at Irlam, and especially because a win would take us to the top of the table.   That’s why we need our fans to come out in numbers to get Gigg Lane bouncing!   We are currently third – two points behind Chadderton on top and one behind Ramsbottom United in second. Neither has a league game this weekend, so…Up the Shakers – to the top!!!   The ups and downs of recent results have been frustrating for everyone, but

The festive football continues in Merseyside this Saturday, as we head to The Marine Travel Arena to take on AFC Liverpool. The boys got the result an expectant Boxing Day crowd were wanting, by overcoming Prestwich Heys on Tuesday. Two goals from captain Tom Moore sent home the majority of the 4,833 inside Gigg Lane happy with three points as a late Christmas present. Highlights of that victory are available at our YouTube channel below. The win put some breathing space between u

Hopes were high for a match against St Helens that could have sent the Shakers like a rocket into second position in the league. But, despite the impressive fireworks display in the air around Gigg Lane and plenty of cracking chances for both sides going begging, the Bonfire Night game ended with honours even. Nevertheless, the 1-1 scoreline in a tough game against resolute opponents stretches our unbeaten record to 18 and moves us up into third place. Highlights and post match media is ava

It was three points for Dave McNabb’s Barmy Army on the Road at Adie Moran Park this past weekend as a brace of wonder goals from super sub Conner Comber made sure that all three points came back up Manchester Road to Bury. You can re live all the action from what was a fantastic North west Counties Premier Division battle in our match highlights below. We now have only four games remaining in our league campaign and our eyes are still fully set on promotion to the Northern Premier Le

We face AFC Liverpool tomorrow (7.45pm) as we start a run of three home games in seven days. And we do so in good heart after two great victories. Notching up an impressive 2-1 win against Avro in the Emirates FA Cup Preliminary Round on Saturday after that thumping 7-1 win at Abbey Hey four days earlier. The Shakers took the lead against the Northern Premier League side through Alex Cherera just before half-time. The Oldham side equalised through a free kick late in the second half ju

Wow! Bury go into their FA Cup preliminary round match at Avro on Saturday with confidence sky high after a thumping 7-1 league victory at Abbey Hey on Tuesday.   The Shakers needed a good performance after the tame home draw against Irlam at Gigg Lane last weekend. And they lived up to their nickname with six goals in an amazing second half.   The goal-fest began with a rapid-fire hat-trick in 10 minutes from Reuben Jerome, followed by goals Rustam Stepan (71), Cameron Fogarty (80
