We are pleased to report that as a result of the work undertaken before and after the play-off final against Wythenshawe Town, the club will face no further sanctions. The suspended sanction put in place last year still remains a concern for us, and it does not expire until the end of September.
The club had been charged with failing to ensure spectators and/or its supporters (and anyone purporting to be its supporters or followers) conducted themselves in an orderly fashion under FA Rule E21 with four specific incidents of misconduct referenced, namely a pitch invasion, throwing plastic cups of liquid onto the pitch, use of pyrotechnics and fighting.
The club provided evidence of the significant efforts made in advance of the game to mitigate any crowd problems, and the firm and decisive action taken subsequently. This included engagement with opponents, local police and relevant footballing authorities in advance of the game, and the investigations and sanctions imposed on the supporters whose behaviour brought the charges against the club. Ground regulations and sanctions are posted around the ground outside turnstiles and available online by clicking the linked text.
The commission urged us to continue with these efforts into the new season and we will adopt a similar approach to the management of home and away games, accepting we can only advise other clubs as we are not the ultimate decision makers for their home fixtures.

In May 2023, we sadly lost our very own Amanda ‘Mandy’ Freeman.
A supporter of Bury for many years, she was always keen to support the club in as many ways as she could.
Following her passing, her friends and the wider club volunteers came together to sponsor the number six home and away shirts in her name.
This is being continued for the 2024/25 season in the means of a raffle.
Volunteer Co-ordinator, Sam Harman said: “When Mandy passed away, her friends and fellow volunteers decided to ensure we would keep up with her shirt/player sponsorship that Mandy did for her and her dad. The plan was, to each year raffle off the signed shirts, so that her and Keith’s sponsorship would be renewed.
“Both Mandy and Keith were avid Bury fans and it would be greatly appreciated if you could show your support with this.”
Fans can purchase a ticket for £5, with the aim to raise the £160 required to be able to sponsor the shirt.
The winner of the raffle will receive the number six shirts at the end of the season, signed by all players.
