    Volunteers Nominated at Manchester FA Awards

    We are delighted to confirm two of our volunteers have been nominated at the Manchester FA Grassroots Awards.
     
    Sam Harman has been nominated in the category of the Manchester FA Bobby Moore Award whilst Casey Lynchey has been nominated in the category of the Manchester FA Lioness Award.
     
    The prestigious Bobby Moore Award is reserved for the volunteer who best represents the heart and soul of volunteering in grassroots football, whilst the Lioness Award recognises an individual or group who has created new opportunities in the female game and has had a big impact in their community, on and off the pitch.
     
    Sam is the club’s Volunteer Co-Ordinator, she manages our large and growing band of volunteers to help out in various roles in fundraising and administration as well as various roles on Matchdays. She has taken responsibility for ensuring that we have sufficient volunteers for such roles as security, merchandising, half-time draw ticket sales, programme sales. Sam has also taken on a role of encouraging new volunteers and retaining our valuable existing volunteers.
     
    Whilst Casey has been an active member as the Head of Women’s Football on the Football Board of Bury FC. She has taken responsibility for the creation and administration of up to seven Bury FC Women’s Team (including our promotion-winning Bury FC Women’s First Team) leads in the club’s participation in #HerGameToo and has taken responsibility for ensuring a positive matchday experience for numerous excited mascots. She’s recently been appointed as the club’s Community Development Officer, a new role in which she looks after all community aspects of the club including the new artificial pitch.
     
    CEO, Neil Sears commented on the nominations: “We are delighted to have Bury FC represented by Sam and Casey at these prestigious awards.  To reach the final 3 in each category is a tremendous accomplishment and fully deserved achievement by both women.
     
    “Sam and Casey embody everything that Bury FC is about, Casey recently was appointed as our community development officer as well as her continued work being Head of Women’s football.  Casey has worked tirelessly and also commits many hours of volunteering to the football club. 
     
    “Matchdays simply wouldn’t happen without Sam Harman, she is passionate and leads a large team on a matchday and is always there for many volunteers providing support whenever it’s needed. 
     
    “We as a club will be in attendance at the awards hopefully watching Sam and Casey bring home the awards.”

      Island Customs
    We have been passed advice from the local police in Douglas to inform supporters on customs on the island ahead of our trip to the Isle of Man.

    Laws on the island are different to those in the UK and the local police’s tolerance to public disorder is lower than that in the UK. Abiding to police instruction at all times is necessary. Arrests will be made where deemed necessary, and this will lead to summons in court.

    We wish supporters a great time on the island during your visit, but please be aware at all times about the point above. We wish to leave a positive lasting impression on the island, and request and appreciate your cooperation in doing so. Get behind Dave McNabb and the lads, they need you to bring home the points!

    Legends Q&A: Mark Carter

    Mark Carter is our guest for tonight’s fixture with South Liverpool, Pete Cullen looks back on his career.

    It was surely one of the best ever £6,000 that Bury Football Club spent when they paid that modest amount to bring Mark Carter north to Gigg Lane in September 1993.  Spike was already approaching 33 at the time but having been introduced to the professional ranks relatively late in his career, he certainly grasped his perhaps unexpected chance.
     
    Starting out on the books of Liverpool as a teenager, he moved into the local non-league scene with today’s visitors South Liverpool, Bangor City and most prolifically at Runcorn.   Barry Fry then took Spike to Underhill in February 1991 and he helped Barnet gain promotion into the Football League the following May.  He scored 34 league and cup goals in his first full season there and 14 in his second, which prompted Mike Walsh to secure the striker’s services.

    He was an immediate success with the Shakers and bagged 20 goals in his debut season. The following year he claimed 15 goals as the  Shakers earned a Play-off place, and he played in that heartbreaking 2-0 play-off final defeat at Wembley in May 1995.   He remained an immediate choice in the team once Stan Ternent took over as Bury boss and scored 18 goals as the Shakers were promoted from Division Three in 1996.  The goals kept coming too as Bury made it back-to-back promotions and Spike played in 30 league games as Ternent’s boys claimed the Division Two Championship and a shot in what is now the Championship. 

    Playing colleagues used to relate stories about how laid-back Spike was before a game, just sitting doing a crossword in the corner of the dressing room right up to kick-off time, but he always delivered and contributed greatly in what was one of the most successful periods in the club’s more recent history. 62 league goals in 134 games is a fantastic ratio by anyone’s standards.

    Welcome back Spike.
