The Fan Favourite

That’s what this club is about. The team stepped up today - quality all over the pitch when it mattered. But Avro keep matching us, no let up at all. Relentless. Final day now… one last push! UTS.

Not everything in football is guaranteed. Not wins, not promotions… not even existence. We’ve already lived the worst of it with Bury FC. So whatever happens from here - today, next week, or not at all - just being back, together, matters. #buryfc

@amjonno Appreciate the reply, means a lot. We all care and want the best for the team. With Avro right behind us, the worry comes from how tight some of these games have been - could easily have gone the other way. We’re all behind the lads to get it done 🙏🏻

And so you should, your opinion, own it 👍 Do me a favour, watch Richard Duffy, the Congleton managers interview, it’s refreshingly honest. Teams set up not to lose, not to try to win and dominate like we do. Some games we have to be patient. If we’re not patient we’ll get hurt on the counter attack. These are honest, hard working lads who put everything into every game trying to win and entertain the fans, it doesn’t always pan out that way because we have a stubborn opponent who always bring their very best version, especially at Gigg… I’ve only been here for 11 games and I’ve only been able to put the same team/squad out twice due to injuries, so there’s change to the team most weeks, that’s not always helpful to a conducive style of play, it takes time for those relationships to form - but I’ve still been more than happy with performances. I appreciate you taking your time to tell me how you feel.

It’s not been great to watch lately? Two weeks ago we beat Runcorn who were third away from home 3-0. We won at home in a very exciting way 4-1 on Good Friday. I’ve loved watching it. I’ve loved watching a group of young lads grind their way to results against teams that set up not to lose. Lads have shown up all season long 👍

@amjonno Fans are doing their bit every week. It’s not been great at all to watch lately, but none of that matters now - two games left, win them both and we’ll have a party. Up to the lads to show up. 💪🏻

The support has been absolutely unbelievable, to the point where even I’ve been surprised… We’ve got 180 minutes of football left and 1 last home game. Get down and support the team, they deserve it, they’ve been incredible for the last 9 months. Get behind them as you always do. See you next Saturday ⚪️🔵

@Baz704 @MarkHowsham Too much sentimentality around those who ran our social media pages and the early days. Those in charge need to sort it as we are missing a big opportunity.

@Baz704 @MarkHowsham I’m sorry but I have multiple other accounts totalling 30k + followers. Social media and football is the main place to engage. We post links to our YouTube highlights… other non league accounts post our highlights and get more views on it than we do.

Our social media is a huge missed opportunity. There’s no consistency, no hype, no reason for fans to feel engaged day-to-day. In 2026 that’s unacceptable. Not hard to schedule a post. We should be driving attendances and excitement - right now there’s nothing. #buryfc

@shakerfacts Don’t forget blocking off our player and then having a go at him!

@TheFavouriteFan Three touches and two step overs by the referee today.

Flat for 70. Subs changed the game. Referee everywhere but where he should be. Then Bury showed what we’re about. On we go. 🔵⚪️

@CongletonFC Probably should have been a few goals up in that first half. Really made us work for that initial breakthrough. Your goal was top class. 👏🏻

FULL TIME | ⏱️ Bury 4 BEARS 1 Just wasn’t to be for the Bears this afternoon as the Bears took an early lead and held on until the 70th minute. Grit. Desire and togetherness. All the best to Bury for the remaining of the promotion chase. Next up (H) Shifnal Town BH Mon

Previous results do not matter. There are no excuses at this time of the season. Not acceptable. That performance is a real worry. Lucky Avro lost.

Excited to see Jonno in the Gigg Lane dugout. Great appointment.

We’ve thrown another game away. Again. Sorry, but sentiment doesn’t win promotions. A club of our size and budget needs a manager who knows how to get out of these divisions. The mid-season decisions have totally derailed our progression. Shambolic.

It’s a shame to see DJ Pedro moving on. One of our most consistent performers in recent seasons and someone who’s looked a level above at times. His quality is clearly suited to a higher level, and it’s no surprise to see him leaving.

Watching Aaron Chalmers drop a disasterclass against us after all that noise is genuinely poetic. Burned every bit of goodwill on the way out. Threw away the respect, lost the plot, and now Father Time has caught up with him. Football has a funny way of humbling people.

@ben_brumby It’s clear the club does not have the social media knowledge required to capture engagement. Not sure if he’s due to commitment reasons. Hopefully they’ll start to crack it soon. It’s took them long enough to purchase verification to increase visibility!

Still allergic to posting any match footage on the feed for some reason, easy engagement

@mjokeefe95 Absolute disgrace all of them. It’s going to get extremely toxic.

@TheFavouriteFan It was as if they were also not backing down on their actions, but doubling down. Blaming the media and fans for a pile on, a person asked for an apology last night and they couldn’t even muster that. Things seriously can’t continue in the same attitude they have for fans.

A fan-owned club where the board refuse to take questions about their diabolical mistakes. That tells you everything. No accountability. No transparency. No respect for supporters. This board are a disgrace. If you can’t answer to fans, get out now! #buryfc

Happy with this. Just hope Tim can put his own stamp on this team and move away from the McNabb influence or all this change is pointless. First order is sign some shithouses please…
