In a season of new starts and reconnecting with football in our town, the return of a Boxing Day fixture at Gigg Lane places another tick in the box of all Bury supporters, as we welcome Prestwich Heys for a local derby clash this festive period. With the ground left to ruin from 2019, the roar of a Gigg Lane crowd on Boxing Day went with it. And all who have been involved with its return will no doubt be ‘walking down the the Manny Road’ with beaming smiles this year to witness what is set

After the big one, we have another local derby against neighbours Prestwich Heys and the prospect of going into the New Year still at the top of the league. Victory against Heys would bring our points tally over the Christmas period to seven, but we can be sure they won’t go down without a fight. As we’ve seen again and again, teams come to Gigg Lane determined to give us a tough battle. For Heys, a local derby makes the challenge even greater. It’s disappointing that we don’t go

Home victories over Stockport Town in the league and Burscough in the Isuzu FA Vase second qualifying round take our unbeaten run to 17 games. And that’s not to mention third place in the NW Counties league table with games in hand.   It all provides an excellent springboard for our dive into the deep waters of the game against supreme rivals Radcliffe.   But the Shakers made many fans shake with fear by conceding a late, late goal in the one-sided game against Town on Tuesday. Rus

Following a bye in the last round of the Macron Cup, on Saturday we travel to near-neighbours Ramsbottom United in the second round of the competition. It’s back-to-back cup matches for Dave McNabb’s side after Tuesday’s league fixture with Pilkington was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. McNabb is taking a full squad up the A56 to take on the Rams, but could look to introduce players from our Under 23s squad who are also available for selection. Ramsbottom come into the game

The final league game of the season is upon us, and albeit possibly a slim chance, the league title is still up for grabs as we head the short distance north along the A56 to take on the Rams this Saturday. The Shakers faithful sucked up the available tickets in their numbers, with an anticipated crowd of 2,000 descending on the Harry Williams Riverside Stadium, which is one of three locations that the league trophy could be arriving at as the league season comes to its conclusion. The

There is no respite for the Shakers and the games keep coming! We follow our cracking 3-0 Emirates FA Cup victory at Blyth Spartans on Saturday by taking on local rivals Ramsbottom United at the Harry Williams Stadium in Rammy on Tuesday evening (kick-off 7.45pm). At Blyth, second-half goals from Alex Cherera, Bebeto Gomes and Connor Pye saw off a team who have previously enjoyed many Cup successes and laid to rest a nearly 30-year-old ghost, by avenging Spartans two-nil victory at Gigg Lan

This is not a drill. There are only three games left of our regular North West Counties Premier Division fixture list. We start the final three this coming Thursday evening as we, finally, host Ramsbottom United under the Gigg Lane lights after three previous postponements due to weather in the first of two fixtures against our near neighbours in 10 days. This will be the first time that the Shakers and The Rams will have EVER met in a league encounter in both clubs histories so it has

We go again! And we try again, for the third time in fact, as we have the visit of Ramsbottom United this Tuesday under the Gigg Lane lights. Dave McNabb’s squad will be keen to put matters right after a disappointing week which only yielded a single point from our three games, and set us up against it in the battle for top spot. But battle they must, and with fans returning to the stands, the players won’t be short of encouragement following the frustration of having to miss out on tw

As we all sat at home twiddling our thumbs this weekend after another cancellation, we watched the thaw slowly take hold and pitches across the north-west started to breathe again. Hopefully that is the end of the freezing conditions as we rocket towards the end of January and look to resume battle in the league. We will be keeping a watchful eye however, over the incoming weather in the hours leading up to the game. Head to social media ( X / Facebook ) or right here at buryfc.co.uk for a
