The Shakers match day programme - 'The Gigg Issue' - has gone through a revamp over the summer and is back raring to go for the new season with new features as well as the regular contributors.

Wayne Brown features on the cover with our new look 'wall art' whilst inside, the gaffer welcomes everyone to Gigg Lane as well as looking back to the games at Rochdale & Chester. Captain Paul Scott also gives us his thoughts in the Captains column.

Martin Ogden's match action images are an essential part of this website, and we've also got action photos from the Morecambe, Rochdale & Chester games as well as other images throughout the programme. New club sponsors Subway also have an introductory offer to Shakers supporters inside the programme.

All you need to know about Lincoln City has been increased to four pages plus we take a statistical look back at previous encounters with the Red Imps. We've set aside a page for the reserves and the youth team and these will carry updates from the two sides throughout the season.

David Buchanan features on page 24 answering some very strange questions. Regular contributors Ian McPherson and Tony Cunningham are back with their own views and history of the club whilst programme collectors will be keen to read the article from 'the programme monthly'.

Football historian Leigh Edwards continues with the history of post war Shakers with such players as Johnny Walton, Darran Wassall and Dean West. Youth team manager Mike Sheron updates' everyone on the progress with the youngsters.

The lads from the football in the community scheme brief everyone on their latest news whilst former Shaker Andy Woodward is interviewed by James Bentley for the 'History Boys' feature.  Andy is also the clubs guest for the day in Legends Sports Bar. Brian Barry-Murphy tells us how it is 'in his own words' plus we have full details of up and coming games - both home and away.
