Nine games to go, and the run in has very much started – and started well. We go to South Liverpool’s Jericho Lane ground in a strong position after a run of six wins on the bounce.


We turned the tables on West Didsbury and Chorlton, and the 2-1 scoreline didn’t reflect our dominance for most of the game. Nevertheless it was sweet revenge for the result in the reverse game just a few short weeks ago.


What told in the end was the high quality and fighting spirit of our players. Josh Gregory’s superb equalising free kick and DJ Pedro’s clinical penalty winner were both of the highest class.


But there’s no room for complacency as Ramsbottom United and the rest of the top six continue to breath down our necks. So, travelling fans – let South Liverpool experience the power of the 12th man. Up the Shakers!!!
In Opposition – South Liverpool

Our opponents are struggling, and we can be sure they’ll be fighting for every point. This is their first season in the premier division, and losing their last five games on the bounce has left them in 21st place out of 24.


South joined the NWCFL three years ago and won the League One North play-off final against Ashton Town on penalties at the end of last season.


The club came into existence just 90 years ago this year and was relaunched in 1991. They’ve had the same manager – Martin Ryman – since the beginning of the third millennium.

Last Saturday we welcomed guests from English National Opera and Walk the Plank into Starkies Bar and onto the terraces at Gigg Lane.

Soprano Carrie-Ann Williams kicked a ball around with Ladies first teamers Georgia Payton and Holly Davenport and met club legend Nicky Adams, before serenading fans in the bar with some impromptu pre-match opera. Whilst we treated them to a fantastic home win. 


Called Perfect Pitch, the project aims to engage with football fans to explore the impact mass singing has on team performance and spectator experience. The team behind the project were blown away by the energy and enthusiasm of the Shakers fans and are bringing a mass choir to the fixture on 29th March vs Squires Gate to join in the chants and provide some half time entertainment. They hope that this will lead to a full outdoor mass participation spectacular later in the year. 



ENO and Walk the Plank are looking to engage with the club’s supporters to hear your experiences of supporting Bury and singing at the game. You may see them about the ground over the next month or so.

If you’d like to get involved please contact them at getinvolved@walktheplank.co.uk or contact our community officer Casey Lynchey at communityofficer@buryfc.co.uk.

People from across the local community are invited to the official launch of the Bury Sporting Memories Club, which is taking place at the Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre on Wednesday 26th February between 10:30am – 12pm.


Bury Sporting Memories is a weekly session run every Wednesday from 10:30am to 12pm at Gigg Lane, which welcomes older people aged 50+ to reminisce, replay and reconnect through the power of sport.


The club uses the power of remembering and talking about sport alongside physical activity to support older people aged 50+ to live better lives, including those living with dementia, depression, or living in isolation and lonely circumstances. 


It has been running since November and has been a great success so far with many older people from across Bury taking the opportunity to join the free sessions to chat about sport and get stuck into all the activities on offer.

 
The official launch has a special connection to a local sporting theme, with a football exhibition currently taking place at the Art Museum. People who attend the official launch will not see the impact that Sporting Memories is having on those that attend regularly, but they will also have the chance to view the famous LS Lowry painting ‘Going to the Match’ alongside other wonderful football memorabilia.


If you would like to find out more about how to attend the official launch on Wednesday 26 February at the Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre, Moss Street, Bury BL9 0DR, between 10:30am – 12pm, please contact Stefan via s.taylor@bury.go.uk.

Representatives of the club met with Ian Harrop on 15 February 2025 to discuss Ian’s ban from the hospitality areas of the stadium. In the interest of moving forward in a positive manner Ian was informed that he is now welcome to return to the hospitality areas of the stadium with immediate effect.


During the meeting Ian expressed concern about comments made regarding him on the usual social media platforms. As a club we do not condone the abuse of any individual, be that a board member, employee, volunteer or supporter.


The decision to impose the ban was not made pursuant to the club’s official sanction policy as the circumstances giving rise to it were outside the scope of the policy. As such, it has no impact on any stadium ban which has been imposed pursuant to the sanction policy, all of which remain in place on the terms notified to the individuals concerned.


The club and Ian have resolved the matter amicably and now regard it as closed.
