Macclesfield v Grimsby

The Opposition

On the outer limits of Cheshire, Macclesfield have always been perceived as perennial strugglers desperate to hold on to their Football League status with some of the smallest crowds in the league. Last season the Silkmen narrowly escaped relegation after Boston’s financial problems finally caught up with them and were docked the points which would send them down several leagues and keep Macclesfield firmly placed in League Two for another season. This campaign the Cheshire outfit find themselves in the midst of yet another relegation battle and with all the teams below them having games in hand on them and teams like Mansfield, Lincoln and Notts County all picking up their form Macclesfield will be desperate for a win at home to keep them above the dreaded relegation places.
