The SST are going to be running the Pledge again this season 2025/26. The aim of the scheme, like most of the Silkmen Supporters’ Trust activities, is to raise money to help Macclesfield F C and its fans. Last season we sponsored the excellent Mixyl team who provide those not able to make the games with a tremendous audio coverage and we are going to do the same this year, no doubt along with other fan-based projects on the way. Last year we were able to generate a total of £1811 thanks to the participation and generosity of all our pledgers. Thank you so much for all of you who got involved. Most of our pledges are dependent on the club’s success on the pitch and obviously with our tremendous league champions performance (109 points and goals!!!), the Silk Pledge was very successful. This season, in the much tougher Enterprise National League North , with a new young manager, is going to be challenging but let's hope for a good start. To make the play offs in our first year in this league would be fantastic.
The pledges are already coming in for the season ahead, but we need as many new pledgers as we can. For those of you who have regularly participated and have enjoyed the pledge, please help us spread the word and increase involvement across the fan base.
For those who haven’t got involved before, here’s your opportunity. It’s a fun way to help the trust directly related to the actual performance on the pitch. We do hope you can join in.
This is how it works:
We ask you the supporters, to pledge amounts e.g £0.10, £0.25, £0.50, £1.00 or more under various headings such as clean sheets, various players scoring goals, team goals, team points, team wins, penalties scored and saved, promotion and any other sensible pledges which you think are fun to make. The more ‘bizarre’ the better – but only as long as I can keep a track of it! Of course, we also will expect the regular pledges for Alty defeats (always a pleasure to see this doing well!)
All pledges will be based on 1st team games in the League, FA Cup, and in the FA Trophy (unless you specify differently) and will run from the first league or Cup game of the season.
We will keep a track of the pledges throughout the season.
