Blocks A to D in the Main Stand will be open for this fixture, with entry via the turnstiles for the Main Stand. The arrangements in this regard are to manage the stewarding costs for this game only, with a smaller than usual crowd anticipated. A main stand kiosk will be open serving hot food

Our First Round Qualifying Izusu FA Vase tie against Maghull will now be played at Gigg Lane on Saturday 24th August, kick-off at 3pm. Following discussions between the clubs, as well as with the FA, Local Authority, and Emergency Services we have agreed to switch the upcoming fixture to Gigg Lane. This game will remain as Maghull being the host club, whilst using functions and procedures in place at Gigg Lane to ensure safe delivery of the fixture. Further details, including ticket sa

We have recently been named the Manchester FA ‘Provider of the Month’, due to the number of new casual playing opportunities established at Bury FC since the turn of the year. From girls only “Wildcats” for 4-9 year olds and “Squad Girls’” for those aged 11 to 14, to our successful “Comets” pan disability sessions and our most recently launched walking football, all groups are benefitting from playing on the 3G pitch at Gigg Lane and have been welcomed into the Bury Football Club family. We

Ahead of Gigg Lane’s biggest fixture for five years, we are delighted to be able to confirm that the Manchester Road End will be also be open for the first time since 2019. Works to the Main Stand and documentation around spectator safety will require further review, and despite the best endeavours, this now cannot take place until after next week’s game. Keen to maximse the number of seats Gigg Lane has to offer for the Play-off Semi-Final, the stadium team in recent weeks were able t

We’d like to congratulate former Football Board Chair & FSSB Board member, Marcel De Matas on his inclusion on the King’s Birthday Honours List. Marcel has received an MBE for his services to football in the town. As football chair, a role which he began in 2021, Marcel led diligently on football-related matters, covering various roles that make the operations side of the club tick. From chairing the football board meetings, all the way through the club to liaising with and assisting in m

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
