#HerGameToo Weekend

This weekend our fixtures across both men’s and women’s first team games will celebrate women in football, and in sport in general, as we endorse the ‘Her Game Too‘ message.

The club is affliated with the #HerGameToo movement, an organisation founded in May 2021 with the aim of raising awareness and educating others on the importance of inclusivity and diversity in sports. Their video above, was viewed hundreds of thousands of times and the quest to eliminate sexism in football had begun!

We are proud to be one of hundreds of clubs, in both the professional and semi-professional / grassroots settings, to be affiliated in the UK.

Whilst starting within football, and by a group of female football fans spread across the UK, HerGameToo has resonated significantly across the sporting landscape, with like-minded initiatives now set up covering cricket, rugby and ice hockey. The start of the campaign highlighted the inequality felt, particularly by women, in the stands at football grounds across the country. But this is not limited to football supporters on the terraces, we want to see the same acceptance and inclusion on the pitch and behind the scenes.

We start the build-up to this weekend by introducing the team of ambassadors and advocates for the club, starting with Samantha Harman who volunteers as matchday volunteer co-ordinator at Gigg Lane. Sam sat down with buryfc.co.uk to answer questions around how she got involved with #HerGameToo.
  Club #HerGameToo Ambassador, Sam Harman Hello Sam, please can you give a quick introduction of yourself and what involvement you have for Her Game Too?
 


What is your main goal as the Her Game Too ambassador for Bury FC and what are your hoping to achieve in your role as ambassador for women who go along to football matches at Bury?
    The Her Game Too campaign has really taken off, how pleasing is it to see such a campaign for women especially after seeing recent campaigns like Kick It Out and Rainbow Laces?
    How did you become aware of the Her Game Too campaign?
    Why did you decide to get involved in Her Game Too?
    Have you ever been subjected to any kind of sexism at a football match or on social media yourself?
    Bury FC Women’s Chloe Greenhall wheels away after scoring at Gigg Lane earlier this season What changes have you seen over the years in the attitudes towards women going to watch football in general?
 


We have seen women’s football really grow recently especially with the lionesses winning the Euros and being runners-up in the World Cup. How good is that to see?
 
  How good is it to see Bury FC promote women’s football as much as they do with the men’s team?
    What would you say to any female fan going to football matches who hear things they don’t want to or who are subjected to any sexist abuse? What would you advise them to do?
    It’s not just about highlighting sexism and discrimination towards women at football matches but Her Game Too also promotes women’s participation in football too.
    We will continue to build up to our #HerGameToo Weekend ahead of the fixtures, but if you want to be #PartofIt grab a ticket for our game against Lower Breck at Gigg Lane by clicking below:
    As always, keep across the latest from the club on the website, X / Twitter & Facebook.

Men’s Player Of The Month – February

Dec Daniels (left) was the winner in January In another cracking month of results, we moved up to the top of the league with four wins and a draw. Scoring 10 goals, conceding just four and it could be argued that the players have shared the performances across the games this month.

With goalscorers of Briggs, Daniels, Lowe and Burns all getting on the team sheet, as well as us going on a run of three consecutive clean sheets – so kudos to the defensive line and goalkeeper!

This will make the decision a tight one for supporters, and means your vote will be an all important one!

Who will replace last month’s winner, Dec Daniels, and be presented with a fully liveried Bury FC Hyundai courtesy of BCC Cars for their use for one month as their reward?

Voting closes ahead of kick-off against Lower Breck this Saturday, so VOTE NOW!
   
