Match Info: Barnoldswick Town (A), Sat 7th Oct, 3pm KO
They love a debut goal the Jepsons. It was the opening game of the 96/97 season when Stan Ternant’s new signing Ronnie Jepson scored in a home draw against Brentford. This past Tuesday, over 27 years since that one all draw, Ronnies son Oli Jepson scored a peach of a header in front of the home fans on his Shakers Debut. Oli wasn’t the only one to find the back of the net with Benito Lowe bagging a brace (Anyone else been singing that song ever since?) and Connor Comber finding the top bins from twenty yards out, rounding off a 4 – 2 win and phenomenal second half display from Dave McNabbs men in white. You can watch the highlights from this game below. With teams around us either stumbling or not playing The Shakers find ourselves at the top of the league as we approach the weekend and coming into a vein of form having won in four of our last five games. With that in mind we travel to Barnoldswick this coming Saturday to take on another in form team at the Silent Night Stadium. All the information you will require for your trip to Barlick is available below. In Opposition – Barnoldswick Town Formed in 1972 and named Barnoldswick United(1972) – so called due to being canny Yorkshiremen- had there been a previous club named Barnoldswick United and they had outstanding debts the new club would have been liable for them. The field started out as a grazing meadow for cattle, after a lot of hard work, it is now the pitch we play on. The club had 2 teams playing in the Craven & District Football League, in the early 1990’s we joined the East Lancashire Football League again with 2 teams. In the late 1990’s we had 3 teams our 1st & 2nd team teams joined The West Lancashire Football League, our 3rds staying in The East Lancashire League. The 2003/2004 season brought the amalgamation of Barnoldswick United (1972), Barnoldswick Park Rovers and Salterforth Juniors and we changed our name to Barnoldswick Town Football Club. It has always been in the club’s constitution to get our ground up to the minimum standards of The North West Counties Football League and the 2009/2010 season saw us accepted into The North West Counties Football League. Alongside our main pitch we have a floodlit training pitch. Our club house can hold up to 100 people and be hired out for functions. Our main sponsor is Silentnight Beds Ltd and the ground is named The Silentnight Stadium. In 2009/2010 our first season in The NWCFL saw us finish runners up in Division 1 and finalists in the prestigious West Riding County Cup beating Guiseley who won promotion to the Conference North along the way. It was an interesting season as we only expected to hold our own and try to make sure we didn’t end up at the bottom of the league. Following on from our success in the 2009/2010 season we went from just looking to avoid relegation in the Premier Division 2010/2011 to astound ourselves by finishing a creditable 7th in the league, only suspensions and injuries we feel robbed us of a top three spot. In March 2012 we achieved The FA Grade E, enabling the club to enter The Evo-Stik League when finishing in a promotion position. The 2012/2013 season saw us finish 9th in the Premier Division and reaching a round further in The FA Vase. Our Reserves finishing 4th in their respective league, with players being selected for the first team squad showing we have strength and depth in the club. The 2013/14 season was a little bit traumatic for the club, players leaving or not being available, unrest in the dressing room which led to poor performances on the field. In June of 2014 we achieved Charter Standard Development Club at both Senior and Junior level, which was an excellent achievement by both Senior & Junior Committees. The season had ended on a knife edge, if results on the last day of the season had gone a different way we would have been relegated For the 2017/2018 Barnoldswick Town have one team in the Hallmark Security League and one team in The Lancashire Football League Western Division (Galaxy League). The Junior section has 21 teams in The East Lancashire League from U7’s -U18’s, plus one U12’s girls team playing in The West Riding League. They also have a Tiny Town Junior Academy for 4 – 6 year olds. Tickets This game is ticket only and tickets for the game can still be purchased HERE.

