Talk:Macclesfield Town F.C.

message: 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.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.123.175 (talk) 00:13, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Might be an idea to include a "correct as of: (date)" above the player list, as in this article, to confirm the last time the list was updated, so that player transfers aren't missed.. Beaver Patrol 18:23, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The Cheshire 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)

message: I've started a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Archive_135#Macclesfield_teams about the current scenario and team rebrand. Please contribute there. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:40, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Consensus in that discussion was that Macclesfield Town F.C. article should remain, covering history, etc, up to its winding up. In due course, a new article about Macclesfield F.C. might be started once it is playing in the English football pyramid and has been reported by reliable sources, etc. Paul W (talk) 11:50, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
