Clamp down on Anti-Social Behaviour
Despite another great result on the road this weekend, it was not without problems. Particularly those of anti-social behaviour which the club take very seriously and which all of us need to tackle to make the environment on matchdays welcoming for all. Any observations of disorder of any kind are reported to the league and to the County FA. Such reports will inevitably bring charges against the club for which there is a risk of large financial penalties. Continued indiscretions also risk the club being penalised, the most severe being the playing of games behind closed doors. This would be catastrophic for the club. Whilst many fans see this as just a game of football and a release from the day-to-day stresses of life, the football authorities and the club will not tolerate such behaviour. We have put in place a disciplinary procedure and clear sanctions for any unacceptable behaviour. These are displayed at the turnstiles, alongside the ground regulations. The club will not fail to take action against individuals where necessary. All fans should remember that this is our club and we are judged on the behaviour of even the smallest minority of supporters. Should we wish to continue to grow and at some stage return professional football to the town, we can only do so by removing such behaviour from our matches. Please therefore do not turn a blind eye and bring any reports of disorder to the club’s attention. The best way to do this is by reporting any incidents on the day, at the game, to the stewards in attendance around the ground who can deal with any issues in line with ground regulations. If this is not possible, supporters are requested to contact the club direct via email by clicking below and enclosing any supporting information to assist the club in dealing with the matter. Email about an incident There are other avenues for supporters to contact managing authorities directly to report on behaviours we all want rid of within the game. Click on the below logos to contact either the Manchester FA, Kick-It Out, True Vision and HerGameToo. You can also download the Kick-It Out app that enables on-the-spot reporting of incidents (links below): Android Link / iOS Link Help our club be one of the best around, by enforcing a zero-tolerance approach to anti-social behaviour of any kind. We welcome all supporters coming together to make Bury games, whilst atmospheric and fun, also welcoming and respectful to all who attend.

Match Info: West Didsbury & Chorlton (A), Sat 28th Oct, 3pm KO
What a way to follow up a bad result: two wins and two clean sheets, in-front of two bumper crowds at Gigg Lane in the past week, which put us clear at the top of the league as we head to another play-off chasing side this Saturday. The Step Places Stadium is the venue for a sell-out clash, as fifth placed West Didsbury & Chorlton welcome the top-of-the-table Shakers to South Manchester. West’s form of two wins in seven league games will no doubt be a concern to manager Chris Rowley, but if the reverse fixture from early September is anything to go by – we are in for some fireworks. Benito Lowe’s return from early season injury was timed perfectly, as he swiveled past his marker with added time almost up to place the ball into the top corner and send the majority of the 3,838 crowd home delighted following a pulsating 4-3 win. Recap the best bits, with our highlights below. Incoming: Dan Cockerline Just ahead of tonight's game, we are delighted to announce the signing of forward Dan Cockerline from Newcastle Town! He goes straight into tonight's squad….team news coming shortly!#BuryFC | #PartofIt pic.twitter.com/39ytlgVnhc — Bury Football Club (@buryfcofficial) October 24, 2023 A 4-0 drubbing of Wythenshawe Town last weekend, with a debut hat-trick from Joe Duckworth was followed up with a more workmanlike performance against a lowly-placed Squires Gate on Tuesday. The game saw Lowe grab his 11th of the season and become the difference between the two sides. He left the field with strapping on his thigh, and of equal concern to manager Dave McNabb, Andy Scarisbrick left the field hobbling in the second half following a nasty challenge. McNabb hope will pull up in time for the trip to West, otherwise their will no doubt be a scrap for the starting number nine shirt, with Dan Cockerline (right) joining Andy Briggs on the subs bench just before kick-off on Tuesday. Both will be vying to be on the teamsheet come Saturday at 3pm. With a current record of seven wins from the last 10 is impressive, the manager admitted to a questioning of the squad’s mentality at points on Tuesday night. He will be pleased no doubt that whilst struggling at stages against Gate, the side still came away with the win – the sign of a good side in development. The wins keep putting the pressure onto the chasing pack, who return to league action this weekend – with Wythenshawe taking on FC Isle of Man and Kendal Town traveling to nearby Ramsbottom United. Let’s see where the land lies at 5pm on Saturday but for now, all your pre-match information is available below.

