Bury won 1-0 this afternoon away at FC St Helens, Defender Aaron Chalmers spoke to the club to give us his thoughts on the game. Aaron Chalmers: “Yeah, very tough. The pitch didn’t help us at all, to be fair. You can’t really play football on that pitch. But this time of the season, it’s not about the performances, it’s more about just the results. We’ve come away with 1-0, the Keep have made three or four top-class saves, to be fair. So, could have been more, should have been, but 1-0 will ta

Bury won 1-0 over FC St Helens as their charge for the title continues, Manager Dave McNabb spoke to the club to give us his thoughts on the game. Dave McNabb: “I think overall, over the moon really, I think a really tough game, really challenging conditions, the pitch was tough in terms of the dry weather and the bobbles, wasn’t conducive to playing any type of football on, but you go through a season and you’ve got to come up against different challenges and different adversity and I think t

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.

When Dave Russell’s team of the 1960/1961 season impressively claimed the Football League Division Three Championship, they did so in swashbuckling style.  Three players – Don Watson, Bill Calder and Alan Jackson (pictured left to right below) – each scored more than twenty goals and the Shakers created a new club record by scoring an impressive 108 league goals. Speed forward to 2025 and Dave McNabb’s boys have now already beaten that record – and with seven games still remaining!  Those

The Shakers’ comfortable 2-0 win at home to Barnoldswick Town was our ninth in succession – a run we aim to continue and clinch promotion. And what a treat to be roared on by another big gate: 3,497.

Then it’s back to Gigg Lane on March 29 for the visit of Squires Gate – currently second to bottom. The mood music that day will be prov
