    Junior Shakers Update

    We recently launched our Junior Shakers scheme for our youngest fans. This weekend we proudly welcomed some of our first members to the stadium to receive their gift pack, meet our mascot, Peeler, and take up the opportunity to be mascots for our Men’s and Women’s teams.
     
    Meanwhile we continue to offer local grassroots football teams the opportunity to be flag-bearers at our matches and you may well have seen them taking penalty kicks at half time on the pitch – a great experience for these local youngsters.
     
      Soon you will also be seeing our own Bury FC Juniors and community teams at match days as our club ‘Team of the Day’. As well as enjoying a match day experience, they will be doing a lap of honour at half time and we would encourage our fans to give them a warm reception on their way around the pitch as we show our appreciation for the children and adults who represent our club at all ages and levels.
     
    Additionally, our community officer Casey Lynchey alongside stadium volunteer and lifelong Bury fan, John Raftery, will be visiting local schools to celebrate all we are doing at Gigg Lane. John will be sharing his wisdom of the club in assemblies and Casey will be offering free coaching sessions. Alongside this offering we will be inviting schools down to watch a match at Gigg Lane and giving out free tickets for families. In the future, we are also planning school tournaments and opportunities for local school children to play on the pitch for free.
     
    To sign up to become a Junior Shaker to receive a goody bag, the choice of game to be a mascot at and other benefits, for just £30 per year, visit: https://buy.stripe.com/28oeVmb7h76q2n6cMM

    Match Info: Stockport Town (H), Tue 24th Sept, 7:45pm KO

    Shakers go into their midweek home game against Stockport cock-a-hoop after Saturday’s convincing 3-0 Isuzu FA Vase victory over Burscough.

    The result never looked in doubt after Reuben Jerome opened the scoring in the seventh minute. There were elements of luck in the goal, but it was reward for shrewd use of the long ball against a shaky defence.
     
    It was all over bar the shouting by half-time. Defender Ben Hockenhull notched the second from close range following a free kick in the 31st minute and Rustam Stepans grabbed the third goal and his ninth of the season four minutes later.
     
    The victory sees us through to the first round proper of the competition on October 19, when we face Chadderton. It takes our encouraging unbeaten start to the season to 16 matches.
     
    There were several changes in the Shakers line-up on Saturday, and expect more against Stockport Town as we look ahead to our massive FA Cup game at Radcliffe Borough on Saturday.
                In Opposition – Stockport Town
    This is Stockport Town’s first season in the NWCFL Premier Division following their promotion as Division One South runners-up for the second year running.


    They’ve made a decent start, winning six and losing five of their 13 matches and at the moment are in 10th position in the league table. After losing three games on the bounce to Abbey Hey (H) Burscough (H) and Chadderton (A), Town won their last three – at home to FC St Helens and Prestwich Heys and away at AFC Liverpool.


    The club was created in 2014, and after a season of matches against some decent sides was accepted into the NWCFL Division One South a year later. A new era began five years ago, when Town was bought by national coaching organisation the Pro Football Academy, which aims to nurture the talent of children aged 5-14.

    Radcliffe (a): More Tickets Available + Collection Update

    We have been informed this morning, that an extra 200 tickets have been made available to Bury fans ahead of this Saturday’s FA Cup fixture vs Radcliffe.

    Following feedback on the earlier two phases of the ticket release, we will distribute these 200 tickets to those who are season ticket holders AND members at 7pm tonight (Monday). We expect this allocation to be sold within this distribution.

    As identified on the ticket receipt, a digital ticket is required to be presented in exchange for an admission ticket supplied by Radcliffe. These tickets can be collected from Gigg Lane across the below time periods this week:
      Between 6.30 – 7.30pm on Tuesday evening (24th Sept) at our pop-up canopy in the car park, ahead of the Stockport Town game On reception 1.00 – 7.00pm on Thursday (26th Sept) On reception 1.00 – 5.00pm on Friday (27th Sept)   We’ve been made aware by several supporters regarding the request for carer tickets. For those who require a carers ticket, you will not be able to collect your ticket on Tuesday, and we request you attend one of the later slots in the week to collect. Please make sure you bring relevant documentation to collect a carers ticket. Due to our hosts not having a carers ticket category, these tickets will be chargeable at £15.

    Gigg Lane will be closed on Wednesday for works to the electrical systems, so no collections can be made on that day.

    If there are any ticket enquiries, these should be directed to our ticket email tickets@buryfc.co.uk.
