    Postponed: Awards Day Sun 5th May @ Gigg Lane

    Unfortunately, due to the change in circumstances of accommodating the Big Screen event at Gigg Lane this weekend for the Play-Off Final screening, the club have had to make the tough decision to postpone the Awards Day this coming Sunday.

    The event preparations have been underway for some time and we are very sad to have to make this decision at such short notice. However, the logistics of putting on a large additional event this Saturday, has diverted resource which would have knock-on effects for the following day.

    A new date will be found during next week and communicated to supporters as soon as it is arranged.

    We apologise to all for the inconvience. Tickets will be refunded at this stage, so please look out for this in your email inbox if you have purchased your ticket.

    Play-Off Final Ballot For Tickets

    We head to Ericstan Park this weekend to take on Wythenshawe Town in the Play-Off Final of the NWCFL Premier Division. The winner takes their place in the Northern Premier League next season.

    Capacity is limited to 1,400, with only a small number of these tickets being made available to Bury supporters as we are receiving the minimum away allocation allowed. 

    The ballot will give preference to those who hold both a society membership and season ticket, so we are asking for you to claim the ballot ticket using the email address used for your membership and also enter information about your season ticket. It is one entry per person. Should we not receive enough ballots from that group we will move to the next on the priority list, but this is unlikely to happen.

    If anything changes and we receive more tickets we will work through the list and advise the next people drawn out of the ballot that they can get a ticket.
      To be included in the ballot for a ticket to this game, please enter your details for a free ticket here before Thursday 2nd May at 6pm. Those putting their name in this ballot will need to be able to travel to Gigg Lane on Friday 3rd May between either 10am-2pm or 4-7pm to pick up their ticket. To claim it you must bring proof of ID and your season ticket (either card or on your phone), plus card or cash for payment on collection.
      Supporters will receive physical tickets and the ballot tickets are not valid for entry. We are yet to be advised of the ticket prices.
      We will use a digital balloting system to randomly select the numbers.
      The ballot will be drawn on Thursday evening, with the lucky ticket holders being informed afterwards.
      REMINDER: Supporters signing up to this ballot must be to be able to collect their ticket from Gigg Lane on Friday 3rd May between either 10am-2pm or 4-7pm. Please only sign up if this is the case.
      Play-Off Final Ticket Ballot
    We appreciate that a lot of supporters will be left without a ticket, for various reasons across this process. However, considering both the capacity and ticketing limitations, alongside accomodating our large fanbase, this was the best solution we could find considering the timescales.
      Supporters who do not have a ticket should NOT be travelling to the game under any circumstances.

    Please access the game by the Live Stream broadcast made available by the club. Details on this below.

    Match Info: Charnock Richard (H), Tues 30th Apr, 7.45pm KO

    The play-offs it is, and after a long wait, it is Charnock Richard we face on Tuesday night for a place in Saturday’s final against either Wythenshawe Town or Padiham. With over 3,500 tickets gone and the South Stand almost sold out, it is going to be a cracker under the mid-Spring lights at Gigg Lane. Get on down to cheer the lads on, you can be the difference.

    It has been a long old wait since our game at Ramsbottom on the final game of the season, however tonight’s visitors have fitted in an extra four games in seven days, winning all four and seizing a place in the end of season showdown in the process.

    No doubt the Greens will be heading to Gigg Lane full of confidence, on the back of a good run and having been undefeated against the Shakers in all four encounters this season so far. The last game was in a completely different setting however, with Charnock visiting an empty Gigg Lane and left with a 2-2 draw as we saw out the second game of a two-game stadium ban.

    But we can expect a fiery atmosphere, as manager Dave McNabb is looking for a fast start and explaining that the lads go into the game in good spirits in his pre-match video which can be found below.

    In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, we go straight to penalties this evening!

    We have all four-sides of the ground open for the first time since 2019 for this clash, with no availability in the Main Stand, and South Stand set to be ticket only. Pay-on-the-gate turnstiles will be available in the Cemetery End. Get all your match information below.
      Pre-Match Interview – Dave McNabb
      In Opposition – Charnock Richard
    In 1933 the Chorley Sunday League became the Chorley Alliance League and a Charnock Richard village team was entered, but on the outbreak of the Second World War the league and team were temporarily suspended.

    At the end of the War, in 1945, the Chorley Alliance League was reformed along with Charnock Richard F.C. The team proved to be a tremendous success, eventually winning the league title in the 1947-48 season, losing only two games, and scoring 107 goals. This success prompted them to try and run two teams, but they ran into difficulties and the club closed at the end of the 1948-49 season.

    In 1955, under the leadership of Ron Wilcox, the present club was reformed, and once again played in the Chorley Alliance League.

    Charnock progressed to the North West Counties League in 2016-17 after finishing as runners-up in the West Lancashire League in the previous season and won promotion to the Premier Division of the NWCL in the first season when finishing runners up in Division 1. In the 21-22 season the club won the North West Counties League, League Challenge Cup.

    Last season, Charnock finished 11th in NWCFL Premier Division, making the play-offs this season with six straight wins, scoring 18 and conceding only two. Widemen, Nathan Nickeas and Rustam Stepans are ones to watch with 30 and 24 goals respectively this season.
