Match Info: Glossop North End (H), Saturday 29th July, 3pm KO

Match Info: Glossop North End (H), Saturday 29th July, 3pm KO

It’s the day we’ve all been waiting for – men’s football returning to Gigg Lane for the first time in four years!
 
By the time Saturday comes around it will have been 1,547 days since Bury FC’s last competitive fixture at Gigg Lane – a 1-1 draw against Port Vale. Jordan Rossiter scored the last competitive goal that day, but who will score the next? Hopefully we’ll find out this weekend…
 
This match information pack is designed to offer you all the information you need ahead of what will be a historic afternoon.
  In Opposition – Glossop North End
The club was founded in 1886 and joined the North Cheshire League four years later. Glossop spent two seasons each in The Combination and the Midland League, before moving to North Road and being elected into the Football League Second Division in 1898. Having been promoted in the 1898–99 season, they spent one season in the First Division. During this period the club was bankrolled by Sir Samuel Hill-Wood, who was later to become chairman of Arsenal. The club retains some connections with Arsenal. Glossop were relegated in 1900 and spent the next fifteen seasons in the Second Division, before exiting the Football League during World War I.
 
Post-war, they spent 1920 to 1957 in the Manchester League, being crowned champions in 1927–28. They moved from the Lancashire Combination back to the Manchester League in 1966, and then spent four seasons in the Cheshire County League from 1978 before the North West Counties was formed in 1982 in which Glossop were founder members, they had a 33-year stint in the league before winning the Premier Division title at the end of the 2014–15 campaign. They were beaten finalists in the FA Vase in 2009 and 2015.
 
In April 2023 GNE were relegated from Step 4 after a period of eight years, ending manager Stuart
Mellish’s two-year stint at the helm. Michael Worthington was appointed as manager in the summer of 2023 as the Hillmen head into their first season back in the NWCFL.
  Tickets
Tickets are now on sale for Saturday’s game against Glossop North End!
  Buy Tickets HERE   We are able to operate at full capacity in the South Stand & East Stand (Cemetery End). These two stands alone give us a capacity of well over 5,000.
  The Manchester Road End will remain closed. We are awaiting confirmation on what capacity the North (Main) Stand can operate at, but we know it will not be at full capacity, so we have elected to put tickets for the South Stand on sale now rather than delay sales further.
  We are at capacity in the 1885 Suite after strong season ticket sales for that space so are unable to offer further hospitality tickets for this game.
  For now, we will make the South Stand ticket only, and leave the Cemetery End as the pay-on-the-turnstile option. This makes it far easier to manage numbers for our volunteer turnstile operators.
  Season ticket holders may choose any available stand. Should the South Stand look like it will sell out then we will release tickets for the Cemetery End also, by which time we should have more information on the Main Stand numbers.
  We know this will be a well-attended game and many supporters will want to guarantee their place by purchasing a ticket in advance. Tickets are strictly unreserved seating ONLY.
  Prices: £10 adult, £5 16-18, £3 Under 16s & Free for Under 5s.
  Click here to purchase online tickets. Read here on how to access your tickets digitally.

  Keep #GiggGleaming: With so much work gone into Gigg Lane to get us to this point, we want to keep it that way and a lot of work goes into turning the ground around between games each weekend. We have a team of volunteers lined up to clean the stands following the game.
  With this in mind, we urge all supporters to make sure any rubbish is processed in the correct manner, using the available bins where necessary, or if possible please take any rubbish away with you.
  #NonLeagueDogs: For now, dogs are NOT permitted in the ground.

Tickets Now Available For Opening League Fixture

Tickets Now Available For Opening League Fixture

We are now able to confirm ticketing for this Saturday’s fixture against Glossop North End.

      We know this is a little more complicated than is ideal, but this game in particular will be especially well attended so we want to offer an advance ticket option rather than leave anything to chance. We do anticipate future games will be easier to manage as we will understand better where season ticket holders prefer to sit and will have plenty of room to accommodate everyone.
  We strongly recommend purchasing a ticket in advance to avoid disappointment and queues. It also helps us plan our resources better.
  We’d like to thank Bury Council amongst others for their help and support in opening up the stadium to greater numbers to allow as many people as possible to enjoy the occasion.
  Tickets are now on sale, click here to purchase yours ahead of a historic occasion on Saturday.

Physical season cards can be picked up from the Gigg Lane Ticket Office for supporters who purchased ahead of the 2nd July deadline. For ticket office opening times, select here.
 
General admission tickets for this weekend, and other games, are currently being confirmed and will be communicated to all shortly. We have provided details on how you access your tickets below.
 
Accessing your ticket digitally
We partner with TicketCo for online ticket distribution and encourage supporters to purchase these wherever possible, as this assists us in planning for a match day. Supporters will be able to buy tickets for all club events and programmes via this platform from the club website here.
 
Whether you have bought a season ticket as a physical card or not, you can always get access to the games by presenting your TicketCo QR code at the turnstile for an operator to scan – this can be digitally on a smart phone or via a print out of your QR code. The QR code on a physical season card is a replica of that presented within the TicketCo app or on your TicketCo PDF receipt which was sent via either email or SMS message at the point of order. This can only be used once on each match day.
 
You can also download the ticket to your phone’s Wallet or Passbook.
 
Full details on all this can be found on the TicketCo website here.

Creating A Safe Environment For Supporters

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.
Tuesday 7.45pm: Nelson v Bury
We’ve added an extra friendly at short notice to allow some players to top up their minutes ahead of Saturday’s season opener against Glossop on Saturday.
We haven’t yet put tickets on sale for Glossop just yet as we will discuss next week what stands can be opened and what capacity limits we will be working under for this first fixture which is likely to be very well attended.

We will put them on sale as soon as this has been confirmed.
Collect Your Season Ticket
The ticket office at Gigg Lane will be open Monday to Wednesday this week, from 10am to 12 noon for season ticket card collection.
Please remember that cards are only available if purchased prior to Sunday 2nd July 2023. All season tickets purchased after that date will be digital ONLY.
Further collection times are to be arranged and will be communicated
To allow us to give you your card please bring the following with you:
The email or text showing proof of purchase; The name of the person who bought the ticket; and The five letter season pass reference code e.g. WSXCL which was sent in the confirmatory text or email you will have received after purchase.
More information on this, including where you can find your five letter season pass reference code, is available via the button below.
