Website Coverage:  It's back to normal for the Shakers website with full match commentary from the game.  Your commentators for the game are Gordon Sorfleet and Maurice Dickson, commentary will start from around 2:55pm.  A full match report will be live from moments after the final whistle with Alan Knill giving his thoughts on the game later on Saturday evening.  We also hope to be speaking to one or two of the players following the game, and you never know, maybe even the legend that is Chris Lucketti.  Martin Ogden's match action images from the game will also be live at some point towards midnight.  Extended video highlights of the game will also be live at some point over the weekend.  Highlights will contain our Shakers World commentary.

Team news:  Our best advice for team news is to take the two sides that played at Radcliffe Borough on Tuesday evening, add Wayne Brown and Andy Bishop and mix it up, then select eleven players for each side and you may get nearer than we do.

These pre-season games are always awash with players, the regulars, the fringe players, the up and coming youngsters and a good collection of trialists.  Saturday's game is no different - apart from one exception.  Whoever starts the first half will play longer than 45 minutes?  Alan Knill has stated that he wants to see certain player's play slightly longer than one half.

Andy Bishop will feature.  The gaffer saw no point in him playing against Radcliffe, keep him injury free was the verdict the following day, so the cotton wool comes off for Huddersfield Town.  Wayne Brown will also play his first game in a Shakers shirt since his move from Hereford United over the summer.

There are one or two slight injuries creeping into the work load of Alan Bent now.  Ryan Cresswell has shin splints, Paul Scott has stood on Steve Haslams toe and its giving him some right old jip!!!, plus there are one or two little bumps and bruises amongst the lads here and there.  Of the trialists, it's pretty much the same as Tuesday evening.

All the strikers at the club have scored in the two games played so far, Bishop with one at Stockport, Marsh and Wales (Both trialists) at Radcliffe with Glynn Hurst also bagging a brace on Tuesday evening.  Already there is a little competition developing amongst the lads and that can only be good for the competitive edge that the gaffer wants in the side.

Paul Scott will play against Huddersfield Town for the first time since leaving them some four years ago, whilst another former Terrier - Efe Sodje - will also be up against his former club.  Both Scotty and Sodj played for Huddersfield at Gigg Lane in September 2003, Bury won the game 2-1 with Danny Swailes and Lee Connell scoring for Bury.  Huddersfield's goal came from the current Shakers skipper with Paul Scott scoring, though Efe Sodje will remember the game for his red card on 75 minutes.

Perhaps one of the most entertaining games for a neutral though came in September 1991, the game was played at Gigg Lane and Liam Robinson, Colin Greenhall, Ian Stevens and Nigel Smith putting the Shakers 4-0 up inside 31 minutes.  The game will go down as one of the best come backs ever as two goals from Ewan Roberts and two from Phil Starbuck brought the game back to 4-4.

There are also the years where the Terriers won 6-0 at Gigg Lane in April 89, only for them to come back to Bury the season after and get thumped 6-0 by the Shakers.  Historically, there have been some fantastic games between the two clubs.

It's only pre-season though, it's all about fitness and to some point performance.  Though the current gaffer still wants to win the game.Stronger opposition they may be, but that winning mentality is one of the gaffer's pre-season targets.

There's also the visit from former gaffer Stan Ternent, Rocket Ronnie and of course Captain Fantastic Chris Lucketti.  The usual Gigg Lane welcome for those three doesn't need to be asked for, these three people demand it by their presence alone.

Kickoff is at 3:00pm

Kit:  Bury will be playing in last season's home kit, due to the fact that the club are short of numbers at the moment - literally, the numbers for the backs of the shirts haven't arrived yet.
