GAME OFF: Cheadle Town (A)

Following a review of the pitch at Park Road ahead of tomorrow’s planned fixture against Cheadle Town, the surface has been declared unfit and the game has been postponed.

The weather has beaten the efforts of the Park Road ground staff, with frozen pitch affecting attempts to prepare the surface for this weekend.

A new date will be confirmed in due course, and purchased tickets will be refunded via Cheadle Town shortly.

Match Info: Cheadle Town (A), Sat 20th Jan, 3pm KO

After the weather put paid to a mid-week top-of-the-table clash against Wythenshawe, attention turned to Park Road this weekend as we take on Cheadle Town this Saturday.

And a repeat of last Saturday’s performance, will do nicely if Dave McNabb’s charges can put another show for the travelling faithful. Two goals each from Andy Briggs and newly-crowned league player of the month, Dec Daniels, alongside a return to the goalscoring charts for Andy Scarisbrick and another goal for youngster Joe Hobson resulted in a 6-0 hammering at Litherland Sports Park. Highlights can be found below.

The win kept up the pace in the league, with both Wythenshawe’s winning also, the race for top spot continues to hot up. The increase in the temperature for the league can be directly linked to the drop off in air temperature nationwide, with many games impacted by the freezing conditions over weekend and then the snow that came in to follow.

The low temperatures are set to continue until Friday, with a hope of improvement in time for the game. Keep across our social media profiles in the run up to kick-off for the latest up-to-date information.

For your all matchday details, we spoke to Cheadle Town Social Media Manager, Jamie Lynch about what supporters can expect as we make our first competitive visit to Park Road, in this week’s ‘Playing Away’ episode on YouTube. A link to that is below.
    ‘Playing Away’ – Episode Six
    Opponents – Cheadle Town
The club was established in 1961 (as Grasmere Rovers), playing U16s Sunday league football in the Manchester & District League, developing up to U21s and winning their first championship in 1968, with a Premier Division title two seasons later.

The club made the step up into Saturday football by entering the Manchester League in 1972, moving in Park Road Stadium ten years later. A year later and now known by its current name, the club joined the newly-formed NWCFL.

One promotion to the top tier of the leagues was achieved in 1996, which they relinquished in 2001. With hopes high for a return to the top flight last season, the club achieved that under the stewardship of current manager Paul Marshall with a 3-1 play-off win against Sandbach United last summer.

Town have had a tough start to life back in the Premier Division and lie in 20th going into the weekend, with nine wins and four draws from 27 games so far. A run of four losses at the end of December has been improved upon with back-to-back wins as we’ve entered 2024, winning 5-0 and 3-1 respectively at Barlick and AFC Liverpool.

Driving:
If you are travelling clockwise on the M60…. Leave the motorway at junction 3 (signposted A34 Congleton) and follow the slip road. You will come to a set of lights at the end of the slip road (just before you join the A34) and then again at a main crossroads shortly afterwards. Turn left here. Follow this road (the A560) and go straight ahead at the next set of lights, taking you through Cheadle village with The White Hart pub and St Mary’s Church on the left.

At the next set of lights at the end of Cheadle village – where the George & Dragon pub is on the right – bear right and follow the road. You will pass a BP petrol station on your left. You will need to turn right immediately after the small park on your right. This is Park Road. The ground is at the bottom of the road past the cemetery gates.

If you are travelling anti-clockwise on the M60…. Leave the motorway at junction 2 (signposted A560 Cheadle) and follow the slip road to the end – a roundabout – where you will need to turn right. Get in the right-hand lane as you approach the traffic lights and go straight on, taking the first left after the row of shops. This is Park Road. The ground is at the bottom of the road past the cemetery gates.

Parking: There is limited parking on Park Road itself and visitors are kindly asked NOT to park on the same side of the street as the houses. Please park on the opposite side of the road. We recommend driving down to the cemetery gates on arrival, turning around and heading back up Park Road before finding a space to park – that way you are “pointing in the right direction” for when you leave at the end of the match.

If parking is unavailable on Park Road then you can try one of the side streets off Councillor Lane or Stockport Road (A560) and take the short walk to the ground.

New Signing: Jacob Holland-Wilkinson

Bury Football Club are delighted to confirm the signing of Jacob Holland-Wilkinson from Lancaster City, subject to league approval.
  Jacob Holland-Wilkinson joins the Shakers Manager Dave McNabb swooped in to bring the talented attacking midfielder to Gigg Lane to bolster the engine room as we head into the business end of the season.

Bury-born Jacob, 21, is a Preston North End academy graduate, leaving Deepdale after reserve team appearances for the Lilywhites and in search of first team football. That search resulted in a move to Stoke City in 2022.

Appearences for the Under-21 side followed, as well as two loan stints with the Dolly Blues where he racked up a total of 10 appearances and two goals. Following release from Stoke, Lancaster signed him up permenantly in the summer of 2023.

So far this term, Jacob has scored three goals in 21 appearances in the Northern Premier League.

Manager Dave McNabb states Holland-Wilkinson offers another attacking midfield option:
 

Jacob is expected to be involved in the matchday squad for Saturday’s trip to Cheadle Town. Tickets can be purchased here.

Welcome to Bury, Jacob!

NWCFL Premier Division Player of the Month: Declan Daniels

We are delighted to announce that Declan Daniels has been named NWCFL Premier Division Player of the Month for Decemeber 2023.

Following his move from Irlam in early December, the striker has won Man of the Match from the opponents in each game, scoring three goals in the process, making him the easy choice for the league award last month.

His form has continued into 2024 so far also, taking his tally to six goals in total, as well as adding a further Man of the Match award against his old club the first game of 2024 – bagging a penalty in the process.

This is our second league recognised award of the season, after Harry Wright’s goalkeeper award in October. Well done Dec, keep it up!
You can relive Dec’s first goal for the club on his debut, away at Longridge Town, below:

Club Statement: Update

We can confirm that the FA have agreed to a stay of the sanction requiring us to close Gigg Lane to supporters whilst the appeal is heard.

There will be no sanctions until the appeal process concludes. This means that our game against Wythenshawe will be open for supporters of both sides to attend.

We are, however, mindful of the weather and potential for a postponement due to a frozen pitch so continue to advise supporters not to purchase tickets in advance at this stage purely for that reason.
