I sponsored the match ball for that game! £25 quid, and Doug (forgotten the surname) got me and my dad a cup of tea and a cheese roll at half time, how things have changed....
Yesterday was a fantastic day; that was one of the best endings ever, i was in the North Stand at the top and the atmosphere up there was amazing, i was jumping around like a loon, happy days.
Maybe Dougie Woodman... |

I see the away attendance from Macc was way over what they expected at 271. From the Macclesfield web site. Despite two injury time penalties giving Swindon Town maximum points in our EFL opener yesterday, the afternoon was one which will remain in our hearts forevermore and much of that was down to you - our incredible fans who yet again proved to be our twelfth man.
Mark Yates and the players have been quick to recognise the unbelievable support which was on show at The County Ground yesterday, describing it as “tremendous”.
Even before the two sides entered the pitch, the cacophony of noise which was generated by the 271 visiting supporters was deafening.
Each and everyone of you played your part in showing the nation what Macclesfield Town is all about, as you vociferously got behind the side in a manner which exemplified pride and defiance.
Your support yesterday was phenomenal and we would like to thank everybody who stood with us during our first battle of the season.
We may well have been outnumbered in terms of quantity, but there is no doubt that the emotion, passion and unity which you proudly displayed is something which should be cherished and is certainly not something which we take for granted.
As we have stated previously, when we hear you raucously willing the team on we know that you are not just regurgitating words of your favourite chant. We know that every word is a piece of your heart and that is what makes the support we receive so evocative. From their forum, yet another accusation of us conning refs as many sides did last season AFTER we beat them. Also thought that we were clearly inferior in conning a poor ref. Sunbed's obviously had them working at it. Final straw for me was the ref putting all our players back In the area while he discussed matters with the lino when 3 of their players were listening in and giving their opinion less than 2 yards away. Seems like they were pens thought difficult to see at the other end. |

For anyone who was there yesterday, did they play Glad all over after the goals, I can’t remember hearing it
It was played after the 3rd goal. |

Strange Dave didn’t get any game time yesterday. Obviously not up to full speed yet, but he ain’t going to get fit sitting on the bench for 90 mins.
I can see him playing at Lincoln because of his size, although I don’t think Smith would deserve to miss out. I hope Brown isn’t thinking of Alzate as the one...
When you think we have Dave to come in, plus Richards and Woolery and then some hairy arsed defender (Brown’s description) and another striker, I’d say things look very rosy.
If we had been 2 or 3 up he would have got 30 mins no doubt. The score and situation made it so that he spent the afternoon on the bench. |

to be fair to Macclesfield fans, most seem to say we deserved it and we happy they were competative.
Think of the roles were reversed I'd have initially been angry at the time added on. Though it was correct, what with numb nuts sniper antics and the penalty chat

That's the one, thank you
Lovely bloke, I used to buy all the leftover matchday programmes from him, sometimes wonder how the car ever made it home !!. Not sure when he finished with the club but must have been before the 90's. |

I'm undecided on the incidents with their goalie. It could have just been a case of them coming together accidentally. (I'm not sure where the rules stand on that). Just how/why McGlashan? got a yellow, though, is beyond me. |

Handball apparently, pushed the ball past the defender and ref blew for that. |
