Last time out our 14-game unbeaten run came to an end with a 2–0 home defeat to playoff-chasing Vauxhall Motors. The Shakers created several promising moments, particularly in the first half, but were unable to find a breakthrough against a well-organised visiting defence
Attention now turns to a series of key fixtures as Bury look to quickly return to form in the promotion race.
In Opposition – Kidsgrove Athletic
Founded in 1952 following a split from Kidsgrove United, Kidsgrove Athletic has progressed from its local league roots to establish itself as a regular member of the Northern Premier League
The club has competed at this level since the 2002–03 season in its various formats, with their highest finish coming in 2010 when they secured fourth place
There are plenty of Shakers links to our opponents, including Tom Pope and Oliver Jepson.

The group is part of the Fans for Diversity campaign, run by the Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) and Kick It Out, which supports fan-led initiatives that promote equality and inclusion in football.
The inaugural meeting saw supporters come together to discuss their experiences of football culture, share ideas, and explore ways the group can help create a more inclusive environment at Bury FC. Discussions focused on how supporters can work alongside the club to ensure everyone feels safe, respected, and valued on matchdays and across the wider supporter community. Attendees highlighted the importance of celebrating diversity within the fanbase and helping ensure football remains open to people of all backgrounds.
The meeting was a positive first step, with attendees keen to continue developing the group and encouraging more supporters to get involved.
The next Fans for Diversity meeting will take place next week, and all Bury supporters are welcome to attend. If you are passionate about equality, inclusion, or simply believe football should be for everyone, we would love you to join the conversation and help shape this new initiative.
Next meeting: Thursday 19th March, 7pm
Location: Starkies Bar, Gigg Lane
Everyone is welcome!
Please email Hannah.Brindle@buryfc.co.uk for any enquiries.

Everyone at Bury FC would like to thank Leo for his efforts and commitment while representing the Shakers.
He has been a great professional during his time at the club, and we’re grateful for the contribution he has made in a Bury shirt.
Making his debut off the bench against Witton Albion, initially on a short term loan, Leo went on to play an integral part in our unbeaten run from the end of November, contributing 5 goals and 4 assists in 17 appearances, including the winner in our 1-0 victory at Chasetown.
We’d also like to place on record our thanks to Wigan Athletic for trusting Bury with this important stage of Leo’s development.
All the very best for the future, Leo. Once a Shaker, always a Shaker!

As Head of Women’s Football at Bury FC, I am immensely proud of the progress we have made in recent years. What we are building is far more than a collection of teams; it is a clearly defined pathway, a thriving community, and a culture in which women and girls feel valued, supported and inspired to be part of our club.
On any given training evening at Gigg Lane, the impact of this work is visible. Young girls take their first touches in a Bury shirt through our Bury Ballers and Wildcats sessions, teenage players grow in confidence and ambition, and adult women rediscover their love of the game, sometimes after many years away. Creating a genuine journey from grassroots participation to adult football has been a central focus of our efforts. We now proudly field girls’ teams across multiple age groups, from Under-7s through to Under-18s, as well as an FA-approved Squad Girls’ provision for teenage girls.
At senior level, our women’s first team, reserves and development squad provide a clear progression route for those advancing through the pathway. Our first team is currently competing in Tier 5 of the women’s football pyramid within the NWWRFL, where they continue to demonstrate resilience and ambition. This season, they have secured valuable points against respected local rivals including Bolton Wanderers and FC United of Manchester. These results reflect both the quality within the squad and the progress we are making as a club.
Our reserves and development squads play an equally important role within this structure. The women’s reserves have gone over a year unbeaten in the league, are pushing for another league title and are firmly in the hunt for back-to-back promotions. They have also secured a place in the Greater Manchester Women’s Football League Cup semi-final, showing real consistency and quality throughout the season. If promoted, they will join the first team in the North West Regional League (Tier 6). The newly formed development team, made up mainly of young and upcoming U21 players, have had an excellent first year in the Women’s Football League. Their progress has been impressive, and they have now reached their first divisional cup final after a strong 3–2 win over Salford United.
With eight women’s recreational teams and five women’s vet’s teams, this section has become one of the most diverse and well-established parts of the club. It reflects our commitment to providing football for every level of ability and ambition, ensuring genuine accessibility. Our recreational programme offers a structured, supportive environment for those new to the game and those returning after time away, while our thriving vets section demonstrates that passion for football continues well beyond traditional pathways. Together, these teams showcase our inclusive ethos and reinforce our reputation as a club that champions lifelong participation in football. Furthermore, we have recently introduced a women’s walking football programme, ‘Walk This Way’, funded by Bury VCFA.
Our message is simple: football at Bury FC is for life. Our youngest female participant is just two years old, and we are proud to offer opportunities that extend well beyond traditional playing years. Each new team represents more than growth in numbers; it represents opportunity for women and girls in our town and beyond to play, compete, build friendships and develop through football.
I am particularly proud of the strong female presence throughout the wider club. Women are not only participating – they are leading, organising and shaping the future direction of Bury FC. From important decision-making and leading match-day operations to community engagement and youth development, women’s voices are integral to our club. Visibility matters. When young girls see women leading, coaching, volunteering and representing the club, they see tangible examples of what is possible. What we are building is sustainable, inclusive and ambitious. Above all, it is driven by passion – passion from players proud to wear the shirt, from volunteers committed to our vision, and from a club that recognises the importance of equal opportunity. As we continue to grow and evolve, I firmly believe that the most exciting chapters are still ahead.

We have five home games left of the season, so head down to Gigg Lane and support your Shakers!
In Opposition – Vauxhall Motors
Vauxhall Motors FC was founded in 1963 following the opening of the new Vauxhall Mortors car plant in Ellesmere Port. The Cheshire based club play at the VanEupen Arena and currently hold 5th place position in the league table. At our last encounter in October, the score stood at a level 3-3 so Saturday is set to be an intriguing clash.
Her Game Too Weekend
This weekend, we celebrate our dedicated Her Game Too Weekend, showing clear support for the vital work of Her Game Too in tackling sexism and promoting inclusivity across football.
At our Men’s fixture on Saturday, we will have our Her Game Too photo frame, where fans can have their photo taken
Our Women’s and Girls teams will make a lap of the pitch at half time, with some acting as flag bearers when the teams come out.
