Bury FC to host Manchester Remembers

We are delighted to announce that we will be bringing the prestigious ‘Manchester Remembers’ charity football match and fundraising day to Gigg Lane this year for the very first time.

Established by Aaron Lee & Paul Corrigan, in 2020, the successful event has raised over £100,000 for a number of charities linked to the Manchester Arena attack in 2017.

Previously hosted by Manchester City FC and Oldham Athletic, we are extremely pleased to be holding this year’s event at Gigg Lane, the home of Bury Football Club and we are working in collaboration with Aaron, Paul and Bury Council to make it happen.


Manchester Remembers will be held on June 14th 2025, with Sam Allardyce and Peter Reid will again be managing this years ‘Legends’ and ‘Celebrity’ teams respectively and already they have some big names who will be in attendance on the day, with more details and ticketing information coming very soon.


Bury FC Head of Operations, Casey Lynchey said: “We have been in conversation with Aaron & Paul for some time and have recently managed to pull everything together to enable us to host the event at Gigg Lane this summer.

“Their story is compelling and the relentless work they have done to raise so much for the various charities is remarkable. We couldn’t be prouder at Bury FC to be bringing the event to the town and along with the support of our staff and volunteer team and Bury Council, we’ll work hard behind the scenes to make sure it is a success and can raise as much as possible for such an important cause.”

Reaction: Cam Fogerty & Lewis Byrne Pilkington (A)

Bury won 2-0 away at Pilkington as the Shakers look to continue their push for the title, Cam Fogerty and Lewis Byrne spoke to the club to give us their thoughts on today’s game.


Cam Fogerty: “I thought we were really poor. First half, second half we gave it more of a go. I think first half it felt like they had more energy. They were a yard quicker than us and they had the majority of the momentum, I’d say up until about the 30th minute. We had a few good chances but second half I thought we were much better, got in their faces, pressed well. That’s where the goals came from, playing with intensity and tempo. I’m just relieved to get the three points because it was a tough day. They made it hard for us.”


He then spoke about the frustration of missing so many chances in the 1st half with him saying “Yes and no because we made a lot of chances, but I don’t feel like we deserved scoring them. I felt like Pilkerton gave us a great game first half and they came out with a lot of energy. For large periods of it, they were the better team so for us to go in 1-0 or 2-0 up would have been a bit of a disservice to Pilkerton. But second half, I think we thoroughly deserved it.”


Lewis then spoke about his goal today “Yes, definitely good to get on the score sheet but I feel like I could have done a little bit more today with the way it went. It wasn’t much of a game of football; I didn’t feel like the pitch didn’t really allow it. It was just a bit of a fight. But yes, obviously I’m glad to get the goal for the club.”


He then spoke about how it was important to get onto the score sheet as quick as possible in the second half, with him saying “Yes, of course, I think the main thing was just to be battling the first and second balls and obviously be more in the faces. I feel like we let them have the ball a little bit too much in the first half. As soon as we did start getting in the faces and obviously didn’t let them have a second, that was when the chances all started coming.”


Cam then spoke about whether there was any nerves when they were 1-0 up with him saying “You know what, at 1-0 I felt really comfortable. It was at 0-0 where I felt these could nick one here and if we go in at the break, 1-0 down, then it would be an uphill battle obviously. But at 1-0 I felt really comfortable and obviously they got the sending off which made it easier for them. Although I did think they played better with ten men, surprisingly. When Rusty scored, we knew that’s lights out then, game over, which obviously is a relief. Now it’s all eyes on next Saturday for another win.”


Cam then looked ahead to next week game vs Squires Gate at Gigg Lane “Well, if we would have played, we would have won. They’re still fighting to stay up, so it’ll be a tough game, but we’re at a gig. We know how well we can play at a gig. We’re unbeaten this season. I don’t envisage us losing there or dropping points there for the rest of the season. I think we’ll put them out.”

Reaction: Dave McNabb Pilkington (A)

Bury won 2-0 over Pilkington as they continue their push towards the NWCFL title, Manager Dave McNabb spoke to the club to give us his thoughts on the game.


Dave McNabb: “I thought the first half was horrendous, if I’m being honest. No patterns of play, we looked nervous, we looked like we didn’t want to get on the ball and be brave with it. That being said, we missed three edge chances, we hit the bar with a bit of a lucky overhead kick from Bobby [Carroll]. We could have been 3-0 up, but we wouldn’t have deserved it. I think we’ve got to be better in terms of the way we impose ourselves, we’ve got to start the game a little bit quicker. Second half, they took everything on board, it wasn’t brilliant and scintillating football by any stretch, but the intensity went up a couple of levels. The press, the ugly stuff of the game, running, competing, winning first and second balls was much better. Sometimes that’s all it takes, sometimes you can’t play brilliantly well, especially at this point in the season. So, yes, really pleased to get the three points and we go again next week.”


