A charge against Bury FC has been dropped after three fans tried to get onto the Gigg Lane pitch during the club's record-breaking victory.

But the club has fired a warning to supporters about the impact of "fan disorder" following the incident on January 27.

The Shakers "pleaded not guilty" after being accused of failing to ensure spectators "conducted themselves in an orderly fashion" in relation to the disorder, which happened towards the end of the club's 10-1 win over Skelmersdale United.

A spokesperson for the club said the charge have been dropped following a hearing with the Manchester FA on Tuesday.

The announcement comes following the club being ordered to play its next two home games behind closed doors following claims fans used “discriminatory language” at a home game against Didsbury and Chorlton FC on September 2.

An appeal was dismissed by the Manchester FA on Monday, March 4.

The ban will mean no fans will attend upcoming matches against Barnoldswick Town and Charnock Richard, which both take place next week.

Regarding the incident in January, in a statement published on the club’s website, a club spokesperson said: “On Tuesday evening (March 5) the club attended a second FA hearing within 48 hours, to answer charges relating to rule E.21 during our fixture against Skelmersdale United at Gigg Lane on Saturday, January 27.

“The club responded promptly to this charge when informed, which resulted in the de-escalation of the process. We pleaded not guilty to the charge.

“These charges were found to be unproven by the FA and as a result the charges were discharged against the club.

"We are pleased with this result and thank the team who responded to the charge for their work in this case.”

In relation to the incident in January, the club said supporters were stopped from getting on the pitch by stewards but added that two of the people "did not co-operate" and "took some time to be restrained and removed".

The club says it is working to eradicate issues around unruly behaviour from fans, particularly as the club remains subject to a 12-month suspended stadium ban until September.

Steps have been taken to eradicate problems by "removing and banning individuals from the ground, as well as initially removing alcohol sales on match day and making alterations to seating arrangements".

Alcohol sales inside kiosks have since been re-introduced.

The spokesperson added: “We urge supporters to take on board the impacts and consequences of fan disorder inside the ground to work with the club and their fellow supporters to build upon what is mostly a vibrant, welcoming and ultimately enjoyable experience in following the Shakers.

"There are many other significant developments being worked upon across the club ranging from short to long term in timescale. 

"[These] show the progressive nature that the club is looking to take, with supporters and the wider community at the heart of these developments."