West reached the Premier Division for the very first time in 2022, following the winning of the Division One South league.

Captain – Tom Moore
Tom Moore has been confirmed as the new club captain of Bury Football Club. Manager Dave McNabb hosted a vote amongst the players and staff, to choose the new captain with Tom selected to lead the team in this new era. Moore joined from Bootle only a matter of weeks ago, but has impressed as a towering presence in defence, as well as showing skills with the ball at his feet. Being able to offer either cross-field diagonals or quick balls into our forwards with precision has formed an important part of the new manager’s tactical plans. Charlie Doyle will be vice-captain with Oliver Jepson as third choice. Senior players, Andy Scarisbrick and Chris Rowney will make up the leadership group of five. The manager gave buryfc.co.uk his thoughts on the decision: “Being a fan-owned club, we see the responsibility placed on the members to chose who they feel is right to lead and represent them. With this in mind, I felt it was right for the players to pick their own leader. A player who would represent them and the football club going forward. “I’m over the moon for Tom who has shown tremendous leadership qualities since coming into the club. He dedicates himself to being the best he can be with his tireless work ethic and commitment. I’m sure he will set a positive example to the whole group and lead Bury Football Club for many years to come. “A huge congratulations to Charlie and Oli also. Again, two very professional lads who always put the team before themselves. They will help support Tom in his new role and alongside Chris Rowney and Andy Scarisbrick the five of them will also act as a leadership group within the squad. “Congratulations lads, and good luck.” We also offer our congratulations to Tom and all of the leadership group. We will have reaction from the new club captain this evening after the game. Get on down to Gigg Lane tonight to Tom lead the side out for the first time, grab your ticket HERE. #ShakersTogether | #BuryFC | #PartofIt View the full article

