Partner Programme – Bury Black Pudding Company

We are delighted to confirm Bury Black Pudding as a new Local Club Partner, as part of our partner programme.
 
  The Bury Black Pudding company was born in the early 00s, but had much heritage before that with the family of one of the company directors having the recipe in his family for over 100 years.

They produce over 100 tonnes of black pudding each week at their Bury-based factory.
 
Along the way, they have also listened to customers’ dietary needs and followed food trends, producing chilli, gluten free and vegetarian/vegan black pudding, all with the same health benefits our famous Bury Black Pudding has.
 
The Bury Black Pudding Company continues to go from strength to strength and are recognised as the UK’s leading retail black pudding brand. It’s products are not only enjoyed in this country, but exported around the globe where they are considered one of the truly great British food brands.
 
Matthew McDermid, Brand & Marketing Manager at Bury Black Pudding said: “We are incredibly proud to become Bury Football Club’s first local partner and to support our hometown club for the 2024/2025 season.

“As a company rooted in Bury, we are passionate about our community, and this partnership reflects our commitment to standing by the club. We’re looking forward to an exciting season ahead and the opportunity to support Bury FC both on and off the pitch.”
 
Neil Sears CEO added: “We are delighted to welcome Bury Black Pudding as a local club partner on our partner programme. It was important to the club that we have strong links with the local community and this demonstrates the success we place on this part of our programme.

“We would like to thank Debbie Pierce and Richard Morris for the investment they have given to the club.  They employ more than 100 local staff and have the factory based in the heart of Bury, we would encourage all fans to get behind them and look forward to establishing a long partnership with them that sees them and Bury FC go from strength to strength.”

Match Info: Chadderton FC (H), Sat 19th Oct, 3pm KO

The Shakers face a tough third cup match in eight days, as they prepare to take on Chadderton in the First Round Proper of the Isuzu FA Vase this Saturday. The prospect of playing in the Wembley final is a great motivator. And it’s a match for which the battle at the top of the NWCFL is incredibly relevant.
 
Like the Shakers, Chadderton are having a great second season in the league. They are in second place, with 41 points from 19 games – five behind leaders Ramsbottom, having played two fewer games.
 
Bury – fourth, with 32 points from 14 games – beat Chadderton 3-1 under lights at Gigg Lane little more than two weeks ago. Scorer Bryan Ly, was Man of the Match just days after his dramatic late FA Cup penalty beat Radcliffe. The other goals came from Lewis Alessandra and substitute Cam Fogerty.
 
It will be good to be at Gigg Lane on a Saturday for the first time in four weeks. We were drawn away for this tie, but work on the pitch at the Falcon Fire Stadium – where a 3G pitch is being installed – meant the game has been switched.
 
The last Saturday home game was our 3-0 defeat of Burscough, also in the Isuzu FA Vase – the leading knock-out competition for tiers 9 and 10. Get your match information below.
 
  In Opposition – Chadderton FC
Chadderton were founder members of the North-West Counties League in 1982, but it took them 41 years to reach the Premier Division.

They finally made it through the Division One North play-offs in 2023, and went on to reach a creditable seventh place in their first season.

They beat the Shakers 3-1 at Gigg Lane and 3-2 at Andrew Street last season, following a glut of late goal drama in both games.
The club traces its history back to 1946 and the launch of Burnley Lane Estate Juniors. It took its present name in 1957 and following a recent Premier League grant, and years of hard work, pitch redevelopments started in September this year to install a 3G pitch. This is due to be ready to play on in 2025.

Footage of the works is provided on the post to the right, with Chadderton playing all home games this season at alternative venues, including Gigg Lane already.

  The Two Tubs landlady Donna Haslam explained “The Borough of Bury has many veterans and the inclusion of them within the community of Bury FC will be an important factor in their on-going welfare.”
 
Community Officer Casey Lynchey added, “It’s great to see this come to fruition for the veteran community of the town. Working with a wide range of residents is part of the community strategy and I am hopeful that we can also provide some walking football opportunities for the group as well.”

New Signing: Patrick Jarrett

Bury Football Club are delighted to confirm the signing of midfielder Patrick Jarrett.
 
The 22-year-old has joined the Shakers after leaving Scottish’s side Queen’s Park in the summer.

Born in Nantwich, he spent two years at Nantwich Town before moving into the academy at Stoke City, playing for the clubs up to the Under 21s before moving to Queen’s Park in 2022.

Jarrett is a versatile player and can play across positions in midfield. He also offers great skill and has contributed a lot to creating chances at his former clubs.

Manager, Dave McNabb added: “We’re really excited to see Pat settle in and show what he can do. I first watched Pat three years ago when he was on loan at Nantwich and he was outstanding.

“He’s had some brilliant experiences since then playing at a really high level. I’m hopeful he can add to our midfield options and help push us on towards our goals for the season.”

Jarrett will go into tonight’s squad for the Manchester Cup game against Abbey Hey.

Match Info: Abbey Hey (A), Weds 16th Oct, 7.45pm KO

The FA Cup defeat at Harborough was a crushing blow, and ended our great run of 21 matches unbeaten in all competitions. But we’ve picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves down, and are all set for more cup action this week. First up are Abbey Hey, with Chadderton to follow in the Isuzu FA Vase at Gigg Lane on Saturday.
 
The Shakers go into the Abbey Hey game with a squad of players mainly from the Under-23 team. This gives the youngsters an opportunity to shine and provides a bit of a break for players who have given so much in a hugely demanding season.
 
The Under-23s are currently top of the 10-team Lancashire age-group league, with four wins out of four games played.
 
The Premier Cup is awarded by the Manchester FA. The holders, Ashton United, have won the competition – full title the Frank Hannah Premier Cup – more often than any other club: 16 times in its 90-year history.
    In Opposition – Abbey Hey
Abbey Hey made a reasonable start in their first season back in the NWCFL Premier Division after a break of five years, but have slumped in recent weeks. They are currently 10th in the league, six places below Bury, who have played five fewer games.
 
Our 7-1 win at Abbey Hey back in August was the Shakers’ biggest of the season so far. Abbey Hey’s 2-1 victory at Burscough on Saturday was only the second in their last six games.
 
The Gorton club reclaimed a place in the Premier Division by winning the 2023-24 play-offs in the league’s First Division South.
