It's a reminder that not only are we having to compete with money bags clubs but we're also going to have to overcome clubs like that who throw money around they haven't got and ask questions later.

A lot of hate on here for Macclesfield just remember they put us up for 2 years when no one would take us so think we need to show a bit of respect regardless of what people think Exactly what I was going to say. Yes like every club they have trolls who will mock clubs like us and Bury. But this is a small % of their fans. The CLUB however came to our aid in our time of need. Not only did they take us in for 2 years, they also had to give us priority regards fixtures (if we had a game called off or a cup replay and they had a fixture on the replay date it was they who had to move date if need be). We were 30 minutes away from extinction it was that close! So we as a club should be getting buckets out to pay their players like other clubs did when we were in dire need......or am I just being too nice to Macc? |

This is a difficult one, we do have a debt to Macc but collecting money to prop up bad management and support financial foul play does not sit well with me. Those who propped up the crooks who ran our club did us a disservice and the boys who protested on the pitch, hero’s in my eyes have been treat like criminals. |

If people aren't getting paid, I certainly don't object to donating directly to those people to help support them. What I don't approve of is the well-meaning but misguided attitude of "why can't a Premier League club just give them the money?" you often here from people who don't really follow the lower league. Clubs have to operate within their budget, and shouldn't be bailed out for overspending. |

You mean like when me and others walked from Wrexham fc to the deva before the orient match to raise money because we nearly went bust just over a year back. People coming out of houses/ stopping in cars to put money in the buckets IN WREXHAM! Loads of orient fans put money in too. I was one of the people who paid to watch the team because I hoped that it could survive as chester city and Vaughan would sell up. Sorry about the 'disservice' because of this. I'm not sure that most of us feel like we were in cahoots with gangsters just because we wanted to exercise our civil rights paying to watch our team! |

I feel for their supporters, not for the owners. The owner has been a serial offender when he comes to late/non payment of wages/bonuses over the last few years. Even going back to when we took Kingsley James, Andy Halls and John McCombe off them a couple of years ago it was mainly due to Macc renegading on bonus payments that were due to those 3 players that they moved on.
John Askey performed a minor miracle to get that side promoted in such difficult circumstances and then Sol Campbell, likewise keeping them up despite the difficulties experienced thanks to their owners.
I've nothing but sympathy with their plight tbh.

There had been rumours of a secret backer at Macc for long time.
There were links with the owner at Northwich Vics too, before they lost their ground.
Anyone else go to Vics to buy a ticket for our Boxing Day game there a few years back, and find YTS lads from Macc selling the tickets in the car park? I asked them why they were doing this. They said they just got told to do it by their Manager.
One of their previous owners got sent down a few years back. Something to do with funding and the grants for the new stand opposite where the players come out. I think that may have financed their first promotion into the league.
We effectively paid for the terracing behind the goal, and the roof on the new home end.

Maybe this strike action will force their owner to sell to the ex-player who has a consortium and 3 years of funding waiting in the wings. I certainly hope so.

Aye its Les Sealey's son that heads the consortium. The £36k they've lost today would have paid the wages surely. Why do chairmen like Alkadhy never learn? BTW Liverpool are beating Man City 2-0. |
