The old regulars are back with their unique views on football and the Shakers with Ian McPherson taking us back through the years; Leigh Edwards introduces various players that have played for both Bury and Northampton Town Town whilst Tony Cunningham gives his own superb view on the world of football.
Alan Knill welcomes everyone back to Gigg Lane for the game. 'Setting the scene' is the start of our introduction to Northampton Town with details of the history between the two clubs plus a quick look at our last meeting. We also start the build up with a detailed look at the referee, in this case - Mr. Peter Quinn. We've dedicated four pages to Northampton as we take a look at their players and management and finish off the section with a past game between Bury & the Cobblers - Sat, 27 November 1971 to be exact about it and a good 4-2 Bury win.
Commercial Corner is back with Peter Young giving his latest news. Martin Ogden has been joined this season with an understudy - Zoe Hitchen has joined the media team for matchdays. Two photographers means more photo's, so each programme will have FOUR pages of match action images.
It's the club's 125th anniversary, we all know it - but do you know the full story of the clubs birth. We've got another new feature with a double page spread running throughout the season that tells the story of the clubs birth to entry into the football league. It's a riveting read and worth getting the programme just for this. We also continue with our roll of honour and give you all the stats of all the players that have represented the club from the first league game to the last game of last season, simply called 'the Shakers', it's the most up to date list of players printed to date to have represented the club over 125 years of football.
It's a packed programme to celebrate the clubs 125th anniversary, and when we do get around celebrating the anniversary, we will be producing a bumper edition of the programme with double the pages and double the articles.
The new programme is now a whopping 72 pages, but the best news of all - we've kept the price down to just £2.50. Get your copy of 'The Shakers' - in and around the ground on Saturday.
