Our Women’s first team get their competitive season underway on Wednesday evening, with the visit of Salford City to Unsworth Cricket Club.
  Jason Jarrett’s side have had a positive pre-season campaign, with a good set of performances against a range of opposition.
  16 players have been retained from the previous management team last season, whilst new signings have included Mia Holden, Shellby Wolstencroft & Beth Powney.
  In Opposition – Salford City
The team was formed in the summer of 2018 and started life in the Greater Manchester Women’s Football League, the seventh tier of the women’s pyramid, winning the treble along the way.
  The league title was secured with an unbeaten campaign, as well as the GMWFL League Cup and the Division 1 Cup. Unfortunately, the only defeat of the season came in the last game, the Final of the Manchester FA Women’s Challenge Cup, when FC United of Manchester triumphed 4-0.
  In the 2019/20 season, they gained their second promotion in two years, to the North West Women’s Regional Football League Premier Division, the division they currently play in.
  Last season, the team finished 2nd place falling just eight points behind league leaders, FC United of Manchester, losing three games all season.
  In their opening game of the season on Sunday, they fell to a 2-0 defeat at home to Darwen.

Our FA Cup journey continues as head over to Charnock Richard this weekend for the first preliminary round tie at Mossie Park.
 
We overcame Uttoxeter Town in the last round, with a 4-1 win at Gigg Lane. Uttoxeter took the lead early in the first half from a deflected effort, before Lowe and Higgins took us into the break with a 2-1 lead. Further goals from Lowe (again) and a late Connor Comber penalty was enough to take us through in front of 2,900 supporters. Catch up with the highlights below:
    This first round tie was already drawn prior to the extra preliminary round, with either Charnock or Squires Gate awaiting the winners of the Gigg Lane tie. Charnock comprehensively dispatched Gate, smacking seven unanswered second half goals to set up this weekend’s tie.
 
We head back to Charnock in just 10 days time for our league fixture, with the Lancashire-based side sat in 7th and remain unbeaten so far with two wins and three draws from the opening five games. Last time out, they took the honours in the local derby at Burscough with a 2-0 win.
 
All your pre-match information is available below.
  In Opposition – Charnock Richard
In 1933 the Chorley Sunday League became the Chorley Alliance League and a Charnock Richard village team was entered, but on the outbreak of the Second World War the league and team were temporarily suspended. At the end of the War, in 1945, the Chorley Alliance League was reformed along with Charnock Richard F.C. The team proved to be a tremendous success, eventually winning the league title in the 1947-48 season, losing only two games, and scoring 107 goals. This success prompted them to try and run two teams, but they ran into difficulties and the club closed at the end of the 1948-49 season.
 
In 1955, under the leadership of Ron Wilcox, the present club was reformed, and once again played in the Chorley Alliance League.
 
Charnock progressed to the North West Counties League in 2016-17 after finishing as runners-up in the West Lancashire League in the previous season and won promotion to the Premier Division of the NWCL in the first season when finishing runners up in Division 1. In the 21-22 season the club won the North West Counties League, League Challenge Cup.

Last season, Charnock finished 11th in NWCFL Premier Division.

The process to elect the new board of the Football Supporters’ Society of Bury was opened on the 8th August 2023.
Independent election scrutineers Mi-Voice were appointed to run this process.
We have been notified by Mi-Voice that on Monday 14th August, information about the FSSB's election relating to specific members was posted online to an anonymous Twitter account. Issues relating to these individuals had already been identified and were being dealt with as part of establishing the electoral roll for the election.

The post represents a breach in the process that needs to be investigated further. It also calls into question the integrity of the election and any result that would have been declared.

As a consequence, Mi-Voice have temporarily suspended the elections process, pending an internal investigation into how the leak occurred.

A further statement will be issued once more information becomes available.
