Bury Football Club was formed in 1885 when they took a lease on a football pitch at Gigg Lane, which remains their home ground today. In 1889 they were founder members of the Lancashire League, before joining the Football League Second Division in 1894. They are nicknamed ‘The Shakers’ due to the club’s first chairman, a certain JT Ingham, who before a Lancashire Cup game with Blackburn, said “We will shake them. In fact, we are the Shakers.”
Turnover and pre-tax profit figures are in millions.