Next Dave spoke about changes to todays starting 11 with Nicky Adams replacing Josh Gregory as well as Louis Jeanne absence with him saying “Josh hasn’t been too well, just a few little, tiny issues, nothing major. I think if we really needed to push him, if we didn’t have different options, then he could have started today, which is why he was on the bench. I just felt he’s played an awful lot of football, he’s come in on the back of a couple of long-term injuries and he’s played an awful lot of football, so we didn’t want to risk him getting injured and being missing for two or three weeks. He’s been a massive part of what we’ve achieved over the last few weeks, so that was that. In terms of the bench, obviously with having Josh on the bench, being able to play both centre-half and midfield, I just felt, depending on how the game panned out, we might need Connor. That was just being a little bit more attacking in terms of options on the bench.”


Dave then spoke about the aims for the rest of the season as we entered the final 5 games of the season, he said “I don’t think any of them were easy, I don’t think there were any games that were easy. We know that Bury is a scalp to any team, so teams step up when it’s difficult. No-one’s going to lie and say that they don’t check on the results, of course you do, but at the end of the day, it’s in our hands, so we put ourselves in the best place possible. We’ve been on an unbelievable run, one game at a time, just keep picking up three points. That’s all we can do, and the sole focus now is Squires Gate at home next week.”


He then spoke about today’s goal scorers Rustam Stepans and Lewis Byrne with him saying “Yes, I think they probably both needed a goal. I think they probably judged themselves a little bit more on scoring goals, and they’ve probably been a little bit disappointed over the last few weeks that they haven’t got more each. But from my point of view, obviously records or goals is always something that you look at, but I think it’s more about the contribution that people make when they’re on the pitch, and both of them have been fantastic since they’ve been here. Rusty’s played 51 games, the stats are unbelievable, and I’m sure he’ll say he should have scored a few more. If he’d been really critical, he should have done. But what a contribution he’s made this season; he’s been absolutely outstanding. So, yes, good for them to both get on the score sheet. Could’ve done with a  DJ [Pedro] one, he’s missed a chance there. But look, we get the three points, 2-0 win, it’s as you were, so we go again next week.”


Dave then looked ahead to the match against Squires gate next week at Gigg Lane “Obviously, they’re fighting for their lives, so every point matters for them. It’s not going to be one of those end-of-season games that you see sometimes where a team’s got nothing to play for and they’ve already got the flip-flops on and the half on the beach. It’s not going to be that, they’re fighting for their lives. Luke’s an exceptional coach, he’s a really, really good coach. He’ll have them very organised, and I’m sure it’ll be tough for us to break them down. We’ve been really good at Gigg, we’ve played some great football there. This week, we’ve got to prep and be ready for it, and play against another tough team, and we go again.”

Match Info: Pilkington (A), Sat 22nd Mar, 3pm KO

After 10 successive wins, it’s getting harder by the week for us to keep our feet on the ground. But we take nothing for granted as we head for Pilkington backed by what we hope will be 1,000 noisy Shakers fans.


Lower Breck kept up the pressure at the top by winning 3-1 at lowly Colne on Tuesday night. They’ve now played the same number of games and are just three points behind.


Our margin of victory at Pilkington’s neighbours FC St Helens last weekend was as slim as it can be. But that was down to a string of outstanding saves by goalkeeper Joe Mason. We dominated the game especially in the first 45.


Hopefully, Pilkington’s 3G surface will enable us to play the kind of attractive football we’ve so often produced of late. We beat Pilkington 2-0 at home in November. DJ Pedro – then on loan – marked his home debut with a goal, and Rustam Stepans scored the other. Since then, both have clocked up a remarkable tally of goals and assists.


We’re back at Gigg Lane for more great football on the 29th. Meanwhile, St Helens here we come for the second successive Saturday. Loud and proud as usual! Up The Shakers!
In Opposition – Pilkington

A 3-3 draw at FC Isle of Man last weekend gave a lift to Pilkington, who’ve won only one and lost three of their last six matches.

They’re 21st in the table – one place higher than when we last played them. Last season we beat them twice in what was for both clubs our first in the premier division.


As their name suggests, Pilkington started life as a team representing the famous St Helens glassworks. They’re now a thriving community club with three men’s senior teams, three women’s, 30 junior and youth teams and a walking football section.

BRIAN RICHARDSON JOINS BURY FC AS HEAD OF RECRUITMENT

We are delighted to announce Brian Richardson has joined the club from FC United of Manchester. He joins the Shakers as Head of Recruitment, following the departure of Jimmy Holmes last week.

The 73-year-old, Bury born, has been associated with FC United since 2019 where he’s held roles such as assistant manager, and more recently Director of Football for the men’s team.



Richardson held roles on the touchline before this, having been manager at Prescot Cables for three years, as well as spells at Ashton Town, Daisy Hill & Bootle.

He was also assistant manager at Skelmersdale United, where he had worked for ten years.

In his playing days, Brian was a professional with Blackpool FC.

Brian offers a wealth of non-league experience in the dugout and behind the scenes, he will aid Dave McNabb with his contact book going into next season.

He will begin the role with immediate effect and will attend training to link up with the management and squad this evening.

Upon joining the club, Brian said: “Looking forward to a new challenge at Bury FC. Sleeping giant and everything moved quickly, and I didn’t even have enough time to say goodbyes to many friends at FC United. I hope I can play a part in helping Bury FC quickly climb the ladder back to where they belong.”

Manager, Dave McNabb added: “I’m really pleased with Brian’s appointment, he’s someone who I’ve had a lot of respect and admiration for over the years.
