    Match Info: Barnoldswick Town (A), Tues 18th Apr (7.45pm KO)

    After a long end to a very long weekend, in what has felt like a long season, we enter the final few days before we pack away the 2022/23 season!
    A 3-2 loss on Saturday at the Douglas Bowl, was perhaps not the result that was wanted or what the lads deserved for their performance which came less than 48 hours after leaving the pitch against Burscough. The Ravens’ goal led a charmed life, with goalkeeper Ben Wilkinson earning the man of the match after a number of saves to keep the three points in the Manx isle.
    However, the play from Bury throughout was quick and deserved more. A fact displayed by the adoring fans, around 700 in total, who stayed on at the end of the game to cycle their renditions of the songs that had been ringing in the ears of the locals since at least Friday! You can see a full nine minutes of those after-match celebrations to the right.
    The celebrations of the season carried on into the Douglas evening, as fans and players alike gathered in the capital across the various bars and restaurants. The weekend as a whole, despite the result, had been a huge success for both the island and the supporters who had travelled.
    That was until the fog set in to disrupt a lot of the travel arrangements to return to the UK from early on Sunday morning, with the players and staff joining hundreds of players by being marooned on the island for another night.
    Thankfully, most seem to have returned safely during Monday with another quick turnaround as we head up to Barlick this Tuesday evening for our final away fixture of the season. All your match information is available below.
      Opponents – Barnoldswick Town
    Formed in 1972 and named Barnoldswick United(1972) – so called due to being canny Yorkshiremen- had there been a previous club named Barnoldswick United and they had outstanding debts the new club would have been liable for them.
    The field started out as a grazing meadow for cattle, after a lot of hard work, it is now the pitch they play on. The club had 2 teams playing in the Craven & District Football League, in the early 1990’s they joined the East Lancashire Football League again with 2 teams.
    In the late 1990’s they had three teams their 1st & 2nd team teams joined The West Lancashire Football League, their 3rds staying in The East Lancashire League.
    The 2003/2004 season brought the amalgamation of Barnoldswick United (1972), Barnoldswick Park Rovers and Salterforth Juniors and they changed their name to Barnoldswick Town Football Club.
    It has always been in the club’s constitution to get the ground up to the minimum standards of The North West Counties Football League and the 2009/2010 season saw them accepted into The North West Counties Football League.
    Barlick have had to fit in as many games as we have following a number of postponements since the turn of the year, including our previous planned visit in February. They currently sit just above the relegation spots, but with both of these settled (Burscough joined Ashton Athletic over weekend), they are in no danger of trouble now. Highlights of Barlick’s visit to the Neuven, and that diving header from Harry Brazel, in early December can be found below.

    Preparation for visiting the Isle of Man

    Ahead of our trip and in line with the policing large crowds and events, the local constabulary in Douglas have been in touch to advise supporters on customs on the island during the period of Bury supporters visiting ahead and during our game against FC Isle of Man this weekend.
    Supporters are reminded to be aware of the below points:
    Segregation will be in place inside the stadium on the day of the game. Away supporters are requested to access the northern end of the ground only. Stewards will be on hand to guide supporters to the right areas. Alcohol will NOT be available inside the ground and not permitted to be brought into the stadium. Please abide by this request and cooperate with staff at all times. Laws on the island are different to those in the UK and the local police’s tolerance to public disorder is lower than that in the UK. Abiding to police instruction at all times is necessary. Arrests will be made where this is the case and this will lead to summons in court. We wish supporters all a great time on the island during your visit, but please be aware at all times about the points above. We wish to leave a positive lasting impression on the island, and request and appreciate your cooperation in doing so.

    Match Info: FC Isle Of Man (A), Sat 15th Apr (6pm KO)

    With the finishing line in sight, we finally gear up for our trip over the Irish Sea to take on FC Isle of Man at the Douglas Bowl this Saturday evening.
    Supporters have been slowly arriving in the Manx Isle as the week has progressed, taking in all the area has to offer, whilst the ferries and airports will be busy on Saturday itself as around 600 Burt fans will be in attendance for our first visit to take on the Ravens at home.
    In the reverse fixture back in September, an early Lewis Gilboy brace was followed up by Niall Cummins and a diving Anton Smith header for a 4-0 Bury win. Highlights of this game are available below.
    Despite a change in management not long after, the Ravens have had an up and down season but have won their last three, including a 94th minute winner last time out at the Bowl when they overcame Avro.
    Thursday night’s loss against Burscough put a further dent in our playoff hopes, which now means we need to rely on results elsewhere to secure second.
    We expect the supporters are excited to be traveling in numbers this weekend. We have put together some information about how visitors to the island are expected to conduct themselves, you can find this HERE. Please respect the island and it’s laws at all times.
    Get behind the lads and support them to the end.
    All your pre-match information can be found below.

