    Match Info: Avro (A), Sat 17th Aug, 3pm KO

    Wow! Bury go into their FA Cup preliminary round match at Avro on Saturday with confidence sky high after a thumping 7-1 league victory at Abbey Hey on Tuesday.
     
    The Shakers needed a good performance after the tame home draw against Irlam at Gigg Lane last weekend. And they lived up to their nickname with six goals in an amazing second half.
     
    The goal-fest began with a rapid-fire hat-trick in 10 minutes from Reuben Jerome, followed by goals Rustam Stepan (71), Cameron Fogarty (80) and Efe Ambrose (92).    
     
    There was little warning of what was to come in the first half, when Bury’s dominance was rewarded by just one goal from Bebeto Gomes on 13 minutes.
     
    The victory keeps them just two points behind leaders Charnock Richard, and gives them a goal difference of 10 – not bad after just four league games!
        In Opposition – Avro

    Avro FC have won one and lost one of their first two games in the  Northern Premier League West Division. After a 1-0 victory at home to Atherton Collieries on Saturday they lost by the same score at Wythenshawe Town on Tuesday. There was a touch of irony there, because Town were promoted last season via the NWCL premiership play-offs at Bury’s expense.

     
    This is the Oldham club’s second season in the NPL. They started life in 1936 at the Failsworth factory of aircraft builder A V Roe. The club joined the Manchester League in 1954. They were promoted to the league’s Premier Division exactly half a century later. They topped the division in 2010 and held on to the title in the following season.
     
    A big step forward came in 2017 when they left their Failsworth base and moved to a newly-built stadium in Oldham. For several years they shared the ground – now called the Vestacare Stadium – with the Oldham rugby league club. It has a 4G artificial turf pitch.

    In 2018, Avro were promoted to the North West Counties League Division One North, and the following year went up to the Premier Division after finishing second.

    How did you come to support the club?  Did your parents / grandparents support Bury? What was your first ever match?  What are your best memories of supporting the Shakers?  What does the club mean to you and your family?
     
    These memories and stories  will be included in a booklet  which will be available for everyone to read at an exhibition “Going To The Match” which will be held at the Art Museum from 4th October 2024 through to 1st March 2025.

    The exhibition will focus on football fans and will include iconic photographs of football fans from various north-west clubs, including Bury, Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton, Liverpool, Oldham and Bolton.  There will also be various interesting Bury FC historical and fan-related items on display at the exhibition.
