    Match Info: Squires Gate (A), Tue 19th Sep, 7.45pm KO

    The manager-less Shakers head over to the seaside this mid-week in the North West Counties Football League Premier Division to take on Squires Gate at the Brian Addison Stadium, kick-off is 7.45pm.

    A 2-1 defeat on Merseyside to Lower Breck on Saturday dropped us to fifth position in the league and as a result Andy Welsh left his post after three years at the helm of the club.

    The show goes on and in quick fashion, with under-23s managers Leon Mike and Stephen ‘Sas’ Sheil taking charge for tomorrow night’s trip and applications being taken for the new manager’s position.

    Squires Gate sit in 23rd going into the game, losing nine of the opening 12 but had a rousing come-from-behind win over the weekend when they defeated FC Isle of Man 3-2, thanks to three second half goals that led them to just a second victory of the season.

    With a Bury side looking to bounce-back this week, Squires Gate have had tickets on sale which can still be purchased for pick-up on the gate and are now offering a CASH ONLY admission tomorrow night.

    Get full details below.
      In Opposition – Squires Gate

    Managed by Luke Evans, the club has gone through quite significant change in recent years starting with the Covid pandemic, and the passing of chairman Tony Jo resulting in the club on just surviving during the summer of 2022.

    Despite these troubles, the club has maintained its position in the Premier Division of the league, finishing 20th last season and avoiding the relegation trap door by five points. For more historical information on our hosts, click HERE.

    Club Statement: Andy Welsh

    We can confirm that Bury Football Club and manager Andy Welsh have agreed to part company.

    We would like to thank Andy for his hard work and commitment to the club, the players, and it’s volunteers over the past three and a half years.

    Andy provided outstanding leadership throughout some difficult and turbulent times, not least during a global pandemic when just playing football was a challenge. In addition to winning a league title Andy quietly helped and supported many volunteers off the pitch when they needed it.

    He more than earned the right to lead the team at Gigg Lane at the start of the season. We can’t speak highly enough about him as a person, and we know many will be extremely sad to see him go.

    Unfortunately, we have decided now is the right time for a change and we wish Andy all the best for the future.

    The under-23s management team of Leon Mike and Stephen Sheil will take charge on an interim basis, with the recruitment process to appoint a new manager to begin with immediate effect.

    Society Update On Elections

    Update from the Football Supporters' Society of Bury
    Following the conclusion of the investigation and further discussions with the independent election scrutineers Mi-Voice, the Interim Board are pleased to announce that the nomination period will be reopening imminently. We’d like to provide the following updated election timeline to members as promised in our previous statement in an attempt to keep members informed as best we can with progress to having a fully elected Board in place.
     
    Nominations will reopen from Friday 15th September 2023 for a period of 10 days. This is to allow sufficient time for anyone to submit, amend or withdraw nominations should they wish. Anyone who previously submitted a nomination will be contacted directly by Mi-Voice after the 15th September 2023.
     
    Once the nomination period has closed on Monday 25th September 2023, an independent Election Committee will collate the nominations and will confirm that all nominees are valid in accordance with the Election Policy and Conflict of Interests Policy. We expect this will take no more than 5 working days. We anticipate voting will then open on 29th September 2023 for a period of two weeks, with the results announced at an online Special General Meeting at 7pm on the 13th October 2023. All votes will have been cast either electronically or by postal ballot ahead of the meeting where the results will be announced. The formal calling notice can be viewed here.
     
    Significant time and effort has been spent cleansing membership data with the aim of ensuring that only paying adult (Aged 16 or over) members will be able to vote in the upcoming election, and that each member has one vote, even where they were a member of both societies. It is not possible to achieve absolute perfection in this matter. No society such as ours can achieve that. We believe we will have the most accurate possible electoral database we can achieve and any further delays to the establishment of a newly elected board would have a more negative impact on the Society than additional work on the database and inevitable further delays which we believe will be immaterial to the result.
     
    Invalid voting accounts will always be deleted from the database where they are discovered, and this applies throughout any voting period. Any accounts which have been flagged as potentially invalid will be contacted prior to voting opening to provide proof they are a legitimate account. Any account unable to provide sufficient proof will be unable to vote in the election. Anyone who has knowingly created a membership using false information can notify us by 25th September by emailing d.triggs@fssb.co.uk for any invalid or false Shakers Community memberships and k.lee@fssb.co.uk for any invalid or false Bury Football Club Supporters Society memberships. These invalid memberships will be deleted with no further action taken ahead of voting commencing. Further action will be taken against individuals who have, in the opinion of the Board, knowingly created false or invalid memberships. 
     
    Any other questions or queries related to the election should be sent to support@mi-voice.com. 
     
    We will aim to provide a further update to members once the nomination period has closed.