            Who is your February Player Of The Month? (pick one)
Andy Briggs Harry Brockbank Sam Burns Jordan Butterworth Connor Comber Sam Coughlan Dec Daniels Charlie Doyle Jacob Holland-Wilkinson Oli Jepson Andy Kellett Ollie Kilner Arthur Lomax-Jones Benito Lowe Tom Moore Gaz Peet Billy Reeves Andy Scarisbrick Anton Smith Harry Wright   Vote     Head of BCC Hyundai, Simon Davis pictured with striker Benito Lowe Bury Football Club would like to thank Simon Davis and Mike Holt for their tremendous support of the club. Simon is pictured with their flagship IONIQ 6, winner of the 2023 ‘World Car of the Year’, ‘World Electric Vehicle’ and ‘World Car Design of the Year’ awards.

Kit Colour Vote – 2024/26 Away Colours

The time has come to choose your away colours for the 2024/26 seasons.

Our current policy is to rotate kits every two years, to reward supporters for buying replica kits and keep them up-to-date for longer.

As we started the 2023/24 season with two new kits, home and away, we need to break this rule just once so that home and away kits are changed in alternate years. The current away kit will be kept as a third kit.

This means we are now choosing a new away kit for next season, and want help from our members to finalise the design.

For a full preview of colours that you will be voting for later in the week and for more information on how to be #PartOfIt please visit the FSSB page here

Match Info: WYTHENSHAWE (H), TUE 27th Feb, 7.45pm KO

On Saturday Dave McNabb’s men made it thirteen Nortwest Counties Premier Dvision games undefeated with a 1-0 victory over Glossop North End.

We have been on a run that has seen us score 40 goals, score in every game and keep six clean sheets on our way to the top of the table.

We currently have a three point cushion over second place Wythenshawe Town with a game in hand.

We now focus our attention on their near neighbours and fellow promotion chasers Wythenshawe.

In the reverse fixture earlier in the season the spoils were shared in a one all draw with now former Shaker Shakeel Jones-Griffiths scoring our only goal that evening with Wythenshawe leveling up in the 89th minute with a Sam Dikov penalty.

This promises to be a fantastic display of NWCFL football as well as being a potential six pointer between two of the leagues in form teams!

Get down to Gigg and get behind Dave and the team as we look to extend our lead at the top of the table.

Check out the highlights from the weekends game and Dave McNabbs post match interview below.

  In Opposition – Wythenshawe
Originally founded in 1946 as Wythenshawe Lads’ Club by Reg Gauntlet, a local window cleaner, gathering together a group of kids kicking a ball about in the street, started playing friendlies, held meetings with parents in a wooden hut in the grounds of Cringlewood House, Yew Tree Lane. They then set up home by hiring a room in an old farmhouse in Daine Avenue, Rackhouse. A couple of years later Noel Timpson, of Timpson Shoes, purchased two ex-WW2 Nissen huts and sited them within the farmhouse grounds.

Promotion was gained in May 2018 when the FA allocated the first team to a restructured North West Counties Football League. This meant that the club was competing at semi-professional level for the first time, they finished a creditable fourth in the First Division South in their first season.

In 2019 the first team returned to the national stage when they re-entered the FA Vase. The following season 2020-21, they made their debut in the FA Cup, in the Extra Preliminary Round beat Shelley at home 4-2 in a memorable penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in 90 mins, exited in the Preliminary Round v. Trafford at home 1-4.

The first full season, 2021-22, following two coronavirus pandemic hit seasons, they reached the NWCFL Division One South play-offs, losing to FC Isle of Man in the semi-finals.
They improved on that the following season, 2022-23, arguably the clubs most successful, with a first team double, winning automatic promotion to the Premier Division by becoming champions, their first ever semi-professional title, then adding the First Division Champions Cup, reserves won the Altrincham District FA Senior Cup, Sunday team champions of the Stockport Sunday League, Division Two. Junior section won a club record 13 trophies.

Sacha Lord, co-founder of the music festival Parklife and The Warehouse Project, in April 2023 joined the Board and installed as Chair in June. Barratt, appointed as Chair in 2019, remained on the Board as Vice-Chair.

In June 2023, the club changed its name, dropping ‘Amateurs’, becoming Wythenshawe Football Club, with the playing name Wythenshawe.
