The 2023/2024 season was an eventful one from start to finish. Through the highs and lows, one thing has been consistent – the volunteers who dedicate themselves week-in, week-out have been at the heart of everything we have done as a club. Whether it be working to look after the ground during the week, operating the turnstiles, selling Pound For The Ground raffle tickets, or helping clear the stands on match days, you’ve done us proud and you represent everything that is special about our club. For all of your hard work, we thank you. In the off-season, thoughts turn to next time around and we need to ensure we continue to have a strong pool of volunteers to help run the club on matchdays. Both Men’s & Women’s sides will be running out of Gigg Lane next season, so as many volunteers as possible will be needed. Details of how you can get involved in 2024/25 are below. Join The Team The success of Bury Football Club at all levels is dependent on our army of volunteers, and we want to invite you to get involved in any way you feel able, and for as much or as little time as you can spare. Whilst we have a dedicated group, it’s important that we ensure as many areas as possible can be covered on a matchday and through the week. The list below gives you an idea of the kind of tasks our volunteers help us with: Ground Staff: for general maintenance through the week and assistance on match days Match Day Customer Service: Supporter assistance, way-finders and stadium litter picking Match Day Hospitality: Staff / player / visiting team / sponsor / hospitality catering, meeting and greeting Media Activities: Broadcasters, film-makers & video editors, camera technicians, media runners, match photographers, graphic designers, social media content creators, club marketing, website technicians, match reporters, editors & writers Matchday Experience: Flag-bearers & preparation, music & announcements, mascot & junior team co-ordinators Commercial Activities: Club Shop operators / sellers and programme sellers Fundraising Activities: Administration of fundraising activities, selling match day tickets and organising / co-ordinating new events Financial Activities: Accounting and book-keepers Plus many more….!! We’ll be holding a Volunteer’s Open Day on Saturday 6th July from 10am-12noon where you’ll have the chance to come and explore the club, have a chat with us, and get a feel for everything we do. Please note this date is for new volunteers only. At a follow-up day on Saturday 13th July, we will have a team of our current volunteers to dive into the specifics of each role and what we will be expecting you to do at each game. Volunteer Coordinator, Samantha Harman said: “Being a volunteer for Bury FC is great fun and so rewarding knowing we are giving something back to the club we love. “We are currently recruiting for various roles that would fit anyone. “If you feel you could make a difference for your club then I would 100% advise you to get involved.” Having a strong group of volunteers means that we can give our fans the most welcoming matchday experience every week, and helps to keep our costs down leading to a fully sustainable club long-term. Ideally, you will be able to commit to helping out at every home match, but whatever time you’re able to give will be gratefully accepted, and we want you to come and chat with us to give you a chance to see how you can help.