Women’s FA Cup tie to take place at Gigg Lane
After last weekend’s FA Cup tie was called off against Radcliffe Women at Unsworth Cricket Club, we can confirm the rearranged tie will take place at Gigg Lane this Sunday (8th October). 2pm kick-off. Entry will be £3 for adults and £1 for concessions, fans will be seated in the Main Stand. Turnstiles will be open from 1pm and it will be pay on the day only, no pre-sale tickets will be available. Manager Jason Jarrett told us, “We are really looking forward to welcoming Radcliffe in this FA Cup game and even more so now that it will be played at Gigg Lane. This is a massive opportunity for both teams to play in the oldest cup competition in the World and to showcase their abilities to a wider audience on a bigger stage. “After a positive pre-season, we’ve had a challenging start to the league campaign. As a coaching team, we have been trying to challenge the girls with new ideas and formations to improve us collectively and individually but this takes time and it resulted in us having a tough start to the season but we also know that we deserved to take much more from most of the games and have only narrowly missed out on points against teams like Tranmere Rovers, Blackburn Community and West Didsbury. Playing on a bigger pitch will hopefully suit our style of play and I’m sure the professional surroundings of Gigg Lane will inspire our girls to play to the best of their abilities. “In our last performance, a confident and dominant 4-1 league win over Blackpool, we started to show what we are capable of and we will be looking to build on that result this weekend, plus with a couple of new additions over the next few weeks we believe we are heading in the right direction.” Casey Lynchey, head of women’s football at Bury FC added, “We would like to thank everyone involved in getting this game played at Gigg Lane this weekend. Both teams were disappointed not to play last week and will be looking forward to the prospect of facing National League opposition, in the next round, whilst also showing what a vast array of talented female footballers we have in the borough. I’m sure this will be a really entertaining match that will be played in the right spirit and we would urge people to come down and show their support for both teams.” We’d like to see as many fans at Gigg Lane as possible on Sunday afternoon for what is a big FA Cup tie!

Match Info: Litherland REMYCA (H), Tue 3rd Oct, 7:45pm KO
On a rainy afternoon in the Derbyshire hills, Dave McNabb’s charges fell to a late defeat courtesy of a headed 96th minute Glossop goal. Until the goal The Shakers had held on well after being reduced to ten men following a red card for Bury wing back Gaz Peet early into the second half. In a game that could’ve gone either way in the with both teams having plenty of chances there were some bright spots in defeat including a debut goal for new man Andy Scarisbrick and a solid debut for Charlie Doyle. We now move on to Tuesday night and as we look to set the record straight and return to winning ways against Merseyside’s Litherland Remyca. You can watch Dave McNabb’s post match interview following the Glossop game below. In Opposition – Litherland Remyca Litherland REMYCA FC began life in the Seaforth area of Liverpool as St Thomas F.C. (1959). Players were recruited mainly from Seaforth and Bootle, and the team later became known as Bootle C.L.B. (Church Lads Brigade). Links were formed with Bootle YMCA which provided a club base and facilities to train. In 1967, a local working-man’s club offered to finance the running of the club. One year later, REMYCA UTD F.C. came into being, the name deriving from connections with both REM Social Club and Bootle YMCA. The team, after successive championships and earning a reputation for playing attractive football, were accepted into the I Zingari League. The founder members of REMYCA Utd, Bill and Ken Edwards, acted as managers having recently given up their playing careers. The I Zingari Challenge Cup was claimed in the 1975/76 season as REMYCA Utd began to establish itself as a force within amateur football on Merseyside. The formation of a Premier League led to the club being invited to become inaugural members. This demanded improved playing facilities and the club left its spiritual home at Moss Lane, Litherland to move to Maghull High School. A former player, Steve Smith, became manager and began building a squad capable of competing with the best amateur sides in the region. REMYCA Utd became the I Zingari League Champions in the 1987/88 season and in 1991 became one of the few Merseyside Teams to win the all Lancashire FA Amateur