The festive football continues in Merseyside this Saturday, as we head to The Marine Travel Arena to take on AFC Liverpool. The boys got the result an expectant Boxing Day crowd were wanting, by overcoming Prestwich Heys on Tuesday. Two goals from captain Tom Moore sent home the majority of the 4,833 inside Gigg Lane happy with three points as a late Christmas present. Highlights of that victory are available at our YouTube channel below. The win put some breathing space between us and Heys, who sat in third ahead of the game. Wythenshawe Town beating league-leaders Wythenshawe in the big derby game brought the summit into sight again, but brings Town closer to the top too. Every game matters, with points at a premium. AFC Liverpool sit in 19th with 32 points, and two wins in the last six. One of those was against Wythenshawe at the Marine Travel Arena, and are therefore not to be taken lightly. A win takes us top as we head into 2024. Get down to the game, the lads need your support. All your match information is below. This week in ‘Playing Away’ – placing the spotlight on the NWCFL, we caught up with AFC Liverpool stalwart and matchday PA Announcer Alan Harrison, to discuss all things “Affordable Football Club” Liverpool ahead of our clash this weekend. You can watch the episode below. Opponents AFC Liverpool was formed in 2008 by 1,000 Liverpool FC fans who had become increasingly frustrated at the cost and difficulty in obtaining tickets for Premier League matches. The mooted ‘39th game’, in which Premier League fixtures would be played in different parts of the world, proved to be the final straw as it clearly highlighted that those who ran top flight football were more concerned with money than its fans. A website was created and, with the response being positive, work began to move to the next stage and create a steering group to make the club a reality. At the beginning of March 2008, AFC Liverpool was officially formed and it was made clear that the club was not in any way a response to the contentious ownership issue at Anfield or as a protest against Liverpool Football Club. It was a response to issues at the top end of football in general. Originally ground-sharing with Prescot Cables, and accepted into the North West Counties, they won 10 of their opening 11 games, consolidating their position in the league for the first three seasons. AFC Liverpool benefitted from clubs being demoted and expelled from the league in 2011, accepting their position in the Premier Division for the 2011-12 season. They stayed in the First Division North again until 2021, when the results of the two curtailed COVID seasons were used to re-structure the leagues. AFC Liverpool again benefitted from a strong set of results and resumed in the Premier Division from the 2021-22 season. Tickets Advance tickets for this game are now offsale but AFC Liverpool are offering a pay on the gate facility with both cash and card available. Prices are listed below.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Jimmy Holmes as the club’s new Head of Recruitment. The arrival of Jimmy to a newly-created role is another significant development in implementing a new player recruitment strategy for the club. Having enjoyed previous roles at Manchester City, Morecambe and most recently Macclesfield, Jimmy is vastly experienced and together with his contacts in the game and his track record in recruitment he is a valuable addition as we look to move forward as a club. Working alongside manager Dave McNabb and his management team, Jimmy will oversee the structure for the identification of new players, including a regional and national scouting system. Jimmy admitted that he was excited to be working for such an historic club: “I’m delighted to be here. Bury is a massive club especially for the level that they currently find themselves at. Having spoken to the management and directors over the past few weeks, their vision and plans for the future made this opportunity something I just couldn’t turn down. It’s a similar project to what I took on 2/3 years ago when I was approached by Macclesfield to go in and build them a squad from scratch. With the help of some fantastic people at the club we went on to win back-to-back leagues and that is something that we aim to do again this time for Bury. We’ve got to make sure we get the recruitment right moving forward. Players who can develop, and become sellable assets or move up the leagues with Bury. We were very successful at my previous clubs with this model. I’ll take a look at players who fit the remit of the club and then pass them onto the Manager, who will get the final say. It is, afterall, down to a Manager on team selection so it’s vital that they want that player moving forward.” Welcome to Bury Football Club, Jimmy! #ShakersTogether | #BuryFC | #PartofIt View the full article

The festive season starts up with a visit to the Community Ground and back to Burscough this weekend, as matters in the NWCFL resume. In fact, it is NWCFL action from here on in after our exit from the Macron Cup last weekend at Gigg Lane. The loss by a single goal to Charnock Richard directs focus on just the league now, with 21 league games to go. And there will be recent wrongs to put right, with our last visit to Burscough to play Skelmersdale in late November being a disappointment and the squad returning with no points following a 2-1 loss. However, there is cause for great optimism in the league. A run of six wins out of seven has meant we keep up the pace at the top, with Wythenshawe two points ahead at the top and a Prestwich Heys side, who visit Gigg Lane on Boxing Day, just a point behind in third. With the rush of Christmas fixtures maybe arriving too quickly for injured forward due of Andy Briggs and Benito Lowe, manager Dave McNabb will be pleased to have Dec Daniels back after his debut goal at Longridge, after he was cup-tied last weekend. The striker, with 34 goals already this term, will be looking to capitalise on the number of chances being created, which currently don’t reflect in the number of times the ball hits the back of the net. McNabb spoke about this in his post-match interview last week, which you can find below. Heading to Burscough? You full match information pack can be found here. This week in ‘Playing Away’ – placing the spotlight on the NWCFL, we caught up with Burscough Commercial Director, Neil Wilson and manager David Dempsey, to discuss all things Burscough ahead of our clash this weekend.

