Welcome to the Silkmen Supporters' Trust.

A Christmas Greeting

Dear all

In the twelve months since the Christmas of 2020 the transformation of our club has ben nothing short of sensational. The feelgood factor surrounding the club is palpable, with the gates for our inaugural season in the ninth tier of English football surely beyond the wildest dreams of even our most optimistic of supporters. I am certain that I speak for Silkmen fans everywhere when I offer sincere thanks to Rob and Robbie; the incredible backroom staff and amazing volunteers at our club, for demonstrating that dreams most definitely can come true!!

I would now like to offer the sincere gratitude of my peers on the Silkmen Supporters Trust (SST) board and I, to all those who have supported the SST during 2021 with particular reference to:

•          All our members.

•          Clive Westbury for auditing our accounts in his own time.

•          Those who attended our Annual General Meeting and  SST

            ordinary board meetings  and putting forward some fantastic ideas      as well as thought provoking questions.

       •        All those who have contributed to our fundraising activities during

                the year.  

Your incredible support on such initiatives such as the revised 50/50 matchday draws and Easy Fundraising has meant that we have been able to provide significant financial contribution to the club on such projects as new speakers in Star Lane End, the replacement of emergency lighting in the Moss Lane stand, and emergency evacuation equipment in Bar 27. All of the aforementioned projects will invariably act as a catalyst towards increasing the capacity at the leasing.com stadium in the future.

As we move towards 2022, we the SST aim to develop contemporary aims and objectives which continues to demonstrate that the health and wellbeing of our supporters and their improved matchday experience, remains consistently at the forefront of what we are aiming to achieve, and we most definitely would like the fans that we represent to have more of a say.

This is not only with regards to how any funds raised are spent, but as to how the voices of the Silkmen faithful are heard in helping to influence positive change at our beloved football club in 2022. It is the earnest belief of my peers on the SST board and I, that this can most definitely can be achieved with the input of new board members who can help us to move forward with a range of new thoughts and  ideas.

I would like to end my Christmas address by taking the opportunity to wish all our members and of course all the staff and supporters of Macclesfield Football Club, a very happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

The Latest 50/50 Update

Dear all

The SST board have been delighted with the response from Silkmen fans to the 50/50 draw on matchdays and the financial rewards which it is bringing to the coffers of both MFC and the SST. 

The Football Club and SST are using the money raised to work collaboratively on projects that benefit not only the Club, but also you our amazing fans. 

This is emphasised by the fact that we recently formalised an agreement with CAMTEK (who installed the new PA system back in the summer) to put speakers in the Macclesfield College Stand (aka the Star Lane End) which cost £3,000..

I am pleased to be able to inform you that this work has now been completed and I would like to thank everyone involved in this project as it really does heighten the matchday experience for all those who cheer our team on from our spiritual home.

The next project is helping to upgrade the emergency lighting in the Moss Lane stand which will cost around £1800, and both of these aforementioned projects will help to dramatically improve our chances of increasing the ground capacity in the coming weeks.

Thank you

#Our town our club
