The 25th of April 2011 was a day that will always hold a special place in our hearts. It was the day our club secured a crucial 3-2 victory over Chesterfield, which saw us gain promotion to League One despite losing Alan Knill a month prior. The game got off to a nervy start for Bury, as Steven Schumacher picked up a yellow card just two minutes into the match. Probing of defences was undertaken by both teams until Tom Lee's goal in the 12th minute gave Bury the lead. We can all agree the game was an absolute rollercoaster ride, with both teams creating chances and the scoreline constantly changing. As a fan, I was on the edge of my seat throughout the match, cheering us on every time Bury pushed forward and holding my breath whenever Chesterfield attacked. Bury maintained their lead until the second half when Craig Davies' goal in the 50th minute equalised, but it wasn’t long until David Worrall's goal in the 55th minute put Bury ahead again. Chesterfield refused to give up, and Jack Lester's goal in the 63rd minute gave Chesterfield hope of a comeback. With just minutes remaining, Bury's talismanic striker Ryan Lowe stepped up to score the first of his two goals, making the score 3-2 and setting up a thrilling finale. And in the dying minutes of the game, Lowe scored the decisive goal in the 87th minute, sending the travelling fans into raptures and securing promotion to League One. Looking back, it was a truly unforgettable game and a fantastic achievement for Bury FC. Despite the field setbacks, the team showed tremendous resilience and character to mount a comeback and secure the victory we needed to earn promotion. As a fan, I will never forget that day as one of the greatest in the history of our club. -
Save the date, Sunday 17th July 2022 at 2pm! We are delighted to announce that a team of Bury legends will be gracing the Gigg Lane pitch to take on a Burnley legends team. A lot of work has gone on behind the scenes in order to make this possible and we can now share the wonderful news. We will be announcing the management team on Sunday 29th May with players over the coming days and weeks in the build up to what is scheduled to be a great day. You are now able to purchase tickets for the game at the link below https://buryfcss.merlintickets.co.uk/product/BURYEV01 Adults – £8, Children £4, Family £20 (2 adults and 2 children) For hospitality information contact commercial@buryfcss.co.uk We will also be releasing a special one off Bury Legends playing shirt that will be available to purchase online. All proceeds raised will be split between the ongoing restore and renovations work at Gigg and the Lenny Johnrose Trust. We would like to thank Vintage Clarets for making this possible and for being the legends opponents on what will surely be a momentous occasion to return to Gigg Lane wearing white and blue whilst cheering on a Bury team. We would also like to thank the fans who organised the previous legends game in 2019, they provided us with the blueprint of how to run a successful game and their input has been invaluable in making this possible, we have asked them to use the funds set aside that they raised towards helping to maintain the Gigg Lane playing surface for the next 12 months. Daniel Bowerbank, Operations Director of Gigg Lane Community Stadium, “This event has been a long time coming, since we secured the stadium under fan ownership it has been one of our key events to host. As part of our sustainable business model for Gigg Lane events outside of the general football usage is a vital income. As we continue to restore and redevelop Gigg Lane, Vintage Clarets have agreed to provide a superb lineup of former Burnley players to play against our Bury Legends. We look forward to welcoming all the players back to Gigg along with the Bury Supporters who have endured 3 years of misery due to mismanagement from previous owners.” See you all on the 17th July