In a season of new starts and reconnecting with football in our town, the return of a Boxing Day fixture at Gigg Lane places another tick in the box of all Bury supporters, as we welcome Prestwich Heys for a local derby clash this festive period. With the ground left to ruin from 2019, the roar of a Gigg Lane crowd on Boxing Day went with it. And all who have been involved with its return will no doubt be ‘walking down the the Manny Road’ with beaming smiles this year to witness what is set to be a Christmas cracker of a game. However, the less said about the last Boxing Day fixture at Gigg Lane, the better! Newly-appointed manager, club legend Chris Lucketti, precided over his first home game in charge, and looking to propel the Shakers from their lowly position at the foot-of-the-table after a dreadful start to the season which had seen Lee Clark leave his post in October. The ‘new manager bounce’ didn’t work however, and the visitors on the day Rotherham United ran out 3-0 winners in front of a crowd of 4,630. We hope for much better result this time around! For all the details of this big local derby, the full match information pack can be found below. In Opposition – Prestwich Heys The origins of Prestwich Heys AFC can be traced back to February 9th 1938 when a meeting was called at the Music Room of the Heys Road Boys School at which Elgar Lumsden put forward the idea of forming an Old Boys Association. Despite the onset of the Second World War a year later, the Association flourished under the Chairmanship of Proctor Bell, who also acted as Secretary of the football arm, known as Heys Old Boys AFC and was acknowledged as one of the region’s best. The team gradually progressed through the Bury Amateur League and in to the South East Lancashire League claiming Championships in 1960, 1961 and 1964. Under the guidance of Peter Gilmore in the sixties, Heys won the prestigious Lancashire Amateur Cup in 1967 followed by the one and only Lancashire Combination Grand Slam in the 1970/71 season with Heys bringing all four trophies available back to Grimshaws. The club also changed its name in 1964 to Prestwich Heys AFC, an acknowledgement of the fame achieved by the club as they proved one of the nations top amateur clubs. Thousands flocked to see Heys play, and beat, the likes of Sutton United, Ferryhill Athletic, Finchley and Highgate United in the FA Amateur Cup with the clubs best run taking Heys to the last 16. The victory over Sutton United in 1969 ranks as one of Heys most famous moments, attracting nationwide coverage, coming a week before their opponents were due to meet Leeds United in the FA Cup. The above has been taken from the history section of the Prestwich Heys website, read more here. In more recent seasons, Heys re-entered the NWCFL in 2017 (following a stint in the divisions in the early-80s) before gaining promotion to the Premier Division during the covid league re-shuffle in 2021. The side finished 7th last season, and are looking to improve on that this season, comfortably sat inside the play-off positions going into the festive period.

In our final home game before the Christmas period, we have some important things to note ahead of the game for supporters attending at Gigg Lane this weekend. Starkies The newly-refurbished Starkies bar We have finally received notification of permitted numbers and from this weekend, the bar in Starkies will be open before, during and briefly after the game with a private function due later in the evening. Supporters who are seated in the Main Stand will have access to Starkies from the point the ground opens at 1.30pm, with ALL supporters able to gain access to the bar after game up to the allowable capacity. We are delighted that the hard work, time and money that has gone into refurbishing this area for supporters to gather during games has finally come to fruition. We look forward to welcoming all this weekend and onwards. Please bear with us as we manage demand and refine the process over the coming weeks. Santa visits Gigg From the Pilkington programme In an event originally planned for our home game with Ramsbottom United, which was postponed on Saturday 9th December, Santa has kindly re-jigged his busy schedule at this time of year to visit Gigg Lane ahead of the Charnock game. Santa will be on the club car park between 1.30-2.30pm. Grab your picture, let him know what you would really like under the tree next week and there will be some small treats to give out to those who have been very good this year. This event has been set up in conjunction with our good friends at The Rotary Club of Ramsbottom and on behalf of Bury Hospice. The collection buckets will be out in force for our generous supporters can give everything they can. We really appreciate it! For more information on Bury Hospice and the Rotary Club of Ramsbottom, click on the below links: Children’s Hospital – Toy Collection In our area, very poorly children are served at either the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital or Royal Bolton Hospital. In this festive season, we are getting behind the efforts and providing support for the Children’s Ward at the Royal Bolton Hospital. In an event always planned for this weekend’s fixture, we are asking supporters to donate new toys to distribute to the unfortunate children who will spend their Christmas in hospital. As supporter David Hutton, who’s daughter Isla spent two Christmases at the Royal Bolton, explains in the below article taken from the programme last month: “A toy received while in hospital is extra special.” David’s piece in the programme last month We will be collecting toys in the Main Entrance of the Main Stand ahead of the game and Santa will be delivering these gifts directly to the hospital later in the day. Unfortunately, we cannot accept cuddly toys or anything inappropriate for young children, like toy weapons etc. #ShakersTogether | #BuryFC | #PartofIt View the full article
