Next up Mossley – long-established and highly successful in our region’s non-league circles. And the pressure’s on, following Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Sporting Khalsa. As manager Dave McNabb said, it’s a tough league. But we hope the bounce-back will be swift and decisive. We were on top for much of the game in Willenhall, but the ball just wouldn’t go into the net. As a result, we’ve dropped down to second in the league, three points behind new leaders Lower Breck and just one in front of a

We’re into our final two games before Christmas, as we welcome Mossley to Gigg Lane. Unfortunately, our game last Saturday at Shifnal Town was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. As the search for a new manager continues, it’s expected that Tim Lees will be in interim charge for this fixture. The reverse fixture at Seel Park in October saw us fall to a 2-1 defeat, so we’re very much hoping for better results on home soil. In Opposition – Mossley Mossley have won two from their last five g

Back-to-back away games for the Shakers as we travel to Nantwich Town on Tuesday evening. We head into this one off the back of Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Bootle. Bury were forced to settle for a point after DJ Pedro’s equaliser and a missed penalty. Ben Hodkinson had given the hosts the lead before halftime, but despite second-half pressure, the Shakers couldn’t find a winner in Dave McNabb’s return to his former club. The Shakers are looking for their first away win in four games, with the las

Our trip to Newcastle Town begins the busy Christmas period of four games in 14 days. Tim Lees will lead the team to Stoke on Trent this weekend, as it was confirmed this week, he will lead the Shakers for the rest of the season. The Shakers picked up a 2-1 victory last time out against Mossley, taking an early lead before being pegged back in an end-to-end first half. Chances came at both ends, with Shakers repeatedly going close. Persistence paid off late on as Gavin Massey’s close-range head

This is it: the real deal. We’ve strengthened our squad, had a strong pre-season, and hammered South Liverpool in the Emirates FA Cup last weekend. So we go into league action full of confidence – and with good reason. There’s every indication that we’re ready to compete at this level. The pre-season was designed to test our credentials. It did, and we more than survived. Now it’s the real thing, and we’re all set to take on teams more experienced, better organised and more powerful than tho

Shakers.. there are only 3 games to go! The final month of the season starts now As this Saturday we play host to Padiham. We need you down in numbers, loud and proud! Our run of 12 successive victories, along with clean sheets in every one of our last six matches has been superb. But on their own they win us nothing. The only way we can be sure of that league title is to win every match. If you’ve been to Gigg Lane on a match day, you know what a fantastic atmosphere there is. If you have

We head to Broadhurst Park, home of FC United of Manchester, this coming Tuesday 16th April to take on Padiham in our penultimate game of the season. Kick-off is 7.45pm. The top-of-the-table really opened up over weekend, making our game in hand over the top two a crucial one. Two wins will win us the league. We want you there to cheer the lads on. As indicated in our release yesterday, we are now able to share more details on how it will work. Tickets & Admission Tickets

This past Saturday The Shakers had their first taste of defeat in competitive action since returning to Gigg Lane in a 1-3 defeat to Chadderton. An amazing crowd of 4115 were present and in fine voice as Andy Welsh’s charges went ahead after 25 minutes courtesy of a Darius Palma penalty. Bury defended their lead well, with both sides having chances but neither capitalising until the 86th minute when Chadderton grabbed an equaliser in the form of a wonder strike from their skipper Jord

It was all-square at Squires Gate over the weekend in a high-scoring affair at a sold out Brian Addison Stadium with each side finding the back of the net four times and both sides leaving their first game of the season with a point. Goals for the Shakers came from Iyrwah Gooden, Bryan Ly and Rustam Stepans who all opened their club accounts as the spoils were shared following a baking day in the sun on the coast.
