I doubt it seeing as though it appears United aren't actually selling the tickets.

Pay on the day or tickets from Bury.

Gotta love Bury's preview: See HERE

It's a case of 'same again' for Alan Knill's charges tonight, though the lads should be boosted with the return of a youngster from Telford. The mere fact that a young kid from the outskirts of Birmingham can have such an effect on the morale and spirit of the lads is testament along to the skills and enthusiasm of Elliott Bennett. The lad simply oozes character into the side and the dressing room.

Alan Knill wasn't the happiest of managers following Saturday's game with Sheff Wednesday stating that he believed the lads could do better.Tonight's gives the lads to prove just that.

Sheffield United though, without being disrespectful, are a better side than Wednesday - based purely on strength and depth of their squad.Big name players and premiership experience is there for all to see.Names such as Beattie, Kenny, Webber, Speed, Armstrong and more pack the Blades side with experience and flair.

Tonight's game will be the toughest of the Shakers pre-season thus far, but the introduction of Elliott Bennett should give the lads the boost to do as the manager asks - be better than Saturday.

Average game really, nothing too special.

Won 2-1. Speed with a deflected shot in 6th min, Bury equaliser from a corner around 35th min and Sharp winner on 89mins one on one with the keeper.

Stand out player, Bury's number 23 called Bennett. Looked a different class to the other Bury players, no disrespect.

pics and report up tomorrow at some stage

PS - Don't believe the report on the official site, only quickly skimmed through it and seen 3 glaring mistakes already.

That's the guy that knill was Raving about isn't it?

That's the guy that knill was Raving about isn't it?

I'm not sure but in all fairness, if he plays like he did tonight he won't be playing for Bury next season. He'll be in the Championship or better. He looked composed and skillful despite 2 or 3 players trying to get the ball off him. He had a good eye for a decent ball, looked a very promising winger.

That Bennett signed on loan for them from Wolves the day we played them
