We’re delighted to confirm our plans to Live Stream Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round tie against Harborough Town. Discussions have been taking place with various stakeholders to put in all the necessary arrangements this past week. We can now confirm a Live Stream will be available for £9.99 (inc VAT & fees) for fans that were not able to get a ticket for this huge game, with both sides looking to head into the First Round Proper. This weekend lands outside of UEFA’s broadcasting blackout directive due to the international break in the Premier League and EFL Championship. Games kicking off at 3pm are therefore able to be broadcast. However, the Live Stream is limited to those who are based in the UK only. This is in line with FA Competition rules. We have gained significant experience with Live Streaming our games in the last few seasons, including covering games away from home on a number of occassions. Despite some issues experienced, particularly during our play-off final match at Wythenshawe Town back in May, we have developed a strong package to deliver a solid service this weekend. This has included the hire of satillite equipment to guarantee as strong a signal as possible, as well as large portable power outlets to overcome restrictions at the ground and aid in setup times for the team in place to deliver the stream. This should reduce the chance of issues in delivering a stream into your home. The price of a household pay-per-view stream has been increased above our normal level to account for the additional infrastructure required to deliver the service. This has been set at £9.99 (inc VAT & fees). Commercial premises wishing to show the game, should pay the requisite fee provided on the ticket page when purchasing. We would like to thank the committee at Harborough Town for being accommodating to our request and working with us to provide this coverage, as well as the team of dedicated volunteers who have committed to the planning and setup throughout this week. We hope the coverage brings the game to the many supporters who would have loved to have been there in person!

There’s a great opportunity for the unbeaten Shakers to do some more FA Cup shaking when we meet Harborough Town from the Southern League Premier Division this Saturday at the final qualifying stage of this season’s Emirates FA Cup. We’re the last Step Five team still in the tournament, and are up against a team from Step Three. But we beat Radcliffe from Step Two, and the prize this time is a place in the First Round Proper. So come on, you Shakers! It would be understandable if performances in our last two league matches were affected by thoughts of the Harborough game. After a 5-1 win at Longbridge which featured Mitch Allen facing three penalties within the first 60 minutes, we were then perhaps not at our best against Glossop North End at Gigg Lane on Tuesday evening. We were much the better team but failed to convert a number of chances. We went ahead 10 minutes into the second half with a penalty from the lethal Rustam Stepans and added a second nine minutes later when Bryan Ly blasted home from six-yards. Glossop fought to the end, and despite pegging the Shakers back and sharing the spoils we took our unbeaten run to 21 matches – but only just. Highlights and post-match interviews from Tuesday are available on our YouTube channel (links below). Maybe a culmination of playing a number of games in a short space of the season so far affected us going into the final 20 minutes on Tuesday, but this weekend is the fruits of the labour – a chance to reach the First Round Proper of the FA Cup and they don’t come around all too often when you start the competition in August and the Extra Preliminary Round! It is something sides from our step in the football pyramid have only achieved on two occasions in recent times. And up until 2019, it was where supporters were generally accoustomed to starting the road to glory, wouldn’t it be nice to be back there, after all that has happened since then? Read the story so far in our summary of the FA Cup HERE. We are most certainly ready to go and give it our all at a packed Bowden Park this Saturday. Follow the Shakers on this run and get all your match information below. In Opposition – Harborough Town This is very much a community club for Market Harborough in Leicestershire. They came into existence in 1975, took their present form in 2007, and run a wide variety of teams for all age groups. The Southern League Premier Division Central side are in 15th place, having won two, drawn four and lost three of their nine games. This is the first time they have come through to this stage of the FA Cup, after beating Step Two side Leamington in the last round. Highlights of this 1-0 victory can be found below: Last weekend Town – “The Bees” – lost 5-2 away to Northern Premier League Midlands Division side Sporting Khalsa in the Isuzu FA Trophy third qualifying round.

