Additional Info:
Visiting fans have been allocated the South Stand for this match only rather than the usually-used Manchester Road Stand. The stand is accessed around the right hand side as you approach the ground and is the same stand we used on our visit last season.
There is a car park at the ground but it has a limited capacity. You can park on the streets around the ground, however some streets operate a residents only permit scheme, so look out for the signs. There is also a small car park on Redvales Road by the playing fields.
Leave the M66 at Junction 3. Take the left hand exit at the junction and follow this road until you come to the junction with the A56 Manchester Road. At this T-junction which has traffic lights, turn right towards Bury. You will pass the Swan & Cemetery pub on your left and then some playing fields. At the end of the playing fields just before the traffic lights and a couple of pubs, turn right into Gigg Lane for the ground.
The nearest mainline station to the stadium is Manchester Piccadilly from where you will need to take the tram system Metrolink towards Bury. Get off at the final stop, and the ground is a five minute walk from there. Alternatively, you can catch the 93, 135 or 137 bus which stops on the main road right outside Gigg Lane.
There are a few pubs closeby to the ground. The Swan & Cemetery on Manchester Road (A56) is probably the most popular among fans going to the game and is a five minute walk away. T he Pack Horse is also found on Manchester Road by the traffic lights, just a stones throw away from Gigg Lane.
Bury town centre has all the usual food outlets for fast food junkies. Redvales Road, by the playing fields, has a good chippy and a convenience shop, whilst the usual matchday grub can be bought inside the ground.

I think they can win this despite Bury's really good form and then watch out Plymouth, Wright Phillips or not.
