We would like to offer our sincere thanks to the managers Leon and Sas, all coaches, players and backroom staff, particularly Tina, who have contributed to the U23s setup over the last 2 seasons for their hard work and dedication.

Bury FC History - Testers and contributors needed!

Good morning, everyone,
Over the past few months, I’ve been working on a project very close to my heart — an online database designed to preserve and celebrate the complete history of Bury FC. The goal is simple but important: to create a comprehensive, freely accessible resource for all fans and the club itself, ensuring that our proud history is properly documented and available for generations to come.
At present, the database already includes:
All league matches, players, and league positions from the club’s formation through to 2019.
However, there are still some significant gaps that need to be filled, particularly regarding player data such as appearances, goals, and disciplinary records (e.g., yellow/red cards).
While much of the website’s core functionality is in place, it remains very much a work in progress. This is where I’m hoping the Bury FC community can lend a hand.
🔧 I’m looking for volunteers to support in two key areas:
1️⃣ Testing the current functionality
Your feedback would be hugely appreciated — are there any bugs, glitches, or areas where the site could be improved? Suggestions for usability, design, or additional features are all very welcome.
2️⃣ Data curation and contribution
Once we’re confident that the platform works as intended, I’d love to work with anyone willing to help populate the missing player records and ensure the database is as complete and accurate as possible.
Please note: Currently, placeholder data is being used, so you may see match dates defaulting to 1970 and some players listed as 125 years old. These are simply markers until proper data can be curated.
Ultimately, my hope is for this project to become the official historical archive for Bury FC — a free, collaborative resource that everyone can explore and contribute to.
If you’re interested in getting involved, I’d really welcome your support and feedback.
👉 The website is live and can be accessed here: https://stats.uptheshakers.co.uk
If you're interested in testing and contributing, please email enquiries@uptheshakers.co.uk
📸 Below are a few screenshots to give you a preview of what’s there so far.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and hopefully working with many of you to make this something special.