Cup. The 1990’s was a significant period in the club’s history, and the most successful, as both Premier League and Cup doubles were achieved in seasons 1993/94, 1994/95 and 1995/96 followed by again winning the Challenge Cup in the 1998/99 season. This period of dominance and success resulted in REMYCA Utd seeking entry to the Liverpool County Combination League to test itself at a higher level again. REMYCA are now based at Litherland Sports Park. Our mid-long term aims are to work with local councils to identify a site and build a community facility for all sides under the REMYCA banner as well as the local area. In 2013, the Management Committee of REMYCA began exploring the potential to grow and develop the club. The aim is for a sustainable club – a community based model offering football opportunity with good coaching to all ages from seven years upwards. The first stage of the new development plan was to add Litherland to the club name so as to identify with the local area and enhance the community ethos of the club. A key appointment was Colin Begbie as head of youth development, who’s experience and network of football contacts has proven invaluable. The club then applied, and secured a league position worthy of promotion to the NWCFL in 2014. In their first season, the club finished 9th and reached the semi final of the Reusch Cup, only to be beaten by Atherton Colls. A first ever appearance in the LCFA Senior Cup saw the club beaten by Skelmersdale United. REMYCA went on to reach the semi final in three consecutive years after this defeat. In 2015, Phil Stafford was given the job as first team manager following a successful stint at Maghull. In his second season, he led the club to a thrilling battle for promotion, which culminated in defeat at the final hurdle – the playoff final. That game holds the attendance record in NWCFL history, with 1303 supporters flocking to LSP. In March 2016, the quarter final of the LCFA Senior Cup saw Everton travel to LSP and fall to a solid, containing REMYCA by a goal to nil. This game put the club on the map, and boosted their profile and reputation. Ultimately, at the end of that season, Stafford decided it was time to move on along with Andy Olsen, and, after a search for a new gaffer, Paul McNally was handed the task of leading REMYCA from the beginning of the 2017/18 season. McNally put his own stamp on the team, and under huge expectations, guided the club to its first ever promotion and the highest level of football in the history of Litherland REMYCA. Along the way, REMYCA made their first ever appearance in the FA Cup, beating AFC Liverpool 2-0 in a game live streamed across the BBC iPlayer. In a shock turn of events, McNally left the club by mutual consent at the end of 2017-18, and left the club manager-less for the second straight summer. James Olsen was chosen to be the man to take over in the summer of 2018 and lead the club in its first ever season in the NWCFL Premier Division, however departed midway through the season. Former manager Phil Stafford returned to guide the club to consolidation within the division. With Staffo’ having departed for a second time, former AFC Liverpool, Burscough and Bangor City Manager Derek Goulding was appointed in 2021 as the man to consolidate The Remy in the Premier Division for going forwards.

PLEDGING OUR SUPPORT FOR THE PLAY SAFE WEEKEND 2023
This weekend, English football at every level will unite to promote Play Safe – a national campaign to focus attention of the vital importance of safeguarding in our national game. Led by The Football Association, the Play Safe campaign is endorsed by the NSPCC and supported by every level of the game, including the Premier League, EFL, Barclays Women’s Super League and Barclays Women’s Championship, and right across the grassroots game. We are proud to be supporting Play Safe on our website and social media channels – and also by making an online Play Safe Pledge. Our pledge will see us promote PLAY SAFE on our website and social media channels. Of course, safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, so if you haven’t already, why not make your own Play Safe Pledge? We encourage you to do so. “Everybody should feel safe playing the sport we love.” This year’s Play Safe weekend has two main messages: • ‘Everyone, everywhere, every time’ should have an understanding of safeguarding in football. • Everyone should ‘watch, listen, talk and act’ if they have any safeguarding concerns. If you have a safeguarding concern, or would like some advice, the person to contact at Bury Football club is welfare officer Tania Jackson. Email: safeguarding@buryfc.co.uk.