Match Info: Wythenshawe Town (H), Sat 21st Oct, 3pm KO
Last Saturday saw a frustrating league defeat away at Chadderton, Dave McNabb’s Shakers took the lead through Andy Scarisbrick just before half-time, and then Oli Jepson doubled inside six second-half minutes. Chadderton pulled it back to 2-1 just before the hour mark, before two late goals gave the side all three points. We now move on to Saturday afternoon, as we look to set get a league double over Wythenshawe Town, after a dramatic win earlier in the season. Relive the game by clicking on the video below: You can watch Dave McNabb’s post match interview following the Chadderton game below. In Opposition – Wythenshawe Town Early Days: The club was founded in 1946 as the North Withington Amateur Football Club and was the idea of some young men who attended St. Crispin’s Church on Hart Road in Fallowfield. The club first played in the South Manchester & Wythenshawe League (1946 – 1958) and were subsequently transferred to the Lancashire & Cheshire Amateur league (1958 – 1972). Manchester League & Timpson Road: It was in 1972 the club applied and were accepted into the Manchester League, when up until 1974 all games of football were played at Hough End Field, Princess Road, Withington. In June 1974, under the helm of Chairman Billy Moore, the club’s headquarters were moved from the Princess Hotel in Withington to the newly acquired ground at Timpson Road, Baguley, M23 9LL where three pre-fabricated houses were purchased and turned into a clubhouse with a bar, kitchen and changing facilities. After numerous discussions, it was decided to name the ground after the residing Chairman (Stan Hahn) and the Club Secretary (Eric Renard) out of respect, honouring them as founding members, hence the name Ericstan Park. And it was at this point, the club decided to design a new badge incorporating a cockerel and a fox; the cockerel related to founding member Stanley Hahn (the German for cockerel is Hähnchen) and the fox to founding member Eric Renard (the French for fox is Renard), to forever recognise the club’s founding members. Cheshire League & The Invincibles: In 2014 and under new Chairman Kenny Hope, the club transferred to the Cheshire League Division 2 and went on to become history-makers, making national headlines as they won every single league and Cup game, 39 games in total, earning the side the title, ‘The Invincibles.’ Back to back promotions on their debut in the Cheshire League, and with a working partnership in place with professional football club Fleetwood Town, the club set their sights firmly on bringing semi-professional football to the club for the first time in history. The North-West Counties Football League & Semi-Pro Football: That ambition came to realisation at the end of the 2017/18 season after two seasons in the Cheshire Premier League when the club secured promotion to Step 6 and the Hallmark Security North West Counties League South Division, heralding a new era at the club. There were further changes at the beginning of 2019 when Chris Eaton took over as Chairman with a promise to put the club on a sound business footing. Promotion was narrowly missed at the end of the season but with Manager James Kinsey and his coaching team in charge, the club looked forward to the new campaign with optimism. The optimism proved well-founded as the club showed its confidence in the players and management team was justified with some remarkable highlights and a run in the league that left them in third place and looking forward to a future in the next level. Their greatest run of success was in the FA Vase where a series of victories against Goole Town, Nostell Miners Welfare, Skelmersdale United, and Northwich Victoria saw them matched against competition favourites big-spending Consett Town. A draw at home saw Wythenshawe visit the North-East for the replay but the FA’s experimental rule-change for the competition saw the team short of six players while their opponents had a full squad to choose from. Even so it was a narrow one-nil defeat that saw their visions of Wembley come to an end. The highlight of the season was a remarkable two-one away victory over high flying National League North stars Curzon Ashton in the Frank Hannah Manchester Senior Cup and their last game before the season was ended by COVID-19 was in the semi-final of the Division One Cup against Sandbach United. The decision to declare the season null and void robbed the club of what looked to be a certain promotion. Seven out of Seven and then COVID: Season 2020-21 saw a remarkable start to the campaign with seven straight wins and 29 goals scored against just 3 in return. Once again, the season was ended by COVID, and it looked as if once again frustration was the order of the day. However, the club got the news it so richly deserved when the FA made the decision to base promotion on the records of the two curtailed seasons and Wythenshawe Town found themselves starting the new campaign in the Premier Division. There was progress off the field as well at the beginning of 2021, when Chairman Chris Eaton, with the unanimous backing of the members, turned the club into a limited company with a promise of great things to come. Success and Reward: The 2021-22 season proved to be an outstanding campaign with a run in the FA Vase and a close finish in the League. Victories against Litherland REMYCA, Bacup Borough, Seaham Red Star, Holker OB, Billingham Synthonia, red-hot favourites Consett AFC and Anstey Nomads saw them reach the dizzy heights of an FA Vase Quarter Final at Loughborough Students. However, it proved one hurdle too far and the visions of Wembley were dashed. After the first few weeks Town were never out of the top three places in the league and it went right up to the final day when they were pipped by just a single point. Wythenshawe Town’s achievements didn’t go unrecognised, and they received two great honours at the League Presentation Evening. Manager James Kinsey was rewarded for three years of hard work and dedication when he received the Manager of The Year Award for the Premier Division and the club’s attitude to discipline on the field saw them received the Fair Play Award. The Summer of 2023 saw Manager James Kinsey depart for Stalybridge Celtic and a new regime at Ericstan Park was announced with the appointment of Rory Fallon and his Management Team. Tickets & Admission General sale tickets are available online HERE, which includes hospitality tickets in the Main Stand.

