Match Info: Trafford (A), Tue 7th Oct, 7:45pm KO

It’s been a tough start to the season with both injuries and fixtures piling up and Saturday’s FA Trophy tie gave an opportunity for rest and recovery for many of our senior squad whilst giving an opportunity for our under 21’s to test their metal against strong opposition.


The scoreline did not reflect the enormous amount of effort and heart put in by the young shakers side – who had an average age around 18 – and we thank them and everyone who travelled to Runcorn to get behind them on Saturday. Just 24 hours later the under 21s went on to play their county cup tie coming away 11-1 winners!


Looking back at the NPL West league table, we remain well in touch with the league leaders sitting in seventh place with 14 points from seven games. Our opponents for this match are currently towards the bottom of the league with just four points from 10 games.


So here’s looking to pick up more points at the Flixton side’s Shawe View ground. We look forward to seeing as many Shakers as possible at Trafford and as always…. Be loud, be proud!
In Opposition – Trafford

Trafford have spent most of their 35-year existence playing at the upper end of the north-west non-league structure and ended the 2024-25 season in a commendable ninth place in the NPLW table.


They’ve struggled this time round, but their season took a turn for the better last Tuesday with their first point for a 1-1 draw at Witton Albion, followed by a 4-1 home win against Sporting Khasala on Saturday.


Two of Saturday’s goals came from new centre-forward Tom Lawrence, who went on as a sub in the 33rd minute. Lawrence was previously with Chester but was released at the end of last season.

Parking Facilities: Supporters who have no option but to travel by car are advised that the car park on Pennybridge Lane is likely to be full by 19:00.


Supporters should attempt to park away from the ground and walk a short distance to the match. This will ease congestion around the ground and make it easier for supporters to get away after the game. There is likely to be some parking on Bowfell Road and Moorside Road both of which are a short walk from the ground.


We would ask all visitors to respect our local neighbours and not to park across driveways or restrict access to residential properties.

Roadworks: There are currently roadworks taking place outside the Bird I’ th’ Hand pub on Flixton Road. The roadworks are traffic light controlled and are causing delays to traffic. Supporters are asked to avoid Flixton Road and park away from the ground.

PSA Test Day @ Bury Football Club

PSA Test Day @ Bury Football Club

We are hosting a PSA Test Day in association with the Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal on Saturday 22nd November.

The Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal (BKPCA) was set up by Barry Kilby, ex-Chairman, of Burnley Football Club in 2014. Barry was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2011 after having no symptoms and he considers himself lucky to be alive. As a result of this, Barry is determined to help as many men as possible from being put in the same position as he was.  

There is no National Screening for Prostate Cancer and most men are reluctant to visit their doctor for testing. Initially, Barry found a way of reaching out to Burnley FC fans on match days, encouraging as many men as possible to come and have a simple blood test at the football ground to check their PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) score.  

So far, BKPCA have tested over 13000 men. Of those, 1200 men have had Red or Amber results and have been referred on to their GP for further testing. This is 1000 men that could potentially have Prostate Cancer and some, at such a young age, wouldn’t have been offered a test by their GP.

Pre-booking is required for this event, which will run between 10am & 2pm in Starkies. Click here to book and find out further information.

Match Info: Runcorn Linnets (A), Sat 4th Oct, 3pm KO

Match Info: Runcorn Linnets (A), Sat 4th Oct, 3pm KO

After our stunning fightback against Stafford Rangers, we travel to Runcorn Linnets for a replay of the game which had to be abandoned at half-time with the score at 1-1.


Our last-gasp league victory at the weekend was the third in succession and took us to third place in the table, with 14 points from seven matches.


It really was a great squad performance, with two of our three goals coming from Gabriel Johnson and Rustam Stepans just minutes after they’d come on as substitutes.


That performance suggests we’re now hitting the kind of form which will keep us in the top five.


If we win at Runcorn Linnets on Tuesday night, we’ll face NPL side Morpeth Town at home in the third qualifying round on Tuesday instead of Trafford in the league. 
In Opposition – Runcorn Linnets

Runcorn are one of the strongest teams in the NPLW and, like us, have high hopes of promotion. They’re currently 11th in the table, but have played only six games.


Their only defeat this season was at Gigg Lane three weeks ago, when we dominated but managed to score only a single goal.


All the more reason to get along to the Apec Taxis Stadium and cheer on the lads.
Admission & Tickets
This fixture is ALL TICKET. No tickets will be available on the day. Any tickets already purchased for Tuesday’s tie will be valid for Saturday. Tickets from the original game are not valid.

