The Robins have the chance to shine on the big screen as the BBC have picked this first qualifying round tie to be aired live on iPlayer and via the Red Button.
Both sides come into the fixture on the back of 2-0 wins in the previous round, The Robins’ seeing off Seaham Red Star and the The Shakers seeing off Widnes FC respectively.
Bury A.F.C were reformed in 2019 as a phoenix of Bury FC. They play in the NWCL Premier Division after winning the North Division Championship last season.
They play their home games at the Neuven Stadium to whom they ground share with Radcliffe FC, members of the Pitching In Northern Premier League Premier Division.
They are managed by former Sunderland midfielder Andy Welsh, who was a part of the promotion winning side in 2005.
Both sides will be looking to put on a showcase and ensure that their names are in the hat for the Second Qualifying Round on Monday lunchtime.
How to find Bury A.F.C
Leave the M60 at junction 17 following signs for Whitefield and Bury. Take the A665 to Radcliffe via by-pass to Bolton Road. Look for a signpost indicating a right turn into Unsworth Street. The Neuven Stadium is on the left approximately half a mile turning into Colshaw Close East.
For those using Sat Navs Enter M26 3PE. There is a small Car Park outside the ground, but if the car park is full there is ample on-street parking available. We would appeal to fans, players, officials and Board Members to park considerately.
