Bury St Edmunds Rugby Union Football Club prepares to begin its National League 1 campaign this season. This move represents the highest level of competition the club has reached since its founding in 1925. The team, known as the Wolfpack, earned promotion from the National League 2 East to reach this third tier of English rugby union. Director of rugby James Shanahan describes the upcoming schedule as relentless, noting the physical challenges posed by a 26-game season. The club opens its campaign against London Scottish at 15:00 BST today at its home ground, The Haberden. Shanahan emphasized the importance of home support, aiming to build a fortress atmosphere with regular attendance of 1,000 spectators to help navigate the demanding league schedule.