He’s made 52 appearances for the club across their last two seasons, scoring 23 goals. Joe’s breakout season was at Winsford United in the 2018/19 season, which brought a total of 28 goals in 47 games across two seasons at the Barton Stadium. He also had a spell with FC United of Manchester playing for them in the Fenix Trophy, scoring three goals in as many games as well as grabbing a goal in the New Years Day 2022 clash against Radcliffe. Duckworth in action for Witton earlier this season – photo: Karl Brooks The manager gave buryfc.co.uk his thoughts on Joe joining up this week: “Joe’s a player I’ve admired for a long time. He’s quick and direct and gives us a different option across the top line. “We hope this is another player who excites the supporters, and that those fans will get behind him, and all the team, in pursuit of the goals required to propel is forward.” Joe also reacted to his move to up Bury from Cheshire: “I am over the moon to have signed for Bury, ever since speaking to the manager it became an opportunity I could not turn down for several reasons. “His ambition is one that matches mine and I cannot wait to be playing in front of the fantastic fans, who support the team in numbers week-in, week-out. Time to get together and achieve promotion.” Get on down to Gigg Lane this weekend to see Joe in action, grab your ticket HERE. #ShakersTogether | #BuryFC | #PartofIt View the full article

Match Info: Chadderton (A), Sat 14th Oct, 3pm KO
Dave McNabb’s side come into Saturday’s game away at Chadderton with a full week of training behind them after last weekend’s emphatic win away at Barnoldswick Town. A squad made up of mainly Under 23s featured in Tuesday night’s Manchester Cup tie away at Glossop North End, which ended 2-0 to the oppositions. Shakeel Jones-Griffiths & Lewis Gilboy also featured in the squad for the midweek trip, giving them both an opportunity to step up into a senior role. In Opposition – Chadderton The club was established in 1946 as Burnley Lane Estate Juniors and initially played in the Middleton Youth League. The following year the club moved to Mill Brow, started an adult team and were renamed Millbrow Football Club. After moving again the club was renamed North Chadderton Amateurs. At the time, the club played in the Oldham Amateur League, winning its Challenge Cup in 1954–55. They moved up to the Manchester Amateur League, winning the North division in 1955–56 and adopting their current name in 1957. At the end of the 1958–59 season Chadderton were promoted to Division One. They were Division One champions in 1962–63, and also started playing in Division Two of the Manchester League. They were runners-up in Division Two in both 1962–63 and 1963–64, before winning the division in 1964–65. However, they were not promoted.[5] The division was renamed Division One in 1966 and Chadderton were champions again in 1966–67, after which they were promoted to the Premier Division. In 1980 Chadderton moved up to the Lancashire Combination. When the league merged with the Cheshire County League in 1982 to form the North West Counties League, Chadderton were founder members of Division Two. A third-place finish in 1988–89 saw them promoted to Division One. However, they finished bottom of Division One the following season and were relegated back to Division Two. Despite only finishing eleventh in 1991–92, the club were promoted to Division One again. They played in Division One until being demoted at the end of the 1997–98 season due to failing ground grading requirements. Division Two was renamed Division One in 2008. A sixth-place finish in 2014–15 season saw Chadderton qualify for the promotion play-offs. However, they lost 2–1 to AFC Darwen in the semi-finals. In 2018 the club were placed in Division One North when the league gained another division. In 2022–23 they were runners-up in Division One North, qualifying for the play-offs. In the semi-finals they beat Euxton Villa on penalties after a 1–1 draw, before going on to defeat FC St Helens on penalties in the final (after another 1–1 draw), earning promotion to the Premier Division.

Incoming: Billy Reeves & Tom Moore
Bury Football Club can announce the arrival of a further two additions, as midfielder Billy Reeves and defender Tom Moore joined this week following their free transfer from Bootle. Both players joined McNabb at Bootle in the summer, alongside other new players Andy Scarisbrick and Charlie Doyle, and bring in significant experience from their time in the Northern Premier League. Billy Reeves in action for Bootle – photo: Will Griffiths Reeves, 26, was in the Port Vale academy structure as a youth, playing for Witton Albion, Hyde United and Stafford Rangers in separate spells on loan before being released at Vale Park. Continuing in non-league, the energetic midfielder found a home at Leek Town from 2018, playing over 130 times over a five-year period before making the move to Bootle this year. Tom Moore – photo: Will Griffiths 24-year-old Tom Moore arrives to bolster central defence. Previously playing for Marine, Droylsden and Widnes – Tom joined Connah’s Quay Nomads in 2021, scoring in a UEFA Conference League qualifying round whilst with the Nomads. Spending last season at Runcorn Linnets, he joined McNabb at New Bucks Park in July – featuring consistently so far this season. The manager gave buryfc.co.uk his thoughts on the latest additions: “I’m really pleased to get Tom and Billy in. I’ve worked with both players before and they both know and understand the standards and expectations that are required. “I feel that both Tom and Billy will really add to the group and are both still capable of improving and I believe they will grow with the club.” Both Billy and Tom go into contention for the weekend, as we head to Chadderton.