Check out our latest signings HERE! Standard Season Ticket Admission Prices* Adult £196 16-18 year old £100 Under 16s £50 Under 5s Free *excludes booking fee CLICK HERE TO BUY ONLINE Season tickets prices account for all 23 home league games (including VAT) and are able to be purchased in either the Main Stand or South Stand only. You have until 10th July to purchase if you want a printed Season Ticket card. Purchases after that date will be digital ticket only. U16 Season Ticket Giveaway: We will be holding an event at Gigg Lane on Saturday 22nd June from 11am, where there are 100 free U16 season tickets to be given away. More details will follow this week, so put this date in your diary. Reserved Seating: Supporters will be required to select their seat when purchasing online this season. Seats selected will be noted as ‘Reserved’ for all league games. Select the ticket you require to purchase, this opens up the Gigg Lane plan and from there you will be able to select your block of choice, and then row / seat number. Example provided below. Step 1 – Choose your ticket Step 2 – Choose your block Step 3 – Choose your seat Whilst we are permitting season ticket holders to reserve seats, there are occasions where we may need to ask people to change seat. We are completing some further work on the Main Stand so this is the most likely stand to require changes. However, we will try to ensure that an alternative seat is made available in the same stand. We have also blocked out a few sections which are not available for reservation. These are the hospitality and press areas in the Main Stand, and Blocks A and B in the South Stand, which will continue as the singing section. Anyone wishing to use Blocks A or B are advised to reserve a seat in South Stand Block J when choosing a ticket. We have also blocked out Blocks H and I in the Main Stand so that we can use this for away supporters, and save the cost of opening another stand for what will usually be a small number of away fans. Please take care when choosing your seat as we are unable to change it for you after purchase. The position of the pitch is shown by the green strip marked ‘Field’ which shows which way you will be facing. We have tried to use all the old row and seat numbers so it is as accurate as we could make it. If you decide you don’t like your seat there will be plenty of unreserved seating available. Purchasing more than one ticket: Season ticket purchases will be linked to the email address used at the time of purchase. The club may sometimes use the ticketing platform to contact ticket holders, for instance regards match updates or changes. Where tickets are purchased for separate households, we therefore recommend the use of individual email addresses to provide better communication links. Live Streaming: Included in all season tickets is access to any available Live Stream* from Gigg Lane. Access for this service is linked to the email address used to purchase the season ticket. To ensure receipt of your access, please ensure the email address input is correct for each ticket purchase. Multiple tickets purchased with the same email address will receive communications to the noted email address only. *not including Saturday 3pm kick-offs broadcast during the ‘blocked hour’ directive set out by UEFA. CLICK HERE TO BUY ONLINE Physical Season Tickets: All season ticket orders received by 10th July, will be printed onto a season ticket card that will be available to pick up from Gigg Lane in early August. Admission can be accessed via either the digital QR code or physical cards in this case. Season tickets bought after the 10th July will be digital only. Digital tickets can be accessed from the receipt within your email following purchase, or in the following ways: SMS Text Message (if phone number provided) Login to the TicketCo App (Google Play Store / Apple Store) Smartphone Wallet App (available on Android & iOS) Simply present your QR code from one of the available options above at the turnstile to gain admission.

Disabled Supporter & Carer Tickets: We have used the best practice guidance set out by Level Playing Field for ticketing and seating management for disabled supporters, as well as input from a small number of our own disabled fans and those at other clubs. This follows the concept of making a more considered ‘reasonable adjustment’ rather than just a concession on price. In accordance with this guidance, anyone with a disability requiring the assistance of a carer will be asked to purchase a ticket at full price, which then allows for a free carer ticket for someone to escort them to the game. Purchasers of free carer tickets will be contacted by email to provide evidence of disability which can be one of the following documents: Receipt of the mid-rate care element or the high-rate mobility component of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA), War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement or Personal Independence Payments (PIP). Receipt of either the Severe Disablement Allowance or Attendance Allowance. War Pensioners’ Mobility Allowance or War or Service Disablement Pension for 80% or more disability. Blind or partially sighted registration certificate (BD8 or CVI Certificate). Further advice can be found on the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) website. Confirmation in writing from Social Services that the individual is included on their Deaf Register, or a letter or report from an aural specialist confirming that hearing loss has been recorded at 70 – 95 dBHL or worse. Confirmation in writing from Social Services that the individual has a learning difficulty or disability. For children – a letter from the head teacher at a their school confirming eligibility will be acceptable. We reserve the right to cancel carer tickets where evidence is requested and not produced. There will be 30 blue badge holder car parking spaces available within the Gigg Lane car park, able to be secured for the season for FREE. Details on how to secure one of these will be provided in the coming days. NB: Please note we have a bug in the online system which doesn’t allow carers to choose from any seat, we are working to fix this. Hospitality Package Prices This season the club is able to offer three hospitality packages for supporters looking for that exclusive experience at Gigg Lane. These are available in Starkies, 1885 Suite and EyeLevel Sponsors Lounge.