Match Info: Glossop North End (A), Sat 30th Sept, 3pm KO
The Dave McNabb era began at Gigg Lane this week as the former Warrington and Bootle manager became The Shakers 44th permanent manager. In Dave’s first game in charge on Tuesday night we took on FC Isle of Man and extended our run of wins to three games. The team put on a resolute performance with the backline keeping second clean sheet in three games and Gaz Peet finding the back of the net for the first time this season. The fans were in fine voice and 2909 of the Shakers faithful gave our new Management team a fantastic welcome, still singing 20 minutes after the final whistle whilst the lads signed autographs and took players with the fans in The South Stand. You can watch the highlights from the game and Dave McNabb’s first post match interview below. Attention now turns to our first of two trips in a fortnight (following the Frank Hannah Premier cup draw) to The Asgard Engineering Stadium to take on Glossop North End. Full information is available below. 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.

Match Info: FC Isle Of Man (H), Tue 26th Sept, 8pm KO
A new era begins in BL9 this week, after the Shakers unveiled their new manager on Monday evening. Dave McNabb joined up with the squad for the first time last night ahead of Tuesday night’s clash with the visiting islanders from the Isle of Man. And he is itching to get going. Find out a bit more about our new manager here and listen to the manager’s first interview on our YouTube channel from early on Tuesday morning, by subscribing here. Interim managers, Leon Mike and Stephen Sheil return to take the under-23s and they go with our thanks for stepping in during turbulent times. They left with a bang, following up the win on the Fylde coast last Tuesday with a thumping 4-1 against Colne at Gigg Lane on Saturday. Results which keep us right in the hunt at the top-of-the-table. Catch highlights of Shakeel Jones-Griffiths grabbing his first goal at Gigg, alongside Harry Brazel and Andy Briggs with a second-half brace in the link below. Striker Benito Lowe sat out the final game of his delayed three-match suspension on Saturday, and will be back in contention for Tuesday’s nights visit of FC Isle of Man. Heading to Gigg Lane for the game? Get all your match information below and make some noise in South Stand, Block A to bring the boys home! In Opposition – FC Isle Of Man FC Isle of Man was founded in 2020 and is a community-based football club which represents the island as a whole. The Ravens, like ourselves, were officially accepted into the English non-league pyramid for the 2020/21 season. However, due to Covid restrictions and border controls into the island, the club were temporarily suspended from the league as it was not possible to fulfil all their fixtures by 31st May 2021, as required by the English FA. With the entire season eventually scrapped due to further Covid outbreaks in early 2021, the 2021/22 season became their first in the non-league system. Despite going top of the division temporarily in February after a dramatic 4-3 victory over eventual league champions West Didsbury, the Ravens ultimately finished second in the league but were promoted at the first attempt after defeating New Mills in the play-off final in front of more than 3,000 spectators at the Bowl. Last season, they finished a respectable 13th with some good late season form which moved them comfortably away from the relegation zone which had begun to look on the cards during mid-season. So far this season, after a fast start with five wins in the opening seven games, results have tailed off and the Ravens are without a win in six. Last time out, they took part in a seesaw battle with AFC Liverpool and a share of the spoils in an eight-goal thriller. For more information on the visitors, you can head to the NWCFL website HERE.

