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

Much planning has already gone into preparations for our trip to Clitheroe on Easter Monday, as excitement builds for what promises to be a fantastic occasion for Bury supporters. Drawing on the hosts’ experience from their sell-out fixture against York City in December, every effort is being made to deliver a memorable Festival of Football, while ensuring a safe and secure environment for all fans making the journey. The match will be all-ticket, with no sales available on the day. Supporte

Hyde United have provided the following information for Bury FC supporters ahead of our Bank Holiday Monday fixture. The match is not all ticket, but there will be formal segregation with an appropriate level of stewarding in place. Bury FC supporters for the standing area should enter the ground via the away turnstile, now accessed from the left-hand side of the Leisure Centre car park on Walker Lane. This will lead onto the Leigh Street and Tinkers Passage terracing, where there will be a w

Ahead of the visit of Witton Albion this Saturday, we would like to confirm the following arrangements for supporters attending the match. While this fixture is not all-ticket, we strongly recommend purchasing in advance if you wish to secure a place in a specific area of the ground. Availability in certain sections cannot be guaranteed on the day. At the time of writing (Thursday afternoon), the South Stand is sold out and fewer than 500 seats remain in the Main Stand. Main Stand tickets wi

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