Bury FC have made a shaking appearance in England’s oldest footballing competition, with the First Round Proper just one successful game away, writes Lily-Mae Cooper. A strong start for the Shakers entering in the Extra Preliminary Round on the 3rd of August with a 4-2 win against a predicted cohesive, strong Congleton Town. Star player for Bury, Alex Cherera showed dominance throughout the match as the winger scored three of the four goals, securing their place in the Preliminary Round. An unexpected tap off the head, up to the crossbar, and over the goal line for Ruben Jerome secured their last goal in the 73rd minute following a Bury corner kick. The busy second half produced three goals for Bury and one for Congleton, both sprang into action as the home team became under threat by the lead their opposition claimed before the break. Avro hosted Bury in the Preliminary Round on the 17th of August with yet another superior play from the Shakers at The Vestacare Stadium. Both teams fought against tough defence lines from the onset with possession flickering from one to the other. Bury’s resistance held up, successfully shutting down the early chances Avro created to bring it home. Full time came with 4 extra minutes and a final score of 2-1 with appreciation to goal scorers Alex Cherera, and Lewis Alessandra. Another controlled win against higher opposition. Drawn up against another team from a league above in the NPL East Division, Garforth Town, in the First Round Qualifier expectations were of a hard-to-top, strong-form competitor. Both Bury and Garforth met unbeaten. This set up for a harsh and grovelling first half, with little progression from either team. Once again Cherera broke the deadlock and scored in the 45th minute. He came back a second time to assist Alessandra in making his first touch and simultaneously goal of the match. Bury walk out victorious and still undefeated. 1,246 attendees made it to Croft Park to watch the undeniable force of Bury lead the Second Qualifying Round to a 3-0 win against Blyth Spartans. All goals in the second half, Cherea, Gomes, and Connor Pye took the Shakers to yet another undefeated victory. Visiting fans had a full view to celebrate the successes in the away end. Excitement bubbles at the thought of attaining a First-Round Proper game, two wins away from its possibility. Derby day was upon us. Ground reached compacity. Crowds of 2,800 filled the Neuven Stadium. Assistant manager, Tim Lees, reminisced on the clubs’ journey so far and said: “Every non-league player dreams of making it to the first round of the FA Cup.” “We have managed to continually knock out teams leagues above us with some excellent collective performances along the way”. The Third Qualifying Round witnessed the clash with neighbours Radcliffe. An afternoon of drama and unrest for Bury as the game kicked off out of their favour. Within the 7th minute, the three-division gap between the two materialised with an opposition goal. The dissatisfying result of an ignored offside request from the Shakers. It appeared this is all the underdogs needed to create speculation in their ability. A team of composure and pressurised attack unearthed itself at Neuven as the visitors began to push for opportunities. Plays from Alessandra and Gomes shake up the Boro nerves as they fight for an equaliser. It doesn’t come. The halftime break couldn’t end soon enough as Bury came crashing back into play. Sam Coughlan put in a shift in a lethal attack off a free kick sending it low across the goal line. In the 82nd minute, Bury pulled away from their host as Ruben Jerome made a solo break down the left channel, cleared the defensive line and bolted the ball past the fingertips of Radcliffe’s Hewelt. Just 5 tantalising minutes later Boro comes back burning as Josh Wardle receives a crossed free kick which tips past Mitchell Allen. A heart-stopping 90th minute rewarded the Shakers with a penalty heading into extra time. The reliable force of Bryan Ly slipped the ball past Hewelt sending him veering off in the opposite direction. It’s all over. Lees noted, “The jump in leagues brings a higher level in all areas; tactical, technical, and physical challenges and it has been a memorable run with Radcliffe being the pinnacle”. Bury claim this 3-2 derby success as their 18th run undefeated this season. The Fourth Qualifying Round will take our winners away to Harborough Town on Saturday the 12th October as they continue their impressive run through the FA Cup. Tim Lees insists on the dedication of his team. He said: “This weekend’s game brings another team two leagues above but I know I speak on behalf of all fans – we will do everything to be in that draw with an opportunity to play league one or two teams.” View the full article

Salford has experienced a turbulent few games, most recently drawing 1-1 with Curzon Ashton, and West Didsbury and Chorlton, losing 3-0 and 2-3 to Wythenshawe Women, and winning 0-4 against FC United of Manchester Women.

We need noisy fans in numbers to get behind the Shakers as they face Glossop North End in their 21st match of the season. Yes, we are indeed, still the mighty Shakers. Yes, we are unbeaten. And yes, we did beat North End 4-2 away three weeks ago. But the 5-1 win at Longridge on Saturday flattered us. Without Mitch Allen’s heroics in saving two out of three penalties it might have been a very different story. The 900 fans who made the journey up the M6 will have been delighted with the result, but maybe concerned that the match could all-too-easily have got away from us. They may well have wondered if the pressure of that unbeaten run and two matches a week, week after week, is beginning to tell? Just a few days after the Glossop match the Shakers have yet another big game – and yet another away from home. On Saturday, they travel 130 miles each way to take on Harborough in the final qualifying round of the Emirates FA Cup. Another win in the league game would send them off in good spirits. So please…come on down!! Come on you Shakers!!! You can relive all the action from Saturday and hear post match reaction from Chris Watts & Ben Hockenhull below. In Opposition – Glossop North End Glossop had a terrible start to the season, but have won their last five league games – including a 5-1 defeat of Squires Gate on Saturday. They’re 16th in the league table, having scored 26 goals and conceded 31. They ended last season in 21st position. We played them three times, losing 2-1 at home and winning 1-0 away in the league, and losing 2-1 at Glossop in the Manchester Premier Cup. North End’s history dates back to 1886. They won the NWCFL Premier Division title in 2015 and in the same year they played at Wembley in the final of the Isuzu FA Vase, losing 2-1 to North Shields. On the Day & In the Ground Our Matchday @ Gigg guide is available to read to find out everything you need to know going on in and around the ground. Match Tickets can be bought online HERE.

