The competitive season is finally here! We welcome South Liverpool to Gigg Lane for our Emirates FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round tie. We had an outstanding run in the competition last season, reaching the Fourth Qualifying Round – before losing narrowly to Harborough Town. Our pre-season has been solid, rounding it off with a 3-1 victory against Wigan on Tuesday night. All about taking that momentum into the competitive action. In Opposition – South Liverpool South have won one and lost one of their opening two competitive games in the NWCFL Premier Division, an opening day defeat at home to Stockport Town 3-0, followed by a 3-1 victory at Atherton LR on Tuesday night. We picked up victories in both games against them last season, 2-0 at Gigg Lane and 1-0 at Jericho Lane. The club came into existence just 90 years ago this year and was relaunched in 1991.

We are delighted to confirm the signing of winger Ryan Atkinson, who will join Northwich Victoria immediately on loan. A product of Chester’s academy, he was awarded the Peter Mitchell Trophy, the Academy’s prestigious Players’ Player of the Year, a testament to both his talent and character on and off the pitch. Ryan has featured for us off the bench in pre-season games against Chester & Ashton Athletic. Manager, Dave McNabb said: “Ryan came into preseason and really impressed in every season and game. His ability is clearly evident, but he’s also very switched on for such a young lad. “Consistent game time is key to Ryan’s development, so an agreement for him to go straight out on loan to Vics works perfectly for all parties.” The club will monitor Ryan’s development throughout the season, and we thank Northwich for aiding his development in adult football. New signings are brought to you in association with S&S Northern. View the full article

Bury Football Club is proud to announce the beginning of a comprehensive Strategic Plan Review, designed to shape the future direction of the club across four key pillars: Football, Community, Commercial, and Stadium. As we move forward, it’s vital that the voices of our supporters, volunteers, partners, and the wider Bury community are heard. To ensure this, we are starting with a series of small, focused group discussions. These focus groups will provide an open and constructive environment for participants to share ideas and contribute to the long-term vision of the club. This first stage marks an important step in building a stronger, more sustainable Bury FC — one that honours our heritage while embracing innovation and opportunity for the future. Our Four Strategic Pillars: Football: Developing a clear pathway for players, coaches, and teams across all levels. Community: Strengthening our connection with local people, groups, and initiatives. Commercial: Building sustainable revenue streams and strong partnerships. Stadium: Enhancing our home, Gigg Lane, to better serve fans and the community. We will be inviting a diverse range of stakeholders to take part in these focus groups to ensure we have a variety of views from across our fanbase, with initial communications to be released in the coming weeks. Further opportunities for wider public involvement will follow. Thank you for your continued support. Together, we can build a stronger future for Bury Football Club. View the full article

We welcome Ryan Lowe and Nicky Adams back to Gigg Lane as Ryan prepares for his first full season as Wigan manager and Nicky as his first-team coach. The Latics completed their official pre-season programme on Saturday with a 2-1 win at Tranmere Rovers. Wigan may see this is a gentle bonus fixture, but it gives our players a chance to test themselves against a team from a League One club. There’s quiet satisfaction at Gigg Lane with the outcome of our pre-season programme – played six, won three, drawn two, lost one. The 3-2 defeat at Radcliffe on Saturday was perhaps a fitting outcome to a great, competitive game in which we more than held our own. It means Radcliffe hold the trophy in memory of their late chairman, the inspirational Paul Hilton for the next 12 months. Catch all the interviews & highlights below. In Opposition – Wigan Athletic Wigan have been in the Football League for the last 46 years and have had some remarkable ups and downs. They were in the Premier League from 2005 to 2013, beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final as a prelude to relegation to the Championship. They’re now in League One, and three years ago survived as a club only thanks to a takeover by Wigan-born billionaire businessman Mike Danson. He came to the rescue after the club was served with a winding up order by HM Revenue and Customs. Ryan Lowe’s association with Bury goes back many years. He served us brilliantly as player, player-coach and manager. Nicky Adams had four spells with us, and joined Ryan at Wigan after calling time on his long playing career.

With just a week until the competitive season gets underway, we travel to Radcliffe for the first of our final two pre-season fixtures. The tie pays tribute to late Radcliffe Chairman Paul Hilton who passed away suddenly at the end of September, a week before the two sides met in the Third Qualifying Round of the FA Cup. His passing left a lasting impact on everyone at Radcliffe, following the loss of a man who dedicated the last eight years of his life to the vast improvement and success of the football club, the community, and the town.

 A minute’s applause will take place for Paul ahead of kick-off. Radcliffe will offer a tough test, going into their second season in the National League North. We come off the back of a 9-3 win against Cheadle Town on Tuesday night, highlights and reaction below: In Opposition – Radcliffe Just three miles separates Gigg Lane from the Neuven Stadium, and a pre-season fixture between the two sides has been in this history books for years gone by. Radcliffe are heading into their second season in the National League North after promotion from the NPL. Last season, the two clubs met in the FA Cup, with the Shakers coming out on top.

Bury Football Club is proud to announce a new charitable partnership with Jason Yeo and Prost8, a UK-based charity dedicated to raising awareness and expanding access to minimally invasive treatments for early-stage prostate cancer. This partnership marks a significant step in our ongoing commitment to community wellbeing, men’s health, and early cancer detection. Through this collaboration, we aim to help break the stigma around prostate cancer, encourage open conversations, and support Prost8’s vital work in funding modern, life-changing treatment options across the country. Why Prost8? Every year, thousands of men are diagnosed with prostate cancer, many of them with early-stage disease where modern treatments can offer excellent outcomes with fewer side effects. Prost8 is leading the charge in making these options more widely available and educating the public on the importance of early detection. Huge thanks to Bury FC volunteer Warren Stone for not only facilitating the partnership but raising £130 which is being donated to The Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal. Thanks also to club partner NB Signs for generously producing the Prost8 advertising board that is now featured on the Main Stand at Gigg Lane. Up the Shakers – and up the fight against prostate cancer! View the full article
