Who are they?
Bury Town Football Club is an Englishsemi-professional football club, based in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. The club are currently members of the Isthmian League Division One North and play at Ram Meadow. The club was established by William Lake at a meeting in the Suffolk Hotel in 1872. Initially named Bury St Edmunds FC, the first committee of the club elected to choose royal blue as the club's colours. In 1885 they were one of eleven founder members of the Suffolk FA in 1885. The club took up residence at Kings Road, also known as the Cemetery Road ground, in 1888.

Get up to much last season?
Bury Town had a season to forget in the Ryman Premier as they finished rock bottom. With 32 points from 46 games and 20 points from safety. Bury Town only managed to win 7 games throughout the last season and hope to better that in the Ryman North campaign as they look to battle back straight up to the Ryman Premier with all but half of the team already signed on for next season.

Who is the current gaffer?
Ben became manager of the Club in June 2014 after spending 2 years as Assistant Manager. He previously has managerial experience with Chelmsford City and has played professional football for Cambridge and Luton, as well as playing for a host of top flight non-league clubs, and best remembered for scoring the winning goal for Canvey Island in the 2001 FA Trophy Final at Villa Park.
