    Match Info: Padiham FC (A), Tues 30th Jul, 7.45pm KO

    It was all-square at Squires Gate over the weekend in a high-scoring affair at a sold out Brian Addison Stadium with each side finding the back of the net four times and both sides leaving their first game of the season with a point.

    Goals for the Shakers came from Iyrwah Gooden, Bryan Ly and Rustam Stepans who all opened their club accounts as the spoils were shared following a baking day in the sun on the coast.

    Highlights and post match interviews from our Analyst Chris Watts, stepping in for Dave McNabb who accompanied Bryan Ly to a local hospital, and defender Lewis Earl are available to view below.

    Our attention now switches to Tuesday night’s trip into Lancashire and Padiham for our second outing of the new season.

    Last time we met our hosts at the Ruby Civil arena it was early on in the last campaign with The Shakers coming away with all three points. Padiham would return the favour as we met them at Broadhurst Part in the return fixture, denting our hopes of grabbing the promotion spot as we headed into the final league game in April.

    Matchday and ticketing information for Tuesday night’s game is listed below and we look forward to seeing as many Shakers there as possible.
            In Opposition – Padiham FC
    It might be hard to imagine today but in the immediate years following the establishment of Padiham Football Club in November 1878 the `Caldersiders` as they were then known were considered one of Lancashire`s soccer pioneers and one of the better Club sides in England.

    Full details on Padiham’s history can be found at the NWCFL website here.
    Padiham returned to the North West Counties Football League for the 2000/2001 season, winning the Premier Division Title in 2012/13 to gain promotion to the Northern Premier League, where they spent two seasons before being relegated back to the North West Counties Football League for the 2015/16 season.

    Last season, the Storks grabbed the final play-off spot before losing at the semi-final stage to Wythenshawe Town. They started their campaign with a 2-2 draw against Litherland on Saturday, taking an early two-goal lead before a come back from the Merseyside outfit grabbed a share of the spoils.

    Anne Bent: A Tribute to a Devoted Bury FC Fan and Volunteer

    With profound sadness, we have learnt of the passing of Anne Bent, a beloved member of the Bury FC community. Anne's unwavering passion for Bury FC and her countless hours of dedicated volunteer work at the club has left an indelible mark on all who knew her.
    Anne was the epitome of what it is to be a Shaker: selfless in her volunteering, measured in her views, and passionate about the club she loved. 
    Anne's dedication to Bury FC went beyond just being a loyal fan. She volunteered her time and energy to the club, working tirelessly to support the team and its community. Whether she was organising events, cleaning up at games, or simply offering a warm smile and a helping hand, Anne's contributions were invaluable and greatly appreciated by all.
    Anne's selflessness and commitment earned her a special place in the hearts of fellow fans, volunteers, players, and staff. She was not just a volunteer but a pillar of the Bury FC family, known for her kindness, generosity, and unwavering support.
    Anne Bent's legacy will live on in the hearts of those she touched and in the stands of Gigg Lane, where her spirit will forever be a part of Bury FC. Rest in peace, dear Anne. You will be missed but never forgotten.

    Junior Shakers – Badge Design Competition

    We are delighted to soon be launching ‘Junior Shakers’, a club membership scheme for our youngest fans. As well as a host of bespoke merchandise and other membership benefits, our Junior Shakers will all be given the opportunity to be a mascot at one of our men’s or women’s home games at Gigg Lane this season.
     
    To launch the scheme we are running a badge design competition and you can find entry details and a design sheet below. The winning badge will then be used on our Junior Shakers merchandise and the winner will also receive a child’s season ticket for Gigg Lane for the coming season.
     
    Please note, this is now the only way to mascot at Gigg Lane. We have been asked about creating a paid mascot opportunity, but have decided we want to give as many children as possible the opportunity to mascot and feel that the annual membership fee of just £30 for Junior Shakers offers excellent value for money.
     
    Local junior football teams and school teams and classes will still be given the opportunity to be flag-bearers at our men’s or women’s games at Gigg Lane and interested managers or teachers can contact our new community development officer to arrange this and join a waiting list for a place (at; communityofficer@buryfc.co.uk).


    Initially, teams and schools who have not already been flag-bearers or mascots at Gigg Lane over the past year will be offered this opportunity. All mascots and flag-bearers will be given free entry to Gigg Lane on the day, but must be accompanied by a fully paying adult if they are under the age of 13.
     
    Once we have chosen our newly designed badge, we will be releasing details of how to join the scheme via our website and a link to the online sign up.

    Update on Matchday Hospitality

    Today’s news brings some changes to how matchdays operate at Gigg Lane, alongside some fan feedback which we very much appreciate:
     
    Any fan who has purchased a season ticket (regardless of which stand) can enter Starkies from 12:30pm (opening a hour earlier that last season) and during the game as long as they have purchased a Starkies pass (This is now available as a game by game pass, click here) This is a change to last season in which only people who had a main stand ticket could access Starkies before and during the game.
      After taking fan feedback and in line with  our ambition to grow junior numbers, Starkies pass for Under 16s is now free of charge, those who purchased one will be refunded automatically.
      Fans can purchase a Starkies match pass for £7 per game, (these will be available on TicketCo up to the day before a game) which includes a match programme, a pie, and now added to this is Q and A with a Bury Legend (subject to availability).  We are delighted to announce David Lee will be joining us for the first home game!
