BURY FC has revealed its new kit and proud sponsor Bury Council is cheering them on for a successful season.

Leader of the council, Councillor John Byrne, met team captain Dave Challinor at the Gigg Lane ground as the £50,000-a-year deal entered its third season.

Coun Byrne said: "We are delighted to be sponsoring the club into a third league campaign. We were proud when Bury Council was declared the most improved in the country a few months ago and hopefully, come May, Bury FC will be in the promotion zone in the new division two."

Both the home and away kits have the black, yellow and grey Bury Metro council logo.

Cllr Byrne added: "The council supports leisure and the arts as much as it can and although our sponsorship of Bury FC is a relatively small part of that, it is priceless in terms of spin-offs for the community."
