Match Info: FC Isle of Man (H), Tue 4th Feb, 7:45pm KO

We welcome FC Isle of Man to Gigg Lane on Tuesday night, after the original fixture was postponed from January 11th as a result of the big freeze. We narrowly escaped defeat on the island back in September, but we come into the return fixture in great form.
 
Successive victories against Lower Breck at home and Barnoldswick Town and Stockport Town away have re-established our position as league leaders at the top of the table with 73 points from 34 games.
 
A key factor in this is the stunning form of striker DJ Pedro – 20 goals in 18 appearances since he joined us, initially on loan, from Buxton. DJ’s success reflects the performances of the whole squad.
 
Yes, we have had our moments – but the trajectory is clear. We’re more than aware that Ramsbottom are only one point behind us, followed closely by Lower Breck. And below them are no fewer than five other promotion hopefuls – including FC IoM.
 
That’s why every point is crucial, so all you Shakers’ fans…down to Gigg and support the lads with plenty of raucous noise. Up the Shakers!!!!
  View the post match media from our weekend’s win at Stockport Town including interviews with Dave McNabb & Cam Fogerty below.
    In Opposition – FC Isle of Man
The Ravens came into being only five years ago, with plans so impressive that they were accepted immediately into the NWCFL Division One South. Covid held them back for a year, but the league’s original decision was vindicated when they won promotion through the play-offs in their first season.
 
They made a good start this term. They defend robustly and – as we saw in September – are usually skilled in the art of game management. But their results have not been so good in recent weeks. They’ve won only two of their last six matches – a run which continued with a 1-1 home draw against Irlam on Saturday.

Match Info: Stockport Town (A), Sat 1st Feb, 3pm KO

After that great win at home to Lower Breck, we face a different kind of challenge – a team even newer to this league than we are, and packed with lively young players.


Lower Breck were beating everybody in sight, but we beat them in some style. The first half was probably our best 45 minutes of the season so far. Yes, we gave them a window of opportunity by sitting back at 3-1. But we made it, and overall were the better team by some distance.  


The last six weeks have been tough for our players and coaches as a result of illness and injuries in the squad and new signings and departures. We had one really bad day in South Manchester, but overall we’ve proved ourselves more than worthy title contenders.


We go to the Stockport Sports Village looking for a double – we beat them 2-1 at home in September – and with the memory of our performance last weekend still fresh in our minds. So, Shakers fans, hit the road. Be there! Be part of it! Be noisy! Up the Shakers!!!  
      In Opposition – Stockport Town
Town’s first season in the NWCFL Premier Division follows their promotion as Division One South runners-up. They’re doing well, sitting in 9th position and with a last six record of three wins, one draw and two defeats.


In contrast to Shakers, they go into this game after a home defeat. On Monday evening, two second-half goals gave sixth-placed Irlam victory after Town had taken the lead in the 19th minute.


This was disappointing for the club after their 2-1 win at South Liverpool last weekend, so they’ll very much want to bounce back.

Welcome to Bury: Aiden Walker

We are delighted to announce the signing of defender Aiden Walker from Farsley Celtic.
 
The 25-year-old who can play at both right back and centre back, started out at Barnsley before a move to Mansfield in 2019.
 
Walker picked up non-league experience in loan spells at Leek Town and Grantham Town during his time in the East Midlands.
 
In 2021, he joined NPL side Brighouse Town before a move to Guiseley in the summer of 2023, where he was a main stay in their defence playing 42 times in the league.
 
He made the move up to the National League North this season with Farsley Celtic, where he has made eight appearances, including in Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Warrington Town.
 
Speaking to buryfc.co.uk, Walker said: “‘I’m delighted to be here. It’s such a big club with great fans and I cannot wait to be playing in front of you all!

“I know what it means to the fans to get the club back to where it belongs, so I’m hoping to come in and help keep clean sheets and push towards getting promotion in what is going to be a tough but exciting end to the season.”

Welcome to Bury, Aiden!
