    Welcome to Bury: Lewis Alessandra

    We are delighted to announce the signing of forward Lewis Alessandara

    The 35-year-old joins the club after playing for Hyde United this season.

    Born in Heywood, he came through the ranks of local side Roach Dynamos before joining Oldham Athletic.

    Morecambe, Plymouth, Notts County & Carlisle United are also amongst his former clubs.

    He made 43 appearances for Hyde United last season in the Northern Premier League.

    Manager, Dave McNabb commented on the signing:

    “Lewis Alessandra is a player who I’m sure many of the fans will be familiar with having spent much of his career in the football league. Lewis has had an unbelievable career and will add some much needed experience to the squad.

    “A forward player who is extremely intelligent with his movement and a real eye for goal. I was very impressed with his hunger and desire to play for Bury and fulfil an ambition that almost came true around 9 years ago.”

    Match Info: Irlam (H), Sat 7th Aug, 3pm KO

    This is it! Bury at last play on Gigg Lane’s amazing new 3G synthetic pitch at 3.00pm on Saturday. And that great old ground will be bouncing! Don’t miss it!!!

    Click here to get your tickets!!

    After seven successive away games, we look forward to a performance of high-calibre against visitors Irlam following a high-scoring start to the season.

    And fans will be hoping manager Dave McNabb’s line-up includes 19-year-old winger Alex Cherera, who scored a stunning hat-trick in the FA Cup last weekend.

    The goals played a big part in Bury’s 4-2 extra preliminary round victory at Congleton, which followed a crushing 5-1 league win at Padiham four days earlier.

    These successes made up for the dramatic but equally disappointing 4-4 draw at sunny Squires Gate, which kicked off our season in the NWCFL Premier Division two weekends ago.

    Now – after a total of seven successive away games – the team at last gets to play on that shiny new surface which has so expertly been constructed since the grass Gigg Lane pitch was ripped up in May. Come on you Shakers!!!

    Following Saturday’s cup win against Congleton, we caught up with Dave McNabb & Alex Cherera – you can see those interviews below alongside match highlights.
            In Opposition – Irlam FC
    Irlam FC are a good side who had a major problem with consistency last season, finishing in 13th place in the NWCPL table. In a way, however, they were consistent – 15 matches won, 15 drawn and 15 lost.

    On their day Irlam can beat any team in the league. But so far this term they’ve played three and lost three, scoring only twice and conceding eight times.

    In the corresponding match last season, Irlam lost 3-0, but they won 1-0 at the RG3 Digital Stadium in March as the Shakers hit a rocky patch. Declan Daniels, one of Bury’s scorers in the Gigg Lane game, is now on Irlam’s books.

    The club started life as a works team. It traces is history back to 1935, entered the national league system in 2008/09, and is rooted firmly in the Irlam community.  Head here for Irlam history.

    Junior Shakers & Mascot Update

    Bury Football Club is extremely proud to announce the launch of ‘Junior Shakers’, our brand new club membership scheme for our youngest fans.
     
    We would like to thank everyone who entered our recent badge design competition, we had lots of fantastic entries, and it was difficult to choose one! Congratulations goes to 10 year old Harry Noone whose design was selected to be the official badge of our Junior Shakers. This has been digitally enhanced and sent to our manufacturers at Hope & Glory.
     

    You can now sign up for annual membership here: https://buy.stripe.com/28oeVmb7h76q2n6cMM
     
    Membership for the full year, beginning on the day you sign up, costs just £30 per member. As well as a whole host of bespoke merchandise and other membership benefits (see below for the full list), our Junior Shakers will all be given the opportunity to be a mascot at one of our men’s or women’s home games at Gigg Lane this season.
     

    Member packs will be ready for collection at home games from Gigg Lane by the end of the month. If you do not live within the vicinity or want to join from further afield, email us to arrange postal delivery in the UK or abroad (extra charges will apply). Once you have signed up, you will be contacted to arrange a suitable date to be a mascot during the season.
     
    BURY FC JUNIOR SHAKERS BOOKLETDownload
    Please note, this is now the only way to mascot at Gigg Lane. We have been asked about creating a paid mascot opportunity but have decided we want to give as many children as possible the opportunity to mascot and feel that the annual membership fee for Junior Shakers offers excellent value for money.
     
    Local junior football teams and school teams and classes will still be given the opportunity to be flag-bearers at our men’s or women’s games at Gigg Lane and interested managers or teachers can contact our new community development manager to arrange this and join a waiting list for a place (at communityofficer@buryfc.co.uk).

    Initially, teams and schools who have not already been flag-bearers or mascots at Gigg Lane over the past year will be offered this opportunity. All mascots and flag-bearers will be given free entry to Gigg Lane on the day but must be accompanied by a full-paying adult if they are under the age of 13.
