Bury Football Club announce that Dave McNabb is to relinquish his role as Men’s First Team Manager to become the club’s Head of Football Operations, with immediate effect. 


In this pivotal role, Dave will become the key link between the FSSB Board and football operations, shaping the club’s sporting strategy to drive success for the men’s first team. 


The restructure is a key element in Bury FC’s ongoing strategy of continuous improvement to plan for the short, medium, and longer-term goals of sustaining football at the highest possible level. 


As a Senior Leader in business, Dave’s transferable skillset and track record of generating revenue brings added expertise to the club off the pitch. 


Dave joined Bury at a crucial moment in our modern journey and has played a central role in restoring pride, belief, and momentum throughout his tenure.  


His professionalism, commitment, passion, and love for the club have been evident in everything he has done. 


Under his guidance, the squad delivered a record-breaking North-West Counties Football League title-winning season, achieving standards on and off the pitch that will be remembered for years to come. 


Dave McNabb said: “I’m really excited with the new role and the opportunity to focus on helping to push the football operations forward on and off the pitch with a clear strategy and roadmap of activities to ensure a structured and targeted programme”. 


John Woodhead, Chair of the FSSB Board, added: “Dave has been instrumental in stabilising and progressing the football side of the club. Moving him into the Director of Football role allows us to benefit from his vast experience in football and business, in what we anticipate will be at no additional cost to the club, and we’re delighted he’s chosen to continue this journey with us”. 


Dave will work with the board on the search for a new First Team Manager, with Tim Lees stepping up on an interim basis to take the team on Saturday as we travel to Shifnal Town.

We can confirm the permanent signing of Regan Riley from Radcliffe.


Regan initially joined us on a three-month loan at the end of August, and following the completion of that spell this week, he has now signed permanently. To date, he has made 14 appearances for the Shakers.


The 23-year-old spent more than a decade in the Bolton Wanderers academy and made his senior debut at just 16 in 2019. He later joined Norwich City in 2021, spending three seasons developing with their Under-21s before moving to Radcliffe.


He said: “Really happy to have made it permanent and grateful to have the opportunity to keep playing for this great club, in-front of such amazing fans.”


Manager, Dave McNabb added: “Regan has done really well during his loan period and as soon as there was an option to make the deal permanent, it was a no-brainer.


“He’s still a young player, has a brilliant pedigree and still lots of potential to keep getting better and better.”

Bury FC Women will be looking to get back on the right path following last week’s disappointing 2-0 defeat against Crewe Alexandra at Gigg Lane as they take on Fleetwood Wrens once again at Gigg Lane. 

Following last weekend’s defeat saw Bury FC get to the unfortunate stat of not scoring in their last 3 matches. As Crewe scored their first goal with a quick counter attack that saw Kian Lancaster beat Faye Moseley from 25 yards. Towards the end of the match Crewe extended their lead with a great pass from Sophie Taylor that split open our defence which left Talia Nield 1 on 1 with Faye Moseley to seal their victory. 

The Shakers to a welcomed visitor as they play Fleetwood Wrens this weekend. The sides have met three times recently, and the Shakers have come out on top in convincing fashion boasting a 12-4 aggregate advantage. 

Both teams head into the match separated by 14 points as Fleetwood find themselves bottom of the league, setting up what should be a good match for Bury FC this weekend. Fleetwood have failed to score a single point this season and they arrive in this match following a 5-0 defeat against Bolton Wanderers FC women.

Bury, meanwhile, will be looking to change their luck around to get their first win in the last 5 matches and create some extra breathing space to the relegation zone.

Working with Bury Council and Bury Community Safety Partnership, at Bury Football Club we are committed to ending men’s violence against women and girls, by working to foster positive culture change. For White Ribbon Day 2025, we are encouraging you to speak up and create a world where women and girls are safe, equal, and respected.


To mark the event, we will be holding a White Ribbon Weekend at the club, across our Men’s & Women’s games against Atherton Colls and Fleetwood Town this weekend on Saturday 29th November and Sunday 30th November respectively.

Letting sexism slide puts women and girls at risk. Sexist jokes, catcalling, staring, and comments might seem harmless, but they are serious because they can lead to violence and abuse. 



70% of women in the UK say they have experienced sexual harassment in public. (APPG for UN Women, 2021)
3 in 5 women have experienced sexual harassment, bullying or verbal abuse in the workplace. (Trade Unions Congress, 2023)
15% of women in England, and 17% of women in Wales have experienced online violence. (Professor Olga Jurasz, The Open University, 2024)
1.4 million women experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2023. (ONS, 2023)
63% of men agree that men in society aren’t doing enough to ensure the safety of women and girls. (YouGov, 2021)
Community Development Officer, Hannah Brindle said:


Being a White Ribbon Ambassador or Champion is an effective and meaningful way for everyone to actively demonstrate commitment to ending men’s violence against women and girls.


White Ribbon Ambassadors are men and people who identify as a man who take on this responsibility. They take the White Ribbon message into their workplaces, communities and among their friends, family and colleagues.
White Ribbon Champions are women, and people who do not identify as being a man, who promote the White Ribbon message and encourage and challenge men to get involved by finding opportunities to inspire and inform. Our Champions can hold us to account and ensure that women’s voices are heard in our work. For more information and to become an ambassador or champion click here.


Any concerns of criminality, violence and harm can be reported anonymously via Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 1111 or report online.


Make a difference to ensure everyone enjoys the beautiful game and in every walk of life harmful behaviours are called out and tackled.

Atherton Collieries are our opponents at Gigg Lane as we return to league action, after a break for the Frank Hannah Premier Cup on Monday night against Maine Road, where a brace from Tyler James and other goals from Gerry McCullion and Patrick Johnrose saw us book our place in the next round.
Our last league outing was one to put behind us, a 3-0 defeat against Witton Albion. The fixture brought the return of Gavin Massey in the starting eleven, as well as a return for DJ Pedro and a debut for Wigan loanee Leo Graham from the bench.
A rare defeat in our last home game against Lower Breck, only our fourth league loss at Gigg Lane since Dave McNabb was appointed in September 2023.
In Opposition – Atherton Collieries

Colls are in their ninth season in the NPL, their fourth in the West Division, the other five spent in the Premier Division. They won promotion from the NWCFL in 2017.

Michael Clegg’s side have won one of their last six, which came last time out vs Sporting Khalsa.

The club was formed in 1916 by miners from the six pits operating in the old urban district of the town. When the pits were nationalised, the football club was gifted to the town.
