Double winners following NWCFL awards dinner
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

2024/25 Season: Gigg Lane Car Park Policy
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.

Club Statement – Further Update on Supporter Behaviour
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 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. We will also be inviting former Bury players to meet guests in the Sponsors Lounge, as well as the current players and management team.

Standard season tickets will go on sale in the next few days. Starkies Pass Exclusive membership club for the 2024/25 season for up to 70 people who will have VIP access to Starkies on home matchdays before and during the game.
