Bury FC’s Winning Strategy: Seamless Bookings with Pitchbooking
Bury Football Club is an English association football club based in Lancashire since its inception in 1885. Two-time FA Cup winners at the turn of the 20th Century, they plied their trade within the English Football League from 1894 until 2019, when financial mismanagement resulted in expulsion from the EFL. With the club and ground now pieced back together, they are again one and compete in the North West Counties Football League, Step 9 of the football pyramid. Nicknamed the ‘Shakers’, their home Gigg Lane is a 12,000 seater stadium.
