Macclesfield Town - the next Bury?

So if Macclesfield get a winding up order do those of us who bought tickets for the recent postponed game become creditors .

 

I don't think they will go through with the strike, I get the feeling they think they can win that game and know that the £36,000 would actually give them more chance of being paid.

That's not to say they won't do so in another game and any other game would be in EFL competition which would force their hand.

I notice that Bolton still haven't received a penalty for not playing the Brentford fixture last season, so Macclesfield doing something like this in the league would yield an unknown punishment, as Bolton should have been the warning to others but the EFL are dragging their feet on the matter.

Also you wonder why clubs get into financial trouble, look at the TV fixtures this week. Hayes & Yeading v Oxford is a Sunday afternoon game on TV, Whilst Dullwich v Carlisle and Harrogate Town v Pompey are evening kick offs on a Friday & Monday. I suppose we should be thankful the Salford love in has died down a bit.

 

The players did strike today but the game went ahead with the youth team. They lost 4 nil and fans were protesting outside the ground.

They have the 2nd round week off, I would guess if we fail to beat Shrewsbury, we will be playing them that weekend.

 

If so, hope they are still on strike and play the youth team against us!

 

Like Bolton did and nearly turned us over?

 

"It is understood that there has been some challenges with the banking process that has delayed further payments"

What challenges are these? That there is no money..

 

The way things are going, no-one is getting relegated this season.

Such a shame as it is another club that survives on a small gate attendance, which must affect their budget.

 

Players and coaches have given the owner until friday 6pm for payment of wages...............or no playing.

Dammit!

So many games called off in L1 and L2 this weekend that i put macclesfield to lose on me accy.

We struggled against this lot. Embarrassing.

 

Its quite possible that the game against us put a few in the shop window as scouts would have been swarming the place in view of their circumstances. I suspect a few raised their game to impress potential employers.
Still we weren't good enough on the day.
