The Dave McNabb era began at Gigg Lane this week as the former Warrington and Bootle manager became The Shakers 44th permanent manager. In Dave’s first game in charge on Tuesday night we took on FC Isle of Man and extended our run of wins to three games. The team put on a resolute performance with the backline keeping second clean sheet in three games and Gaz Peet finding the back of the net for the first time this season. The fans were in fine voice and 2909 of the Shakers faithful ga

It’s just 10 days since our last trip to Surrey Street in Glossop, this time it’s the turn of the Frank Hannah Manchester Premier Cup.   Dave McNabb confirmed in his post-match interview (below) on Saturday that a squad of Under 23s will make up the squad, under the management of Leon Mike & Stephen Sheil. It gives McNabb an opportunity to be able to see the younger players in the club.   Saturday saw an emphatic 7-0 away win at Barnoldswick (highlights below), which saw six di

Dave McNabb’s 50th game in charge of the Shakers came with late drama at the weekend, with a 1-1 draw away at FC Isle of Man. Ben Hockenhull equalised in the sixth minute of stoppage time, after Sean Doyle opened the scoring for the Ravens 11 minutes into the second half. The fans were in fine voice in the Manx’s capital, after hundreds made the trip across the Irish Sea for the second time this calendar year. Luckily with no delays this time!

After the trials and tribulations of a trip to the Isle of Man last weekend, the lads earned a well-deserved break at the start of the week ahead of this weekend’s visit of Glossop North End to Gigg Lane. Manager Dave McNabb recognised the team’s efforts in first of all getting to the Manx island, before putting in a special effort to come away with a valuable 2-0 win and a brace from Sam Burns. In adverse conditions, you find out a lot about who’s around you. Whether that be on the pi

It’s the day we’ve all been waiting for – men’s football returning to Gigg Lane for the first time in four years!   By the time Saturday comes around it will have been 1,547 days since Bury FC’s last competitive fixture at Gigg Lane – a 1-1 draw against Port Vale. Jordan Rossiter scored the last competitive goal that day, but who will score the next? Hopefully we’ll find out this weekend…   This match information pack is designed to offer you all the information you need ahead of w

We need noisy fans in numbers to get behind the Shakers as they face Glossop North End in their 21st match of the season. Yes, we are indeed, still the mighty Shakers. Yes, we are unbeaten. And yes, we did beat North End 4-2 away three weeks ago.   But the 5-1 win at Longridge on Saturday flattered us. Without Mitch Allen’s heroics in saving two out of three penalties it might have been a very different story.   The 900 fans who made the journey up the M6 will have been delig

There’s a great opportunity for the unbeaten Shakers to do some more FA Cup shaking when we meet Harborough Town from the Southern League Premier Division this Saturday at the final qualifying stage of this season’s Emirates FA Cup.   We’re the last Step Five team still in the tournament, and are up against a team from Step Three. But we beat Radcliffe from Step Two, and the prize this time is a place in the First Round Proper. So come on, you Shakers!   It would be understandable

Irlam it is this weekend and our last game of the season outside of the Borough of Bury. With six of the last nine games at Gigg Lane, and the other two away games at Prestwich and Ramsbottom, we head out onto the M60 and into Salford for the last time in the regular season. It is a 3pm kick-off at the RG3 Digitial Stadium this Saturday. Last weekend, we grabbed the win against a tough Lower Breck side on a difficult pitch. That said, late chances went begging for Player of the Month Andy S

We face yet another tough test with this visit to Irlam, but go into the game buoyed up by a stunning 4-0 performance against Colne.   It was a day on which our skill was backed up by grit and determination. Everyone – not least manager Dave McNabb – was embarrassed by the abysmal midweek performance against Litherland REMYCA. So we’re back on track for our vital December run of fixtures.   We were without suspended Ben Hockenhull, but were boosted by the last-minute signing of tou
