Club to launch Legends Wall
Brand new for the 2024/25 season is our Legends Wall, on the walkway between the South Stand and Manchester Road End, but first, we need your help.
We have 60 spaces to fill with posters of Bury Legends from years gone by.
Recently we installed, two posters at the ground with the club crest and a ‘Welcome to Gigg Lane’ message.
The club would like to open this up for fan suggestions as to who they would like to see on the wall.
Once the players have been chosen their will be an opportunity to sponsor each of the posters by purchasing this via TicketCo.
Fans have until 7pm on Sunday 21st July to suggest their favourite legends on the form below:

Following the deadline, we will then open sales to sponsor a poster, with the hope of them being in place for the opening home game at Gigg Lane.
Be #PartofIt, put your suggestions in above and let’s get our history displayed at Gigg Lane!

Casey Lynchey named as Community Development Officer
Bury Football Club is delighted to announce that from Monday 29th July, Casey Lynchey will take up the post of full time Community Development Officer. This role is a key element of the Club’s commitment to deliver its obligations to our town and the wider borough.
“I am honoured to be given the opportunity to take up this full time position and it is with immense pride that I will represent the club in this vital role, ensuring that we are at the centre of the community. There is so much opportunity to use the power of football and our badge to develop the community and a sense of pride in our borough,” remarked Casey.
Following a recruitment process completed at the end of May, five applicants were shortlisted for interview with Casey being a stand out candidate. An interview panel made up of Neil Sears (CEO of Bury FC), Darren Bernstein (Director of Football Supporters Society of Bury FC) and Tracey Flynn (Service Manager for Business & Growth, Bury Council) was convened to ensure that the Club’s key community partner was involved in the decision making progress.
Councillor Charlotte Morris, cabinet member for culture, the economy and skills said: “Casey has already done tremendous work in expanding the club into the community – what she’s done for women’s football in Bury is inspirational – and this will be boosted hugely with her new appointment. We all want more people to take up sport, whether for fun or competition, and make full use of the new facilities and 3G pitch being created at Gigg Lane.”
Casey will be known to many around the club, as in a voluntary capacity she has overseen the rebirth and growth of the Women’s section in the club, where there are now around 250 registered players and more recently has been integral to the development of Bury FC’s new youth teams. Furthermore, Casey has developed a men’s recreational programme and looked after numerous schools and mascots on a matchday down at Gigg Lane.
To add to her impressive track record of developing football in the town, she has 20 years’ experience in the education sector, most recently as a teacher and leader and she is completing a Masters degree in Elite Business Leadership. In addition she was the winner of BAME Project ‘Bury Women in Fitness’ Award – 2024, and the Manchester FA’s ‘Spirit of Grassroots Football’ Award – 2022.
Amongst Casey’s responsibility will be to liaise with a range of community organisations, attract funding for community projects, ensure that the usage of the 3G pitch is maximised and continue development of the women’s and youth side of the club.

Disciplinary Hearing Result
We are pleased to report that as a result of the work undertaken before and after the play-off final against Wythenshawe Town, the club will face no further sanctions. The suspended sanction put in place last year still remains a concern for us, and it does not expire until the end of September.
The club had been charged with failing to ensure spectators and/or its supporters (and anyone purporting to be its supporters or followers) conducted themselves in an orderly fashion under FA Rule E21 with four specific incidents of misconduct referenced, namely a pitch invasion, throwing plastic cups of liquid onto the pitch, use of pyrotechnics and fighting.
The club provided evidence of the significant efforts made in advance of the game to mitigate any crowd problems, and the firm and decisive action taken subsequently. This included engagement with opponents, local police and relevant footballing authorities in advance of the game, and the investigations and sanctions imposed on the supporters whose behaviour brought the charges against the club. Ground regulations and sanctions are posted around the ground outside turnstiles and available online by clicking the linked text.
The commission urged us to continue with these efforts into the new season and we will adopt a similar approach to the management of home and away games, accepting we can only advise other clubs as we are not the ultimate decision makers for their home fixtures.
