The article states the capacity of the Moss Rose as 6,028. The club's official site states it as 6,335, and other sources quote varying figures. Does anyone know the correct figure?
Talking of such matters, the article gives 7,002 as the record Moss Rose attendance for games involving Macc. However, both Saga of the Silkmen and the News of the World Football Annual give the record as 9,003, vs. Winsford United in the Cheshire Cup, 14th Feb 1948.—Precedingunsigned comment added by81.154.123.175 (talk)00:13, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Additions/changes in Macclesfield Town FC history (1907/09/11 and 1946), as well as list of Cheshire Senior Cup wins, are verifiable in contemporary newspaper reports, as well as in the definitive history of the club "Saga of the Silkmen" (Carnegie Publishing 2001).
As of 10/11/06, the club has gone 17 games in League Two this season without a win. Are they close to setting any sort of record yet, in terms of longest runs without a win from the start of a season?
According to the News of the World Football Annual, Newport County hold the record for the worst no-win start to a season, with 25 games in Div. 4 (4 wins, 21 defeats). Macc. are currently second in this league of infamy, as 16 is the next worst, shared by Hull City, Burnley, and Sheffield United.
Entry restructured.

Might be an idea to include a "correct as of: (date)" above the player list, as inthis article, to confirm the last time the list was updated, so that player transfers aren't missed..Beaver Patrol18:23, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you are going to delete information from the intro, please make sure that it is subsequently included into the main body of the article.— Precedingunsigned comment added byTimMassey (talk •contribs)20:51, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also added to your talk pageI was actually in the process of trimming this section to provide less detail than was there. I do not see the guide on Recentism gives a black and white answer here. The article has long held a section that Keith Alexander dies whilst manager of the clkub; indeed, this is one thing that makes the club notable. As for subsequent managers, once a permanent manager is announced, the mentions of Gary Simpson and Brian Horton would then be moved to the main body of the article, with a note of the current manager, and any other notable current-ish items— Precedingunsigned comment added byTimMassey (talk •contribs)
TheCheshire County League article says Macclesfield were twice champions in the 1930s, so clearly the post-WWII entry to the CCL was more like a renewal of an existing arrangement by a new legal entity than a new arrangement altogether, which is how it reads at present. I know it gets complicated with different legal entities but if the article is going to claim that the club harks back to 1874, then surely the history should cover the pre-WWII era as well? Even if it's just a basic outline of what leagues it was playing in.86.31.22.254 (talk)16:13, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That first sentence sounds fragmented, feels too long. I did look at a rewrite, but... hmm, it still needs sorting.Govvy (talk)22:51, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
