This Sunday 17th July 2022 will see the class of ‘97 returning to Gigg Lane to play Burnley FC’s Vintage Clarets. There are so many legends from the 90s and beyond involved, all managed by none other than Stan Ternent!
It’s a 2pm kickoff but due to the hot weather expected, the game will have drinks internals every 30 minutes to ensure the players have enough fluid on board, and for numerous substitutes will take place.
Bury FC Supporters Society would like to thank sponsors Checkpoint, Lenny Johnrose Trust, Brandlesholme Dentistry, MID Joinery, Phenomenal Group, The Albion Clayton-Le-Moors and MOTIQ who have all supported us for this event.
We are pleased to announce that local firm McR Gas will be our social media partners for the day.
Gates open from 12 midday along with the beer kiosks! The bars and burger van are cash only but with the container bar accepting card payments.
There will unfortunately be no car parking available but we do have 7 first-come-first-served accessibility spaces. We ask supporters to be considerate when parking around the local area.
Ticket prices are:
£8 adults
£5 u16s
£20 (2 adults + 2 u16s)
Our special MEET AND GREET opportunity will take place after the match in Starkies. This will be a exclusive event for those wearing wristbands. There are still 30 tickets remaining at £25 each – with both Bury and Burnley players looking forward to meeting the fans! They are available to book as an upgrade online if you’ve already bought tickets to the match itself.
All shirts worn by the legends will be auctioned off via an online auction after the match with details to follow