    The ground will be segregated for home and away fans, with Bury fans given the northern end of the ground with access only by the adjacent gate as shown below.

      Opponents – FC Isle Of Man
    FC Isle of Man was founded in 2020 and is a community-based football club which represents the island as a whole.
    The Ravens, like ourselves, were officially accepted into the English non-league pyramid for the 2020/21 season. However, due to Covid restrictions and border controls into the island, the club were temporarily suspended from the league as it was not possible to fulfil all their fixtures by 31st May 2021, as required by the English FA.
    Subsequently the season as a whole was eventually suspended due to further Covid outbreaks in early 2021 and the 2021/22 season became their first in the non-league system.
    Despite going top of the division temporarily in February after a dramatic 4-3 victory over eventual league champions West Didsbury, the Ravens ultimately finished second in the league but were promoted at the first attempt after defeating New Mills in the play-off final in front of more than 3,000 spectators at the Bowl.
    The Ravens go into the weekend in 16th place in the league, with any concerns over relegation firmly put to bed by winning the last three games.

    Match Info: Burscough FC (H, Seel Park), Thur 13th Apr (7.45pm KO)

    We head into the final couple of weeks of the season, with still a chance of reaching the top two spots. Champions Vauxhall Motors claimed the top spot at weekend, with ourselves, Avro and our weekend opponents Wythenshawe Town, still in the hunt for second and the only play-off spot available this season.
    The returning duo of Tom Greaves and Aidan Chippendale started in their first game back available for the Shakers. Chippendale scored twice in the first half to announce his return, before Town pegged the score back just ahead of the half-time break. Harry Brazel put us back ahead midway through the second half, before the three points were snatched away at the death with Dwyer leaping to take a share of the spoils.
    This is going to be tight, with Avro and Wythenshawe both having two games left, but with Wythenshawe further behind and needing the teams around them to slip up to have a chance of progressing into second. We have #4togo and if we win them all, we can reach 89 points. As can Avro. All to play for.
    What we need to do, is focus on winning our games. And we do that by being together. Get down tonight and cheer the lads on! Match info available below.
    Opponents – Burscough FC
    Following the Second World War the present Burscough club was founded in 1946, starting life in the Liverpool County Combination. In only their second season, 1946/47, they achieved a unique treble, winning the Lancashire Junior Cup, George Mahon Cup and the Liverpool Challenge Cup.
    In 1982 the Club became founder members of the North West Counties Football League and had the distinction of becoming the Leagues first ever Champions under Bryan Griffiths.
    In more recent times, following the resignation of John Davison the club appointed Shaun Teale as player/manager in May 2002 and the ex-Aston Villa defender went on to sensationally lead the club to its greatest ever achievement as Burscough became the smallest club to ever win the FA Trophy following a tremendous 2-1 victory over Tamworth at Villa Park on Sunday 18th May 2003 in front of a crowd of 14,296 spectators and televised live on Sky. There were incredible scenes as almost 2,000 fans welcomed the team home to Victoria Park.
    An incredible end to 2003/04 season saw Burscough finish with a remarkable run of victories that saw them claw their way out of the bottom three into the play-offs for Conference North. Despite playing all their games away from home the Linnets went on to reach the play-off final where they only went down at Bradford Park Avenue following extra-time. During the summer Frank Parr stepped down after 30 years as chairman with local businessman Chris Lloyd taking over at the helm.
    Season 2005/06 was another historic one for Burscough F.C. as they went on to reach the Second Round proper of the F.A. Cup for the first time in their history. In reaching that milestone they defeated League One side Gillingham 3-2 on a never to be forgotten day at Victoria Park before going out to Burton Albion. 
    Despite spending many a season in the higher reaches of the non-league pyramid, financial difficulties through the 2010s lead to Burscough ending up back in the NWCFL in 2017.
    Last Time Out
    We came away from Burscough with the victory back in February An early goal from Niall Cummins bringing all three points home. Highlights below.
    Burscough have been a bit of a mixed bag these last few weeks, with 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats in their last six.
    This season so far, Town have nine wins and six draws from their 39 games and sit in 21st place on 33 points.
