The trip to Colne follows hard on the heels of last Tuesday’s visit to Charnock Richard, and we’re hoping the outcome is similar. What a treat it was for the Shakers and our fans. We celebrated the return to League action with an away win under lights on a wet and skiddy pitch – and with a clean sheet.   It was a good start for goalkeeper Russell Saunders – who was drafted in at the last minute as Mitch Allen and his partner welcomed their new arrival – Once again congrats to Mitc

After 1547 days without competitive football, Bury FC finally returned to league action on Saturday. And what an occasion it was – dispatching a competitive Glossop North End side 5–1 to take a very early position at the top of the NWCFL Premier Division. We cannot thank the fans enough for cheering us on to victory in the historic occasion at Gigg Lane, with the attendance of 5,451 – a record for this division! The first away game arrives just three days later at Colne, who suffered a

A win for interim managers, Leon Mike and Stephen Sheil, on Tuesday night was welcome relief after a turbulent start to the week which saw Andy Welsh and management team leave the club following the loss to Lower Breck last Saturday. The management duo were keen to stress the importance of the senior players in the group who stepped up to help with preparations for the win on the Fylde coast, you can hear their interview after the game below. One of those senior players put his words i

We welcome Colne to Gigg Lane determined to bounce back from our disappointing start to a month which may well prove vital in our bid for promotion.   That 3-1 defeat at Litherland REMYCA was hard to take, but hey! – football’s always about a new start with the next match.   We beat Colne 2-0 at their place at the end of October, with second-half goals from Ben Hockenhull and Connor Pye. Since then, we’ve won two and lost two and Colne have won two, drawn one and lost one.  

It was FA Cup heartbreak for The Shakers on Tuesday as we were on the wrong side of 2-0 scoreline in what was a tough encounter against a very strong Stalybridge side. We are back into league action this Saturday and Dave and his Team will be looking to right the wrongs from Tuesday night as we travel to Cheshire to face Congleton. The Bears almost won promotion last season so we know that it will once again be another tough game against a strong side, which will be followed just 48 hours lat

We look forward to welcoming the travelling players, staff, volunteers and fans from the Isle of Man to Gigg Lane this coming Saturday for what is set to be a tough challenge as Dave McNabb’s men look to bounce back from last weekend’s loss in South Manchester.   The inquest on what went wrong at the Step Places Stadium has been thorough and honest. We hope to see the fruits of all that heart-searching in this match and the rest of the season.   With that in mind, we’re still up th
