BURY will kick-off their first season back in League One with a trip to face Doncaster Rovers.

David Flitcroft’s men will kick-off their campaign at the Keepmoat Stadium, facing last season’s beaten play-off finalists Swindon Town in their first home game a week later on August 15.

The Shakers have a string of derbies to look forward to this season with Oldham at home on August 29, Wigan at home on October 10, Rochdale at home on October 17 and Blackpool at home on October 31.

The return trips are Oldham (January 23), Wigan (February 27), Rochdale (March 12) and Blackpool (March 26).

Christmas sees Bury host Barnsley on Boxing Day before a trip to Port Vale on December 28. The first game of 2016 will be at Fleetwood Town.
