Following the success of ‘Walk This Way’ funded by Bury VCFA, we are happy to announce that our Women’s Walking Football is continuing at Gigg Lane and is now open to the public.

Walking football is a slower-paced version of the game designed to be fun, inclusive and accessible for all abilities and fitness levels. It’s a great way to stay active, improve wellbeing, meet new people, and enjoy being part of a community environment.

Community Development Officer [Hannah Brindle]:
“The project has gone really well, and we’ve seen a fantastic response from everyone involved. We’re delighted to be able to continue the sessions and want to keep building the group, giving more women the opportunity to get involved, stay active and enjoy football in a welcoming environment.”

Find out more about our project success story on the Bury VCFA news story page. Walk This Way: Women Step Into Football, Friendship and Fitness | Bury VCFA

Bury Football Club can confirm that Dave McNabb has departed his role as Head of Football, bringing to a close a significant chapter in his long-standing association with the Club.

A familiar and respected figure among staff, players, and supporters alike, Dave first took charge of first team affairs during a challenging and transitional period back in September 2023, with the Club in 10th place in the North West Counties Premier Division.

Stepping into the role of manager with professionalism and determination, he helped stabilise the football side of the Club and laid important groundwork during a time when unity and resilience were essential, leading the team to the Playoff Final.

In his first full season in charge, Dave built on that groundwork, starting with an FA Cup run that saw us pick up memorable victories away at Garforth Town, Blyth Spartans, and Radcliffe.

The early season form continued after the Christmas period, with the team winning 15 straight matches to clinch the North West Counties Premier Division title with 109 points in front of over 8,000 Shakers at Gigg Lane.
Following the start of life in the Northern Premier League West, Dave transitioned into a new role away from the management of the football club but continued to play a key role behind the scenes as Head of Football.

In this position, he was instrumental in shaping the Club’s structure, supporting player development pathways, contributing to the broader vision for long-term success, and playing a pivotal role in the appointment of Anthony Johnson as First Team Manager. His experience, leadership, and deep understanding of the game have left a lasting impact on the Club’s progression.

Everyone at Bury Football Club would like to place on record their sincere thanks to Dave for his dedication, hard work, and commitment throughout his time with us. His contribution both on and off the pitch will not be forgotten.

We wish Dave and his family all the very best for the future.

Bury FC are confirmed in the Northern Premier League Premier Division for 2026/27.


We are joined among the promoted clubs by fellow West Division side Avro, while Redcar Athletic and Emley step up from the East Division.

The new-look division sets up an exciting campaign for Bury supporters, with a mix of historic non-league names, local rivalries and ambitious clubs standing between the Shakers and another push up the pyramid.


The 22-team Northern Premier League Premier Division for 2026/27 will consist of: Alfreton Town, Ashton United, Avro, Bamber Bridge, Bury, Cleethorpes Town, Curzon Ashton, Emley, FC United, Gainsborough Trinity, Guiseley, Hyde United, Ilkeston Town, Lancaster City, Leek Town, Quorn, Redcar Athletic, Stockton Town, Warrington Rylands, Warrington Town, Whitby Town, Workington.


Another big step forward for the Shakers as preparations begin for a new challenge at Step 3.


We can’t wait to welcome supporters back to Gigg Lane for another huge season.
