Football will finally return to Gigg Lane for the first time in nearly three years. The famous ground has lay empty since Bury FC, founded in 1885, were thrown out of the Football League in August 2019.
But the club's Women's team, who are flying high this season and chasing promotion, will grace the pitch with their final three home games. By a twist of fate the last game to be played on Shaker's hallowed turf also featured the Women's team.
The ground has been spruced up by an army of volunteers and the surface will be in pristine condition for the Bury FC Foundation Women's Team match against Fleetwood Town Wrens on April 24th. The historic match will be the first on the turf since the women's team played Workington Town Ladies on May 5th 2019.
