[edit] Recent edits
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).
[edit] No wins
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.
To do list:
- Work needed on the 'History' to deal with links, highlighting etc.
- Biographies needed on George Abbey and Rob Bickerton.
- An account needed of the club history prior to the nineties.

[edit] Current Players
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)
