    Kenny Hindle

    Last week, the club were sad to bring news of the passing of long-term supporter Kenny Hindle. Over 70 years a follower of Bury Football Club and a familiar figure in the stands to many.

    Kenny was like all of us back in 2019. Heart-broken. And at a loss as to how to move forward with such a big piece of his life being taken away. His comments to media outlets that visited Gigg Lane at the time, resonated with the wider public who had been drawn to the subject of the club’s battle for survival.

    Such was his link to the situation, he was chosen to lead out the team’s of Bury FC Legends to raptourous applause at a charity fixture in October 2019. He was back at Gigg Lane for the early stages of this campaign as football returned after a four-season hiatus.

    We were all delighted that he was able to re-take his seat and watch the football team that had been a mainstay of his life.

    The club will be holding a minutes applause at our game against Ramsbottom United, on Tuesday 19th March.

    Kenny’s funeral will take place on Monday 18th March. The funeral cortege will stop at Gigg Lane from 10am on the way to Radcliffe Crematorium, for anyone wishing to pay their respects.

    Full details on the service can be found HERE. Supporters are advised that only family flowers have been requested and anyone wishing to make donations can do so to Bury Hospice at the below link.

    Update: Ticket Refunds

    Firstly, thank you for the continued patience being shown by all supporters in relation to information on obtaining refunds for the Behind Closed door matches.

    We appreciate that this affects single ticket purchases, season ticket holders, 1885 members and sponsors. We do not take your support for granted.

    The systems/mechanics involved in processing any refunds is not a simple one.

    As you can imagine the club has never had to deal with this situation before and with a club having a small number of full-time staff, it is taking some time to work through potential solutions. That being said, we could have communicated a update sooner and we acknowledge the fustrations that may have caused.

    We hope to be in a position to give an update next week having worked through the practical considerations for actioning refunds and aim to offer some suitable solutions/options. I am sure you can also appreciate that these charges have caused a signifcant hole in the club’s finances and have provided logistical challenges that are beyond the scope of what can reasonably be expected.

    We will communicate our plans next week and request your continued patience in awaiting further news on next steps.

    Thank you for your continued support.

    Neil Sears
    General Manager & CEO

    Match Info: Barnoldswick Town (H), Tues 12th Mar, 7.45pm KO

    We return home, but not as we know it, for a Tuesday clash against Barnoldswick Town in front of empty stands at Gigg Lane as the first of our stadium bans comes into force this week. The appeal against the ban to play two games behind closed doors, was rejected last week.

    Supporters will therefore not be able to watch from the stands for this game, or Saturday’s fixture against Charnock Richard. A summary of what this means has been outlined here.

    Despite this, the squad will be keen to jump back upon the horse after a stumble at weekend when we left the RG3 Digitial Stadium with no points in a disappointing game against Irlam.

    The teams cancelled each other out in the main, without many gilt edged chances for either side on a windy day in Salford. It was the hosts who grabbed the only goal of the game mid-way through the first half, with Ethan Cartwright lashing home a drilled shot from the edge of the box. Chances for Daniels on his return to Irlam, as well as Miles Storey, Sam Burns and Benito Lowe all didn’t hit the mark and we fell to defeat for the first time in 15 league games.

    It was also the first league shut-out of the season, with us hitting the net in all of the other 37 games up to Saturday, scoring 96 times in the process. The goals are there, and manager Dave McNabb will be hoping the squad return to form this week. The gaffer’s post-match interview from Saturday is available below.

    If this Tuesday’s game is anything like the reverse fixture when we visited The Silent Night Stadium in October, goals we will not be short of.

    In the manager’s fourth outing, we smashed seven unanswered goals past a fancied Barlick side, and stamped down our promotion-seeking credentials in the process. You can find the highlights to that game below.
      Last Time Out – Barnoldswick Town (a)
    Post-Match: Dave McNabb
      In Opposition – Barnoldswick Town
    The modern club formed in 1972 under the name Barnoldswick United (1972), after earlier incarnations in the 1920-30s folded soon after formation. Joining the local Craven & District League, before transferring to the East Lancashire League in the early 1990s, with two teams representing the club.

    In the late 1990’s, the club expanded to three teams, when 1st & 2nd team teams joined The West Lancashire Football League, and a new 3rd team staying in The East Lancashire League.

    The 2003/2004 season brought the amalgamation of Barnoldswick United (1972), Barnoldswick Park Rovers and Salterforth Juniors and we changed our name to Barnoldswick Town Football Club.

    It had always been in the club’s constitution to get the ground up to the minimum standards of The North West Counties Football League. The club were successful to be included from the start of the 2009/2010 season, being promoted at the first attempt after finishing as runner-up a position that they have maintained to this day.

    Barlick have maintained a fairly comfortable mid-table position after flirting with the play-off positions in the earlier part of the season. They currently sit in 16th position in the league, with 11 wins and 10 draws from 35 games so far. Last time out on Saturday, they lost to Wythenshawe Town 3-1.

    Plans for Behind Closed Door Games

    As our update earlier in the week, we are to play our next two home games behind closed doors. Supporters will not be allowed into Gigg Lane for the following two fixtures:
     
    Barnoldswick Town – Tues 12th March, 7.45pm KO Charnock Richard – Sat 16th March, 12.30pm KO*

    Thankfully, we have agreement from both Charnock and the league to bring forward the kick-off time next Saturday to 12.30pm*. This is to allow the game to be broadcast via live stream and not co-incide with the ‘blocked hours’ ruling, which prevents viewing within the UK of 3pm kick-offs on a Saturday afternoon. More on this further down the page.


    Further to the above, we have had to make the following preparations for this game and wish to inform supporters of the necessary plans with the update below.
      Who is allowed inside Gigg Lane?
    The ground will be not be open to supporters, and controls will be set up to prevent all but those allowed to enter the ground on each match day.

    This will include all players, staff and officials for each club alongside working volunteers who carry out necessary roles in ensuring the game can function as normal. This information will be gathered in the lead up to the games from both within the club and the visiting sides.

    There will therefore be representatives from both clubs allowed to carry out their roles across club administration, ground staff, team and kit staff, press representatives and club media officials alongside photographers and camera operatives.

    The car park will be closed to all those who are not on the accepted lists will not be allowed entry under any circumstances. Security operatives will be assisting on the entrance to the car park, as well as around the ground, to ensure we control access to Gigg Lane at all times.
      Tickets / Programmes
    It is our intention to offer refunds for all pre-purchased tickets for either game. We are working on a solution for reimbursing season ticket holders and will communicate this to follow.

    If you have any queries relating to tickets, please contact the club via email – tickets@buryfc.co.uk

    A programme will be available to purchase for pick-up at Gigg Lane after the completion of the behind closed doors fixtures. These will be £3 (plus Ticketco fee) each and available to buy only online. Head to buryfc.co.uk/tickets to buy yours.
      Access to the Live Stream Broadcast
    The live stream of both games will be available FREE OF CHARGE on the website (buryfc.co.uk), on our YouTube channel and across our Facebook page. The direct links will be communicated ahead of the games, but you won’t miss a moment of the action.
      Donations to the Club
    Supporters have asked about options to make financial contributions back to the club. We are working on providing an online payment mechanism and more details on this will follow.