We are delighted to announce we picked up two awards at the North West Counties awards dinner in Blackpool on Saturday night. Our matchday programme, The Shakers, won the Premier Division Programme of the Year award. A big thank you to programme editor, Chris Saville, and the team who contribute to pieces each week to make it best in the division last season. Our thanks also extends to our programme producer FootiePrint for meeting the often late deadlines, flexibility in dealing with frequent game re-arrangements and getting the high-quality printed copies to Gigg Lane for every game. The club also picked up the quarterly Respect Award for February, March & April 2024. The award is based on marks given by member clubs to each other for things like the friendly welcome received at the ground, good hospitality, and the way dressing rooms are left at away fixtures as examples. We are glad to have left a good impression on the clubs visited in this last quarter and thank them for their kind comments. We would like to thank the players and all those behind the scenes for their work which went towards securing this award at the end of last season. View the full article

As the new season draws closer we wanted to take the opportunity to update you with regards to changes we are making to matchday car parking. We currently have 182 spaces available on a matchday, the majority have these are taken up by matchday squads and staff, blue badge holders, disabled people, some volunteers, opposition boards and finally some 1885 members. We have the biggest car park in the division, having a car park of this size presents many operational challenges in terms of a booking in process and then managing it on the day as well which is unsustainable for a club that in the main operates off a volunteer base. As a result the following changes will be made for the upcoming season: 30 spaces will be allocated for blue badge holders/disabled. If you would like a space for the upcoming season please go onto TicketCo and pick a ticket for parking (£0 cost). You will then be required to attend the club reception (during opening hours) and collect a pass, you will be required to show a blue badge to obtain the pass. 52 spaces will be allocated to players and officials and boards. The remaining spaces will be on a first come first serve basis charged at £5 (cash only on the day and we would ask that were possible you have correct money). This decision has not been taken lightly but saves many man hours from an operational perspective whilst also driving further revenues for the club to invest in fan related activities. Surrounding Gigg Lane SatNav Postcode: BL9 9HR WhatThreeWords: ///issues.skins.span There is on-street parking in the residential areas surrounding Gigg Lane (as shown above), with supporters reminded to be respectful and considerate of the local residents at all times, as well as being mindful of and adhering to the parking permit measures in place in close proximity to the ground.

Over the last few weeks, the club have been working with Greater Manchester Police (GMP) on identifying the individuals who firstly invaded the pitch after the equalising goal was scored, and secondly those who were shown to be fighting with each other and this was portrayed on social media during our Play-off Final at Ericstan Park in early May. We are now able to provide you with a further update, following our statements last month. As a club, we wish to again re-iterate that this behaviour is completely unacceptable in today’s society and has no place at our community club. A handful of those identified for fighting have been arrested and are currently under investigation by GMP. We will continue to work alongside the relevant authorities in ensuring that they are banned from Gigg Lane. Today, we have also issued a number of banning letters in conjunction with our club sanctions policy around pitch encroachment. This process will be continuing over the next few weeks as we contact all those identified. In relation to these incidents the club has this week received a charge from the Manchester FA with a breach of rule E.21: ‘failing to control our supporters’. The charge centres around the following reported incidents: – throwing beer on officials, – the use of pyrotechnics which are prohibited, – fighting and finally, – encroachment of the pitch when the equalising goal was scored. This kind of behaviour leaves the club again in the spotlight with the FA for the wrong reasons and subject to sanctions as a result. The club will now put its case to the Manchester FA over the events that occurred. I have talked about behaviour a lot during my short time with the club, and whilst the majority of our fans attend the games in good spirits and support Dave and the team, the 1% are still causing the club considerable issues. My message to this 1% is if you cannot attend matches and behave appropriately, then you are simply not welcome. With so much excitement over the last few days around club signings, it really hurts to have to write these kind of messages. We look forward to the new season with optimism and look forward to welcoming back our genuine club supporters at Gigg Lane. It is key that the club provides the community with an environment that is safe and secure for all who attend. We continue to work to towards this goal.

We have enhanced and improved our hospitality packages for the 2024-25 season. We have a new catering firm in place who will be investing in the kiosks around the stadium, and updating the furniture in hospitality, firstly in the Sponsors Lounge and eventually in the 1885 Suite. We have put together three different packages at three different price points to provide more options. The food should be considerably improved this season. 1885 members will be served before the game rather than half time, Sponsors Lounge will be a two course meal, and a pie is included with the Starkies Pass. The packages do not include parking, as we have found this is not always used, but parking can be purchased at each game for £5 cash. This has allowed us to reduce the 1885 Suite package by £100. Both the 1885 and Sponsors Lounge season tickets include access to a specially reserved seating area above the bar areas.