Jimmy hangs up his boots
The club are sad to report that Jimmy Moore has informed us that he is hanging up his boots with immediate effect. Jimmy arrived in Bury in 2020, amassing 85 appearances and six goals, as well as captaining the side on occassion. His passion and strength key assets to the Andy Welsh side that was promoted as champions from NWCFL Division One North in 2021-22. Returning to the side in recent weeks, Jimmy has been involved in our resurgence at the top of the league, capping off his career with a goal and a clean sheet in his last game, Saturday’s 7-0 win at Barnoldswick Town. Moore has cited recent changes, both personally and professionally, as reasons for turning his attention away from playing. We caught up Jimmy, who wanted to thank the club, and of course, the fans, for their great support: “Thank you to everyone who has supported me in my time at the club. Playing for Bury has been an honour, and I am extremely proud to have represented your club.” Manager Dave McNabb was also disappointed to be losing an experienced head from the squad, wishing Jimmy well for his future out of the game: “Jimmy’s going to be a big loss to the team, the changing room and the club as a whole. He’s been a leader on and off the pitch and I’d like to thank him for everything he’s done to help since I came into the club. “Jimmy’s decision did come as a surprise on Monday evening but we’ve got to respect his decision and use this as an opportunity to celebrate the great player he’s been for the club.” We want to wish Jimmy all the very best as his playing career comes to a close, he will be fondly remembered by many and welcome back at Gigg Lane at any time. Once a Shaker, Always a Shaker. Go well, Jimmy! View the full article

Match Info: Glossop North End (A), Tue 10th Oct, 7.45pm KO
It’s just 10 days since our last trip to Surrey Street in Glossop, this time it’s the turn of the Frank Hannah Manchester Premier Cup. Dave McNabb confirmed in his post-match interview (below) on Saturday that a squad of Under 23s will make up the squad, under the management of Leon Mike & Stephen Sheil. It gives McNabb an opportunity to be able to see the younger players in the club. Saturday saw an emphatic 7-0 away win at Barnoldswick (highlights below), which saw six different scorers. The pick of the bunch, being Connor Comber’s thunder strike, which may well be a goal of the season contender. In Opposition – Glossop North End The club was founded in 1886 and joined the North Cheshire League four years later. Glossop spent two seasons each in The Combination and the Midland League, before moving to North Road and being elected into the Football League Second Division in 1898. Having been promoted in the 1898–99 season, they spent one season in the First Division. During this period the club was bankrolled by Sir Samuel Hill-Wood, who was later to become chairman of Arsenal. The club retains some connections with Arsenal. Glossop were relegated in 1900 and spent the next fifteen seasons in the Second Division, before exiting the Football League during World War I. Post-war, they spent 1920 to 1957 in the Manchester League, being crowned champions in 1927–28. They moved from the Lancashire Combination back to the Manchester League in 1966, and then spent four seasons in the Cheshire County League from 1978 before the North West Counties was formed in 1982 in which Glossop were founder members, they had a 33-year stint in the league before winning the Premier Division title at the end of the 2014–15 campaign. They were beaten finalists in the FA Vase in 2009 and 2015. In April 2023 GNE were relegated from Step 4 after a period of eight years, ending manager Stuart Mellish’s two-year stint at the helm. Michael Worthington was appointed as manager in the summer of 2023 as the Hillmen head into their first season back in the NWCFL.
