Four points from a win and a draw; two goals scored – both by central defenders – and only one conceded.
Now it’s on to the Emirates FA Cup against opponents from the same league. It’s early days, but so far we and Celtic have identical records – a win and a draw – so a highly competitive clash is guaranteed.
It was a tough game at Avro on Wednesday. Both teams had chances to clinch it, and by the end of the season it will probably look to have been a good result for us.
And those missed chances? They’ll just incentivise our top-class players as they go into this next game. So head for Stalybridge and encourage the lads to more Cup heroics.
Up the Shakers!
In Opposition – Stalybridge Celtic
Celtic trace their history back to 1909 and have long been a strong non-league side in this part of the world. They have many successes to their credit – not least twice getting through to the FA Cup second round proper.
They were sixth in the league last season, and have made a decent start to the new season. They drew 1-1 at Vauxhall Motors on Saturday, and despite not being on top of their game won 1-0 at home to Atherton Collieries on Tuesday.
Former Shakers Ruben Jerome, Jordan Butterworth, Jack Tinning, Charlie Doyle and Andy Scarisbrick are all within the Stalybridge Celtic playing squad.

Newcastle Town gave us a thorough examination, and we passed. Although we won by only one goal, there could – and arguably should – have been others.
It will be a different story at Avro. Their tactical approach will be to attack rather than defend. But we can have every confidence in our back line, which performed well in the pre-season matches and against Town.
Almost exactly a year ago, we beat Avro 2-1 at the Vestacare in the FA Cup preliminary round. That alone will provide them with ample motivation to go all out for a win on Wednesday.
It’s not difficult to get to the Vestacare by car or public transport, so we urge our amazing and famously enthusiastic fans to get there and be part of it. Early season points seem to be worth double as time goes on, so let’s get behind the lads. Up, up, up the Shakers!!!
In Opposition – Avro
Avro started their third season in the NPL with an away fixture at Stafford Rangers, and won 2-0.
In 2024-25, they had what they regarded as a good season, and finished in seventh place. Like us, in the close season they focused on strengthening their squad, and feel they succeeded by signing several young players. The youngsters have already shown “hunger, enthusiasm and raw talent”, according to chairman Rob Fuller.
Launched in 1936 as a works team for aircraft manufacturers AV Roe, the club moved in 2017 from their ground in Failsworth to the new Vestacare stadium.
Admission & Tickets
This fixture is ALL TICKET. Please click here to purchase your tickets. Tickets will be on sale until 1pm on Wednesday afternoon.
To ensure crowd management and safety throughout the stadium, soft segregation measures will be implemented for this fixture. This will help us effectively manage capacity across different areas of The Vestacare Stadium while maintaining the excellent atmosphere both sets of supporters are known for.

Parking Facilities: Limited parking facilities are available at The Vestacare Stadium on a first-come, first-served basis. The car park will open at 5:30pm, shortly before the turnstiles become operational. Given the expected high attendance for this fixture, we strongly encourage supporters to arrive early to secure parking spaces.
When our stadium car park reaches capacity, we respectfully request that supporters refrain from parking along White Bank Road. This consideration helps maintain smooth traffic flow throughout the surrounding area and prevents congestion that could impact local residents and emergency services.
For those parking in the surrounding residential areas, we ask that you park responsibly and show respect for our neighbours. Please ensure you do not block driveways, gates, or restrict access for local residents.
The Vestacare Stadium typically operates an ANPR system within the car park. However, for this particular fixture, the ANPR system will not be in operation, providing more flexible parking arrangements for supporters.

There’s every indication that we’re ready to compete at this level. The pre-season was designed to test our credentials. It did, and we more than survived.
Now it’s the real thing, and we’re all set to take on teams more experienced, better organised and more powerful than those we faced in 2024-25.
But we have many strengths: retention of a good proportion of last season’s hugely successful squad; excellent recruitment in the close season; fine pitch-side leadership; a thriving club backed big-time by the local community; and last but not least that massive fan base.
We all know what our aim is, so let’s get off to a flying start. Be there, pack the seats, and let the noise be heard far and wide. Come on you Shakers!!!
In Opposition – Newcastle Town
New league, new challenges. But we start at Gigg Lane. Having such a fan base is a terrific advantage, but it means every team will again come to Bury looking for a big scalp.
Town finished 16th out of 22 teams in NPL Div1W last season. They make the journey from North Staffordshire on the back of a 4-0 Emirates FA Cup game win at home against Stourport Swifts, of the Midland League Premier Division.
Their home is the Lyme Valley Stadium and their history goes back to a Sunday league team in 1964 via a 1986 merger with Parkway Clayton.
Free Entry for Morecambe FC Fans
We invite all Morecambe supporters to join us at Gigg Lane this Saturday.
Whether you’re in need of a temporary football fix, a place to feel connected, or simply want to enjoy a matchday with fellow fans who understand—our gates and hearts are open to you.
Show your Morecambe FC season ticket or wear your Morecambe FC badge with pride at our turnstiles for FREE entry.
We will also be holding a bucket collection for the Shrimps Trust, all around the ground.
On the Day & In the Ground
Our Matchday @ Gigg guide is available to read to find out everything you need to know going on in and around the ground.
Tickets are still on sale via our ticketing page on our website. Pay on the gate will also be available.
Starkies will be open at the normal time of 12.30pm for supporters to access from the Manchester Road End entrance before kick-off. This will be on a first-come, first-served basis up to capacity, which will be managed on the door. Starkies will remain open throughout the game (for those in the main stand only) as well as after the game.
