Taking the Podcast to Gigg Lane: Where Football Meets Community
Introduction

As BIMTech Media, we're always looking for ways to bring our content to life—beyond the studio, and straight into the heart of stories that matter. For Episode 11 of the BIMTech Podcast, we did just that, venturing to Gigg Lane, the historical home of Bury FC, to film an unforgettable conversation with Michael Cartmell.

Why Gigg Lane?

Gigg Lane isn’t just a football ground—it’s a symbol of community, pride, and resilience for the people of Bury. Filming on location added a vivid backdrop and emotional resonance to our episode, offering a genuine sense of place that simply can’t be replicated in a studio.

Behind the Scenes: Filming the Episode

From the moment our cameras rolled, it was clear this wasn’t your average podcast. We captured the echo of history within the stands, the cherished memorabilia in the corridor, and the palpable connection Michael Cartmell shares with the club’s legacy.

Filming in situ posed its own set of challenges—from managing ambient sound to navigating tight spaces—but our production team embraced every moment, ensuring that the visuals and audio married seamlessly to bring Michael’s story to life.

Michael Cartmell: More Than a Fan

In the episode titled “More Than Football: @BuryFC_Official, Family, and Community,” Michael opens up about his personal journey with Bury FC and what returning to Gigg Lane means to him and the broader community X (formerly Twitter).