This week we informed the FENIX Trophy organisers of our intentions to withdraw from the competition. Following discussions amongst the board & management team, it was felt that our recent cup successes coupled with the Finnish weather, it would be difficult to arrange a date before the first round concludes in December. We understand that this might come as a disappointment to supporters, but we have taken this decision in the best interest of the football club. View the full article

We can confirm Andy Briggs has joined Northern Premier League side Widnes on dual registration. Andy has made 12 appearances off the bench this season and heads to Merseyside in a bid for more game time. Manager, Dave McNabb said: “Andy has had a bit of a stop, start season so far for various reasons. He hasn’t managed to get the game time he wants or deserves. “Now he is fully fit it makes sense for him to go an get some regular game time at Widnes. “Andy remains an important player and part of the long term plans.” Briggs added: “I would like to give a quick thanks to the fans for their unwavering support so far this season. Obviously, as a team it’s been a great start but from a personal point of view, this season I’ve not had as much game time as I would have hoped. “The fans however have been unbelievable throughout. As a player, playing games is the most important thing, so hopefully I can take this opportunity to get so much needed game time and I hope to see you all soon.” We’d like to wish Andy all the best for his time at Widnes and we’ll keep you updated on his progress.

Our women’s first team visits Wythenshawe this Sunday, where the Shakers will be looking to revert to the success they saw in the early stages of the season. Currently sitting first in the table, Wythenshawe has had a successful run so far, with the team yet to experience defeat. So far, they have beaten West Didsbury and Chorlton (0-7), Crewe Alexandra (6-0), Mancunian Unity (0-4), Salford City (2-3 and 3-0) and FC United of Manchester (1-5). They also drew against Tranmere Rovers (1-1). Head down to the Selco Builders Warehouse Community Stadium and get behind the Shakers on Sunday.

Our visit to Longridge Town for a league match is in no sense a case of “back to the old routine” for the unbeaten Shakers. It will be a tough game against opponents who had a good start to the season but now desperately need to prove a point. Town are more than aware that Bury go into the game after that dramatic Emirates FA Cup win at Radcliffe last weekend and a good result in a demanding midweek encounter with Chadderton. In such a situation, a come-down in a real danger. But everyone at Gigg Lane has promotion as the No 1 priority for the season, so the game at Longridge is a Cup Final – just like every league game. Last season, Bury took four points from their two games against Town, drawing 1-1 at home and winning 2-1 at Longridge. Highlights and post-match interviews from Tuesday are available on our YouTube channel (links below) We head up the M6, looking to make 20 unbeaten since the start of the season in all competitions. It’s 13th away game of the season – looking to pick up our 10th win on the road. We’ve scored 39 goals on the road this season, averaging 3.25 goals per game. In Opposition – Longridge Town Town’s last match on Tuesday was a 4-3 Macron Cup win on penalties after a 1-1 draw at home against Holker Old Boys. Before that, they’d lost three successive league games – against Abbey Hey and Squires Gate away and Litherland at home. The Preston club was created in 1996 by the merger of two teams which had started life in the 19th century as church sides playing in different leagues. They progressed to the NWCFL’s Division One North in 2018, and scored 144 goals on their way to becoming champions in their first season. Their aim now is to consolidate their position in the Premier Division, having finished in 19th position last season with 44 points from 46 games. They are currently in eighth position, having won eight and lost seven of their 15 games.

Pressure? This Bury team thrives on it. Everyone knows the league is our top priority. But this past weekend it was the FA Cup and a visit to Radcliffe. It was a remarkable away victory in a massive local derby, against a team three tiers above us in the football pyramid but Dave, his staff and his team never thought they wouldn’t come away with the win. Before the kick off there was a tribute to the late Paul Hilton, Radcliffe’s Chairman, who sadly passed away last week. With both clubs laying wreaths in the center circle and all 2,800 in attendance taking part in a minute’s applause to celebrate the life a man who has done so much not only for non-league football but for his club’s local community too. He will be missed by all who knew him. The game began… And what a game: Radcliffe one up after seven minutes. Bury level in 57 and ahead in 82. Radcliffe level in 89. And finally…Bury’s winning penalty in 103. Amazing! Yes, we celebrated our win on Saturday. Yes, we all awaited the fourth qualifying round draw with baited breath. But there’s no blurring of the focus on promotion as we look back to the North West Counties Premier Division and a huge match against second placed Chadderton, a team who find themselves in a rich vein of form in recent weeks. It’s going to be a tough game, but Dave and his team are revved up and ready to go following this weekend’s win and we need you behind us from the first minute until the final whistle!! You can relive all the action from Saturday and hear post match feedback from Tim Lees, Sam Coughlan and Captain Gaz Peet below. In Opposition – Chadderton FC Good performances in recent games have put Chadderton in a strong position in the NWCFL Premier Division table, just behind leaders Ramsbottom and having played two games fewer. Their 32 points from 15 matches compares with Ramsbottom’s 36 from 17 and Bury’s 25 from 11 in fifth position. On Friday night, Chadderton beat AFC Liverpool 7-1 away, having won 5-3 at Prestwich Heys on Tuesday. These results followed an 8-4 home win against Retford United from the Central Midlands league in the Isuzu FA Vase. Their opponents at home in the first round proper are none other than the Shakers. The Chadderton club came into existence in 1947 and took their present name in 1957. They joined the Lancashire Combination in 1980 and two years later were one of the founding clubs in the NWCFL.