The Gaffer: Dave McNabb
Following the announcement of Dave McNabb as Bury Football Club’s 44th permanent manager, we look at the record behind the appointment and Dave’s footballing journey to this point. Dave was a coach within the younger age groups at Manchester United in his early career before a youth managerial post at St Helen’s Town and reserve team manager position at Rainhill Town lead to taking his first managerial appointment at Billinge in the Cheshire League in 2018, winning the Warrington Guardian Cup during his short time at the club. McNabb (centre) pictured with coach Frazer Ablett & joint player-manager Stuart Wellstead following early success at Rylands. This early success took McNabb to Warrington the following season, as joint-manager of newly-promoted Rylands (now Warrington Rylands 1906) who took their place in the North West Counties (NWCFL) for the first time. The NWCFL First Division South title was secured at the first attempt in 2018-19, amassing 111 league goals in the process, alongside the Champion Cup Winners secured when they overcame First Division North winners, Longridge Town. With the 2019-20 season abandoned and results expunged as the Covid pandemic took hold across the world, Rylands were sat handily in second place with fewer than 10 games of the season to go. Beginning the equally disrupted 2020-21 season well, again sat in second when the league was curtailed, Rylands were selected for promotion, with the Football Association league allocations deeming their performances across the previous two seasons worthy of elevation to a higher division. They took their place in the Northern Premier League for the first time in the 2021-22 season. Sealing the NPL West 2021-22 title at Warrington Rylands, McNabb holds aloft the silverware to cap off a stunning four years at Gorsey Lane. Assistant manager Tim Lees pictured on the far right. One competition that did continue to a conclusion during that period was the FA Vase, with Rylands coming out on top following a 3-2 final win against Binfield at Wembley in May 2021. Highlights of that game are available here. McNabb had taken sole charge by this point, joined by his assistant Tim Lees and they proceeded to take Step 4 by storm at the first attempt, securing the title by one point, courtesy of a run of victories as the season came to a close and title rivals Workington only managing a draw against Market Drayton on the final day of the season. They finished with a significant goal-difference, scoring 95 league goals in the process. He left Warrington Rylands in September 2022 after four and a half years at the club, with a record of three promotions, four trophies and an almost 70% win rate. McNabb was unveiled as Macclesfield manager in 2022 In October of last year, he joined Macclesfield as manager replacing Danny Whittaker, a role he left later in the year. He came back to football in March 2023, taking over as Bootle manager after veteran EFL defender Steve McNulty left the club. He steered the club to safety at the end of last season, after their early-season form threatened relegation. His last game in charge of the Liverpool-based side was Saturday’s 2-0 FA Trophy win away at Stockton Town, with the Merseyside club sitting in ninth in the Northern Premier League West. McNabb will be in dugout tomorrow evening for his first game as manager. If you want to be #PartofIt, get your tickets HERE. #ShakersTogether | #BuryFC | #PartofIt View the full article

Dave McNabb Appointed Men’s First Team Manager
Bury Football Club is delighted to confirm the appointment of Dave McNabb as men’s first team manager. He is joined at Gigg Lane by his assisant Tim Lees and they arrive after a six-month stint at Northern Premier League (NPL) side, Bootle. An extensive list of candidates was generated following the request for applications last week, with Dave and his team being chosen from a strong shortlist interviewed for the position. As a ‘born winner’, with an objective to play progressive and attractive football, he was the obvious choice to take the club forward into the next stage as we look to move up through the National League System. Football board chair, Marcel De Matas, told buryfc.co.uk how delighted he was to get a new manager in place quickly to build on the momentum of the recent two victories: “Getting the right appointment was key and we feel we have done that by bringing Dave and his team into the club. His pedigree speaks volumes, with a high win percentage, the creation of high-scoring teams and multiple promotions and trophies gained in what is a very competitive environment. “We are sure this move is one that will excite supporters and enables the club to be in a position to keep up the winning habit for the rest of this season and beyond.” We also caught up with McNabb following the announcement, who was keen to stress how excited he was to be moving to Gigg Lane: “The club, the stadium, the fanbase, all reasons we were so keen to be involved and we are delighted to have been selected to lead the team into the next chapter. We will be playing on the front foot, scoring goals to delight the large crowds we get, and bringing in that winning mentality that you need at this level to succeed. “We are excited to get going now. We get an immediate chance to feel that Gigg Lane atmosphere tomorrow evening so we look forward to seeing you all there.” We will have more from Dave in his first interview as manager on Tuesday morning, available on our YouTube channel. Click to subscribe so you never miss a thing, HERE. The new management team will be in charge for the first time this Tuesday, when we take on FC Isle of Man at Gigg Lane. Get your tickets to give Dave and his staff your biggest Gigg Lane welcome HERE. Welcome to Bury, David, and Up the Shakers! #ShakersTogether | #BuryFC | #PartofIt View the full article
