    New Catering Partner: The Difference Group

    We are delighted to announce a new catering partnership with The Difference Hospitality Group for the next six years at Gigg Lane.
     
    This is a fantastic partnership for the football club and we think the fans will love the new food offerings in all the key areas of the club. This will include the 1885 Suite, Eye Level sponsors lounge and the in-stand kiosks.
     
    We are happy to announce that at our first game at Gigg for the new season, we will be giving every fan a £2 voucher towards a meal deal. This is a thank you to supporters and hopefully will go some way to earning your trust in our matchday offering going forward.
     
    CEO Neil Sears said: “I am excited to have a chance to refresh our catering offer at Gigg Lane, last season I had many fans comment that we could and should be doing better with our food offering.
     
    “One of the key areas that I want to improve on is the fan experience, this starts with the food offering. The Difference Group will offer an increased choice, better signage, investment in our kiosks, good quality and competitive pricing and the fans will see this straight away.”
     
    Bryan Telfer, Managing Director of The Difference Hospitality Group said: “After a competitive tender process, we are thrilled that Bury FC have chosen us, The Difference Hospitality Group, to deliver a fresh, exciting experience to fans at Gigg Lane. As sports fans ourselves, we understand what it takes to enhance the fan experience and are committed to providing consistent, top-notch service at every game.”

    Incoming: Lewis Earl

    We are excited to announce the signing of Lewis Earl from National League North side Marine.

    The 6ft 1’ centre half, who is also comfortable playing in the holding midfield role has committed to Dave McNabb’s Shakers for the 2024/25 season.

    Lewis started his career at EFL Championship side Preston North End, before departing in the summer of 2020.

    He moved on to Stockport County – spending the 2021/22 campaign on loan at AFC Telford United, Warrington Rylands and then Hyde United.

    Lewis then moved on to Chester but a serious injury curtailed a large proportion of his first season there, however he impressed in his nine appearances for the club at the back end of the season and his contract was extended.

    Following a short loan stint at Bootle, Lewis then moved to Marine.

    Dave McNabb had the following to say on is new recruit:
        Welcome to Bury, Lewis.

    Club Statement – Further Update on Supporter Behaviour

    Over the last few weeks, the club have been working with Greater Manchester Police (GMP) on identifying the individuals who firstly invaded the pitch after the equalising goal was scored, and secondly those who were shown to be fighting with each other and this was portrayed on social media during our Play-off Final at Ericstan Park in early May. We are now able to provide you with a further update, following our statements last month.


    As a club, we wish to again re-iterate that this behaviour is completely unacceptable in today’s society and has no place at our community club. 


    A handful of those identified for fighting have been arrested and are currently under investigation by GMP. We will continue to work alongside the relevant authorities in ensuring that they are banned from Gigg Lane.  


    Today, we have also issued a number of banning letters in conjunction with our club sanctions policy around pitch encroachment. This process will be continuing over the next few weeks as we contact all those identified.   


    In relation to these incidents the club has this week received a charge from the Manchester FA with a breach of rule E.21: ‘failing to control our supporters’. The charge centres around the following reported incidents:


    – throwing beer on officials,
    – the use of pyrotechnics which are prohibited,
    – fighting and finally,
    – encroachment of the pitch when the equalising goal was scored.  


    This kind of behaviour leaves the club again in the spotlight with the FA for the wrong reasons and subject to sanctions as a result. The club will now put its case to the Manchester FA over the events that occurred.   


    I have talked about behaviour a lot during my short time with the club, and whilst the majority of our fans attend the games in good spirits and support Dave and the team, the 1% are still causing the club considerable issues. My message to this 1% is if you cannot attend matches and behave appropriately, then you are simply not welcome.


    With so much excitement over the last few days around club signings, it really hurts to have to write these kind of messages.  We look forward to the new season with optimism and look forward to welcoming back our genuine club supporters at Gigg Lane. It is key that the club provides the community with an environment that is safe and secure for all who attend. We continue to work to towards this goal.

    Hospitality Season Tickets

    We have enhanced and improved our hospitality packages for the 2024-25 season. We have a new catering firm in place who will be investing in the kiosks around the stadium, and updating the furniture in hospitality, firstly in the Sponsors Lounge and eventually in the 1885 Suite.
      We have put together three different packages at three different price points to provide more options.
      The food should be considerably improved this season. 1885 members will be served before the game rather than half time, Sponsors Lounge will be a two course meal, and a pie is included with the Starkies Pass.
      The packages do not include parking, as we have found this is not always used, but parking can be purchased at each game for £5 cash. This has allowed us to reduce the 1885 Suite package by £100.
      Both the 1885 and Sponsors Lounge season tickets include access to a specially reserved seating area above the bar areas. We will also be inviting former Bury players to meet guests in the Sponsors Lounge, as well as the current players and management team.
      The Starkies Pass does not include a season ticket which needs to be purchased separately.
      We will release details of sponsors and individual matchday packages in due course. Standard season tickets will go on sale in the next few days.
      Starkies Pass
      Exclusive membership club for the 2024/25 season for up to 70 people who will have VIP access to Starkies on home matchdays before and during the game. It will be open to all supporters after the match.
      The price is £200 including VAT per person (£8.69 per game) and the package will include:
    Entry via the Manchester Road entrance (bottom of Starkies) from 12pm Open pre-match, during the game, and post-match until 7:30pm Private TV showing all live BT (including 12:30 kick off) and free to view matches Private pay bar for beers, wines and spirits Seats for up to 70 people with panoramic views of Gigg Lane Pie available from 1pm included in the price (includes vegan option) 10% discount on all items from the club shop 10% discount on Starkies room hire Matchday team sheet Drinks promotions VIP event mailing list   Does not include the price of a season ticket which will need to be purchased separately.
