Bury AFC to groundshare with Radcliffe

Bury AFC will play their home games at Radcliffe in their inaugural season.

The new club, who will play their inaugural season in the North West Counties Football League First Division North, will play their home fixtures at Northern Premier Division neighbours Radcliffe’s Neuven Stadium.

Bury AFC have said: “We thoroughly understand that everyone would like us to play our home fixtures at Gigg Lane; currently that will not be possible. It is, however, something we are actively working on being able to achieve over time.

“We are working on ways to make Radcliffe ‘home’ to Bury fans during this time, including transport to and from the Neuven Stadium from Bury to allow pre and post-match drinks at the pubs familiar to Bury fans. Clearly, COVID-19 is a major issue for us to contend with, so we ask for your patience whilst we work on some of the details.”
