    Creating A Safe Environment For Supporters

    Creating A Safe Environment For Supporters
    For our football club to grow, it’s vital we create the right atmosphere inside the ground which makes people feel safe and welcome and encourages people to bring their children, and get involved regardless of their gender, race, or sexuality.

    We would like to remind everyone that by turnstiles is a poster containing the following regulation:

    ‘The use of threatening behaviour and/or foul or abusive language is strictly forbidden and may result in arrest and/or ejection from the Ground. The Club may impose a ban (including, but not limited to, a ban for one or more Matches) and/or the removal of season ticket(s) for any such behaviour.’
    We know things can get heated at football games, and we can all say things in the heat of the moment. We can forgive a mistake. But if you feel threatened, or if you observe anti-social behaviour which persistently breaches this regulation please let a steward know. This is a regulation we are prepared to enforce. It’s vital to the long term success of the club that we do so.
    If you are concerned that there is a safeguarding issue and a vulnerable person is at threat, you can also contact safeguarding@buryfc.co.uk with your concerns. You can find our safeguarding policy here.
    We want everyone to enjoy what will be a historic season for the club and hope you will assist us in ensuring that that happens, without exception.

    Our final game of pre-season is an away trip to Nelson on Tuesday evening.

      In Opposition – Nelson
    The origins of Nelson FC can be traced to a group of townspeople who in 1881, on witnessing a local football match between Burnley and Blackburn, were inspired to form their own team.
      As a club, Nelson have a rich vain of history, in the mid 1920s they beat both Manchester United & Real Madrid away from home in the same season.
      In 1982, they became founders members of the North West Counties League and have been members ever since, apart from a four year hiatus from 1988-1992, as there ground didn’t meet league standards.
      The club’s most memorable season in recent years would be the 2013/24 season, when manager Mark Fell brought long awaited success back to the town, a first league title in 62 years. His side scored a remarkable 157 goals in 45 games and won the NWCFL Division One by 5 clear points.

    Four More Incoming

    With the 2023/24 season just a week away, we are able to confirm FOUR more players that will be pulling on a Shakers shirt this season.
      These players have played throughout the pre-season campaign and are looking to cement their positions as the season unfolds.
      First-up is tricky winger, Sajjad Elhassan. The 23-year-old was signed by Andy Welsh at the back end of last season, from Trafford on dual registration having recently been playing at Maine Road in Division One South.
     
      Saj scored the first Men’s goal at Gigg Lane since 2019 in the friendly against 1874 Northwich on July 11th, which is one of two goals he’s scored in pre-season.
      Defender Jack Tinning has played at centre-back and full-back throughout pre-season and his versatility will be seen throughout the competitive campaign.
     
      He joined Bury AFC last October from Witton Albion.
      The 25-year-old was in Warrington Rylands FA Vase winning team as well as both their NWCFL and subsequent NPL West Division promotion squads.
      Earlier in his career Jack was on a schoolboy contract at Oldham Athletic. His other former clubs include FC United of Manchester, Abbey Hey, Padiham & 1874 Northwich.
      Young midfielder Anton Smith signed for Andy Welsh last summer following his departure from Salford City.
     
      Anton is a product of Burnley’s Academy and has been on loan at City of Liverpool, Prescot Cables and Atherton Collieries.
      He’s also known to have a goal in his locker as was seen against Hyde United.
      And finally, goalkeeper Jack Hewitt-Hill will be battling for the number 1 shirt this season alongside Atkinson.
     
      Born in Bradford, the 21-year-old had his first around a team in the National League System last season, having online previously played Sunday league football.
      He’s worked closely with goalkeeper coach Spencer Harrison to develop his game.
