    New Sponsor: Wallwork Heat Treatment

    We are delighted to welcome Wallwork Heat Treatment as a new sponsor for the 2024/25 season.
     
    The Bury-based business has a sponsor board, formerly held by JD Sports in the Cemetery End as well as two banners on the front of the stadium.

    The company was founded by Robert Wallwork in 1959, after years of gradual expansion the company moved to the present head office in Lord Street, Bury in 1979.

    The Group employs approximately 300 people offering a comprehensive heat treatment & hard coating service to the manufacturing industry.
     
    In recent years the group has invested extensively in new equipment and training in order to offer a high quality, competitive service to the aerospace, motorsport and medical industries.
     
    Bury FC, CEO Neil Sears said: “We are delighted to welcome on board Wallwork as a new sponsor for the 2024/25 season.  Having been in Bury since 1979, the group itself employs over 300 people offering heat treatment to the manufacturing industry. This is another example of a local business getting involved with supporting getting Bury FC back to the EFL, we are looking forward to helping us achieve our goals.”

    Wallwork Group Director, Simeon Collins added: “I would like to say on behalf of Wallwork Heat Treatment, as a Bury business for the last 50 years with many Bury FC supporters, it’s a pleasure to be supporting the club on its new journey.”

    Match Info: Pilkington (H), Sat 2nd Nov, 3pm KO

    There are plenty of good reasons for every available Bury supporter to head to Gigg Lane for the match against Pilkington this weekend.

    The lead-up has been about as good as it gets: two away wins in five days and two clean sheets, followed by two training sessions in a rare week clear of matches.

    It’s likely that on-loan striker Djavan Pedro will make his first home appearance following his impressive debut at Colne.

    And then… you might just catch a glimpse of our old striking-hero Ryan Lowe – special guest in the hospitality venues. We might even get to sing his old Gigg Lane chant! Ryan Lowe…repeat and repeat!


    All our hopes for the trips to Colne and Charnock Richard were fulfilled, and the next aspiration is a third successive win with another clean sheet. Mitch Allen has been superb in goal, and thoroughly deserves the greeting he will get from the fans if we pull it off.

    We are 16 unbeaten in the league and look to start off the month of November with fireworks of our own. So…come on you (Shakers) fans, we will see you at Gigg Lane to be #PartofIt. Get all your pre-match information below.
      In Opposition – Pilkington
    Two wins in their last six games represents improvement for third-from-bottom Pilkington. Success against Colne and Charnock Richard and a draw with South Liverpool will have given morale a bit of a boost.

    The Greens are in their second season in the Premier Division after winning the Division One North title in 2023. Last season, we won 3-1 in the same fixture with late goals from Billy Reeves & Joe Hobson. Recap the highlights below.
       
    Check out Pilk’s history, from their breakdown available at the NWCFL website HERE. Ryan Beigan will be one to watch who has previously featured at Lower Breck, moving to Pilks in the summer and has eight goals so far this term.

    Next week Pilkington might fancy their chances a little more – they’re at home to our neighbours Prestwich Heys, who are having an even tougher time of it. But then a week later they face another daunting prospect…a visit to our other near neighbours and current league leaders Ramsbottom United.

    Legends Wall Update – October

    We’d like to provide a further update on our Legends Wall plans.
     
    We’re currently experiencing some technical issues with the imagery that we are planning to use on the legends wall, to get it up to the quality needed by the company printing these for us.
     
    Our Heritage Committee along with other volunteers from the club’s Media Team are working hard to get this processed as quickly as possible.
     
    As mentioned in the last update, we will open sales on each of the history panels once they have been designed. 
     
    We’re also extending the sponsorship length, initially set to two years, this will now be for the rest of the 2024/25 season and the two following seasons – 2025/26 & 2026/27.
     
    Thanks for your continued support for this project.

    Remembrance Service 2024

    Each year, we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country, sovereign, families and loved ones in order that we may live our lives in freedom and safety. It is important for us all to reflect on the lives lost, the families and friends affected and those who were injured whilst serving their country.
      As a mark of respect, ahead of our home game next Saturday against Pilkington, we will take a moment to remember all those brave men and women who have lost their lives in many conflicts and wars around the world and in service to our country at home. We owe them so much in countless ways.
      Especially poignant this year are memories of those who served in the D-Day landings of 1944 and the 25th anniversary of the end of the war in Bosnia and the Balkans where the British and NATO armed forces served with distinction in the Peace Keeping Force.
    Not only do we remember the armed services, the Army, Navy and RAF, but also the emergency services, Police, Fire and Rescue and Ambulance Services and all those who work within the NHS and social care and who serve to keep us safe.


    We also welcome special guests His Worship, the Mayor of Bury, Councillor Khalid Hussain, Lady Mayoress, Mrs Carol Bernstein and the Rector of Bury Parish Church, Reverend Julian Heaton.


    We are proud to launch the opening of our Veterans Bar for this fixture where service veterans will be able to gather together on match days and drop in sessions supported by The Two Tubs Public House and the landlady Donna Haslam. This will deepen our connection with veterans in the area which is so important to us as a club in a town with strong military connections. Saturday will be free of charge for all veterans, entry will be via the main reception on production of ID.


    We also remember those within the Bury FC family who have passed away. We particularly remember those who have passed away since our last memorial game. All those we have lost are missed by their fellow supporters, family and friends. Whilst their may be an empty seat, an unworn scarf or a missing click of the turnstile, each Shaker has made their own mark on the club, leaving their unique legacy and we remember them all with our own special memories.
     
    We are a town with a proud history of association with the Lancashire Fusiliers and the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and we continue the tradition of trooping the colour.


    We would ask supporters to be in their seats as early as possible for the remembrance service beginning ahead of kick-off.
