Macc were always good for entertainment. I recall going to see Witton v Macc at the Central Ground many years ago to see if Peter Mellor was as good as people said he was. And he played very well ,much to the annoyance of Brian Fidler who wasn't able to beat him or intimidate him. Eventually he followed through and kicked Mellor nastily in the chest- I was behind the goal and could not believe how he was not immediately sent off. The anger of the Witton fans grew and grew so that at the final whistle they were on the pitch in large numbers and after Fidler, who beat a hasty retreat . I didn't go to watch Witton very often , except when they played Vics , but that was a memorable match for sure. Mellor went on to play in the Cup Final of course.

Lee Jackson made his return from nearly 5 months out at the weekend.

It would appear Macc have won the league.

 

[richard webb]

Won the league, or bought the league?

 

[Ben]

No doubt they’ll try and buy the league next season also.

Looking more and more possible that we’ll have three derbies next season against Linnets, Macc and Witton to look forward to!

i think getting home gates of over 4000 may have helped the cause a little bit.! no doubt every club will benefit from a visit from Macc and the gate receipts they will generate.

 

[Tony Fallows]

On the Witton forum, they are looking forward to the visit of Macc and ourselves next season.

Quite right Virgil. I do think that,( as has been said before), some of the increased revenue from the gates should have been used to pay off the debts of the previous incarnation of the Club. Legally possible for them to ignore the debts eg to the revenue, but morally bankrupt.

It'll be interesting to see if they keep the same squad or throw them away & start again.

 

[virgil caine]

all teams that get promoted will improve or upgrade the squad to reflect the standard of the higher level. and if you are getting the revenue you can do it.
my concern is a lot of their fans are a orrible !! lot..and home clubs are going to have to get the stewarding and security right.do know a few clubs in the north west counties league say they are glad to see the back of them

Lee Jackson signed a contract with Macc for next season.
