I have been following your Pitchero updates with interest and acknowledge that junior rugby interest has been very positive with you now entering them into a league this year.

Junior rugby league is ultimately the way forward as a club, but as I intend to watch your games this year I am interested to know what your open age developments have been. I have read that a new coach/coaches have been appointed for the season and that player interest has increased, would these be players from Bury who have/are currently playing at other clubs or are these more novices to the game?- I know its hard to strike a balance but I am hoping that as in previous seasons it’s a bit of both as the league looks competitive and I hope to see you raise the profile of rugby league in Bury by being more competitive on the field. I know it’s not a priority and will be a while off but will your Pitchero site for players/coaches etc. be updated and cleansed like the rest of the site has been before the season with up to date pictures of the squad and players. The reason I ask is that as a spectator I like to be able to recognise a player etc. plus its an easier way of noticing new players

Shouldn't be a problem, there's a couple of lads live up that way, can probably sort lifts.

Good stuff, hopefully see you at training

Just a quick message to wish you luck this weekend and throughout the forthcoming season. I hope to be down this weekend but possibly may not be but having read reports etc about your new structures I think the future is positive for Bury RL in becoming a competitive team.

I am looking forward to seeing your new style of play and how the new recruits influence your squad. I am making the assumption that these new players will be the better rugby union players giving rugby league a go in the union off season and that they have no prior experience of playing rugby league.

Good luck.

Some of the new players are mainly from clubs who are only doing winter seasons there are also a few returnees from a few years ago

a few of them are injured or have work commitments this weekend, so there should be plenty of players from last season playing. really looking forward to the game and the season itself.

Was a good game and a great effort from all the lads, excellent fightback to earn the draw.
