Gigg Lane is an all-seater football stadium in Bury, Lancashire, England.
The first match to be played at Gigg Lane was a friendly between Bury and Wigan Athletic on 12 September 1885, which Bury won 4–3.
The stadium has had permanent floodlights since 1953, although the first floodlit match to be played there took place in 1889, before the Football League had authorised the use of floodlights in competitive matches.

 Future of Gigg - :: The Official Bury FC Message Board
"Gigg Lane now belongs to one of the directors (director of Bury FC) and he and our mystery benefactor are going to approach Bury council to remove the requirement for only sporting endeavours to occur on Gigg Lane.
Though of course the Gigg is our spiritual home, it is hopelessly situated and there are real H and S problems in both entering and egressing from a single side of the stadium.
Gigg Lane is about the same size as the site of Bury General Hospital and look how many houses and flats they are squeezing on there.

 Dean West - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The young right-back began to put in some excellent displays and was spotted by Stan Ternent the manager of Bury who would go on to sign him.
West became very popular with the fans at Gigg Lane and made the right-back slot his own, helping Bury to rapid promotion up to the First Division and making over 100 appearances for the club.
It was at the end of the 1997/98 season when Ternent left Bury to become manager of Burnley, a club he had played for and had deep emotional ties to.

 Welcome to the Unofficial Shakers Site
Shakers supporters are always left somewhat bemused when opposition fans taunt them over the standard of the Gigg Lane stadium.
Although it has only been filled to capacity on a handful of occasions since its redevelopment, Gigg Lane is now a smart new all-seated arena, one of the best in the lower divisions.
This development saw the stadium capacity increase to almost 11,500 after the club raised enough cash to supplement the Football Trust grant which enabled the stand to be built.

At Gigg Lane, the support sang for 90 minutes, and after the trophy presentation and lap of honour, they clogged up the A56 as the team staged a tongue-in-cheek open-top bus ride from the stadium just 200 yards to the Swan and Cemetery pub.
Skipper Dave Chadwick, a no- nonsense centre half and self-confessed City fan, lifted the trophy and then expressed his incredulity at the club's growth from an idea discussed over a Rusholme curry to a club which at the weekend attracted a bigger crowd than half of the games in League One.
And the arrival at Gigg Lane of kit man George Hayden, who - with a couple of colleagues - had cycled to each of the 20 clubs in the division over the previous four days, was another symbol of what FC is all about.