Click here to purchase tickets, priced at £6 – adults, £4 – concessions (65+, 19-22 and disabled) and £1 – 18s and under.

Although supporters will again be accommodated on the opposite side of the ground to the main stand, a section of seating will be reserved for anybody from Bury unable to stand and requiring a seat.

Please email Runcorn for refunds on tickets bought for Tuesday or with any other queries.
Travel & Parking
Address: Stockham Lane, Halton, Runcorn WA7 6GJ
Public Transport: Runcorn is served by two railway stations, Runcorn (Liverpool Lime Street to London line, also with services from Chester and Birmingham)  and Runcorn East (trains to and from Manchester, Chester and North Wales).

ROY PARNELL – 1943-2025

ROY PARNELL – 1943-2025

Bury Football Club sends its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Roy Parnell, who passed away on 10th September, aged 81.


Roy began his career as a youth player with Everton, signed professional forms on his seventeenth birthday and made his Toffees debut before turning eighteen. In three years as a professional he appeared in three games for Everton, all being away games.


Everton manager Harry Catterick eventually allowed Roy to move on and in August 1964 he signed for his hometown club, Tranmere Rovers, who were managed by former Shakers boss Dave Russell at the time.


The full-back went on to play 116 games for Rovers over the next three seasons but in February 1967, Bury boss Les Shannon paid £5,500 to bring Roy to Gigg Lane. Shannon had also been Parnell’s youth coach at Everton and knew the England Youth player well.


Roy gave great service to the Shakers for three seasons and missed just two games as Bury gained promotion to tier two in 1967/8. In total he played 116 league and cup games for the Shakers before being given a free transfer in May 1970, when he moved on a semi-pro basis to New Brighton as player-manager and in 1973 was playing for Wirral team, Newton.

Match Info: Stafford Rangers (H), Sat 27th Aug, 3:00pm KO

Match Info: Stafford Rangers (H), Sat 27th Aug, 3:00pm KO

It’s never a dull week of footballing action when the Shakers are concerned.

After having to replay our previous FA Trophy tie due to player ineligibility, we now face a re-arranged fixture against Runcorn Linnets on Tuesday night. More details to follow on that one, but first, we face off against Stafford Rangers in the league.


The 45 minutes against Runcorn last weekend gave Oscar Threlkeld & Reece Kendall their Shakers debuts, Reece for the second time, also Gavin Massey’s first Shakers start and a welcome return for Aaron Chalmers from injury.


Stafford Rangers will head to Gigg Lane to face the Shakers for the first time, but they have conceded seven goals across their last two visits when they played FC United of Manchester twice across 2013 & 2014.
Words from the Gaffer
As we didn’t have a post-match interview following the Runcorn fixture, Dave McNabb has shared these short thoughts ahead of the weekend:


“I thought the first half performance was good on Saturday and felt we had the majority of the play once things settled down after conceding early.


“Never nice for a game to be abandoned but realistically the referee had no choice with the amount of standing water and more rain planned.


“We now have a mega busy schedule two two-week games for the foreseeable future with potentially more to follow. We are also battling a growing injury list with 9 players unavailable last Saturday, and Bobby picking up a knock during the game itself. We may now consider utilising some of the excellent Under-21’s players in the replayed FA Trophy game. This could be a brilliant opportunity for the young lads to showcase their abilities on a big stage as well as showing the club’s commitment to building a pathway to the first team.”
In Opposition – Stafford Rangers

Despite extensive research, no one has been able to prove when Stafford Rangers was formed, as early minute books were destroyed during the First World War.


Rangers’ formation year is recognised as 1876 because of articles in the local Advertiser newspaper, but an alternative theory on Rangers’ formation date, printed in the Sentinel newspaper during 1891, suggests that the club was founded by a Bible class in 1877. 


The club has peaked at 6th in the National League on two occasions, or at that time named the Conference, in the late 1980s / early 1990s. It’s their second consecutive season at Step 4, having only spent four seasons out of the last 15 at this level, having been at the NPL Premier and Conference North levels in recent years.
On the Day & In the Ground
Our Matchday @ Gigg guide is available to read to find out everything you need to know going on in and around the ground.

Tickets are still on sale via our ticketing page on our website. Pay on the gate will also be available.

Starkies will be open at the normal time of 12.30pm for supporters to access from the Manchester Road End entrance before kick-off. This will be on a first-come, first-served basis up to capacity, which will be managed on the door. Starkies will remain open throughout the game (for those in the main stand only) as well as after the game.

If you are unable to make it to the action at Gigg Lane, we’ll have all the live coverage across our media platforms.
