The FA has today released the club allocations for the 2025/26 season, confirming that we will compete in the Northern Premier League West Division following our promotion from the North West Counties Premier Division.


This news marks another significant milestone in our journey as we continue climbing the football pyramid. After a strong and determined campaign last season, we are proud to be taking our place in a competitive division full of both familiar faces and new challenges.


Joining us in the West Division are fellow promoted sides Lower Breck and Shifnal Town, as well as Darlaston Town and Sporting Khalsa, who enter the division through lateral movement. Wythenshawe Town have also been granted a reprieve and remain in the division following Farsley Celtic, failing to be awarded a Step 1-4 club licence and requesting to be considered for placement at Step 5 or 6.
The Full Line-Up for NPL West 2025/26:
Atherton Collieries
Avro
Bootle
Bury FC
Chasetown
Clitheroe
Congleton Town
Darlaston Town
Kidsgrove Athletic
Lower Breck
Mossley
Nantwich Town
Newcastle Town
Runcorn Linnets
Shifnal Town
Sporting Khalsa

As we enter this new chapter, your support will be more important than ever as we take on a new set of opponents and aim to make our mark in the Northern Premier League.


Fixture release dates will follow in due course.


We can’t wait to see you all back at Gigg Lane for what promises to be another exciting season.


Up the Shakers!

We are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Callum Spooner, who joins us from Hyde United, subject to league & FA approval.


The 27-year-old has spent the last four seasons at Ewan Fields, apart from a brief spell at Southport at the beginning of last season.


The Tigers have finished in the top ten in the last three seasons in the NPL Premier, and Callum has been a key asset to the side.  


As captain, he also guided Hyde to the final of the Cheshire Senior Cup in the 2023/24 season, which they went on to win.


Born in Rochdale, he started out at Bolton Wanderers academy. He’s also had spells at Stalybridge Celtic, Atherton Collieries & Bamber Bridge.
Callum told club media:


Manager, Dave McNabb added:


We can’t wait to see him represent the Shakers in the iconic white and blue!


New signings are brought to you in association with club partner S&S Northern.

We are thrilled to announce the signing of experienced defender Scott Duxbury, who joins the Shakers as the first addition of the summer.

A versatile and accomplished left-back who can also operate at centre-back, brings a decade of non-league experience and a winning pedigree to Gigg Lane.


The 30-year-old joins the Shakers after two seasons with Radcliffe, where he made 50 appearances last season, including 42 starts.


Duxbury is no stranger to success – he was part of the Stockport County side that secured the National League North title and has featured for a number of clubs including Warrington Rylands, Spennymoor Town, Boston United, AFC Fylde, Chorley and Northwich Victoria.


His arrival signals a statement of intent from the club, adding quality and leadership to the squad ahead of the upcoming season.


On joining the Shakers, Scott said:
Manager, Dave McNabb added:
Everyone at Bury FC extends a warm welcome to Scott and looks forward to seeing him in action in the famous white and blue.
New signings are brought to you in association with club partner S&S Northern.

We are delighted to announce Tony Cunningham as our new club secretary.

Tony joins us after nearly 25 years at nearby Ramsbottom United. He started out as the club’s PA man, carried out numerous roles including club secretary – a position he’s held at the club since 2013.


Prior to his involvement at the Riverside Stadium, he’d spent time at Mossley & Rossendale United. 


He also has a close affinity to Gigg Lane, supporting the Shakers throughout his life, first coming to a game in 1957, his attendance at games reduced more as he got more involved with Ramsbottom, but he still made it to his favourite seat in the South Stand when he could. Tony contributed to the programme for many years up until the club’s expulsion from the EFL in 2019.


Following a competitive application process of over 20 applicants, the board felt Tony was the best choice for the role given his previous experience as a Northern Premier League secretary.


Upon his appointment, Tony said:
Football Board Chair, Gareth Castick, added:
Tony joins the club with immediate effect and will begin working with the rest of the football operations ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Our NWCFL Premier Division trophy will be on show in the sponsors’ lounge from 10:30am until 11:30am giving an opportunity for a photo with the trophy for a small donation to the designated charity.


The events stage will start at 12 noon with some fantastic performances, with our friends from Roch Valley Radio continuing in the breaks with music.

We’re proud to announce that pre-orders for the brand-new Bury FC home shirt, designed by Hope + Glory, and chosen by you, our fans, are now LIVE!


Be among the first to wear the Shakers’ iconic colours for the new season and show your support in style.


Prices for all sizes of the new home shirt are frozen at last year’s prices, strengthening our ongoing commitment to providing value to our loyal fan base.

The prices for the Bury FC 2025/27 home shirt are:
Adults: £40
Juniors: £30
Infants: £20



About our new Eco-kit


Along with our partners at Hope + Glory, we want to play our part in helping to protect the planet.


Our new Eco-kits are a part of our commitment to a sustainable future, making football kits using rPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) with a lower environmental impact. Both the shirt and shorts are made from rPET fabric, which is made from recycled plastic bottles that have been melted down to produce a fine yarn.


Every shirt is manufactured using a piece of fabric made from the equivalent of approximately 16 plastic bottles. Our EcoKit material behaves in the same way virgin polyester would meaning no difference in performance from our standard kits – if anything the EcoKit fabric has a more premium feel, smoother to the touch and slightly lighter.


Once the pre-order window ends the production of the shirts will start with expected delivery early/mid July.


The pre-order window closes on 25th May 2025, but you can place your order and be one of the first to wear our iconic new shirt.


CLICK HERE TO PRE-ORDER YOUR SHIRT NOW!

** Please note, if pre-ordering a shirt and any other item your order will not be dispatched until the pre-ordered shirt is ready for dispatch**
