Went to watch Macclesfield away at Guiseley last night. Solid 3-0 in terrible conditions so it was 100% worth it.

gfnx25 what are the chances of a second straight promotion this year? Its a big ask but its not impossible.


Very, very difficult to be fair. Yes, we have made a good start and that but I can't see this honeymoon period lasting forever so I'm just enjoying it while it lasts. We've got a very slim squad so I'm quite surprised we're not crumbling already. We've also been a bit lucky that Leon Clarke and Tom Pope have been working together so well straight away and that Rob Lainton has finally come good in the goal after we had to send Christian Walton back to Brighton back because of his injury.

Being sensible, I'd snap your hand off for a solid mid-table finish without any worries to be honest

Where can I park? Websites say there's no club car park (for fans) and street parking is for permit holders only?

Well there is a small car park but it only holds 40 cars and the main club car park is for players and hospitality guests, so what I'd suggest is trying to sneak in there early and try to get near Heywood Street, Radcliffe Road, Devon Street or Wellington Road as these are close to Gigg Lane and only some parking spaces are residents only. But parking spaces are very limited near Gigg Lane I agree

Expectations for Macc this season? Beat us at home (as usual - bogey team), although we didn't play that well that game.

I'm living in Cornwall these days so obviously don't get to many Town home games. Next game I can get to is a week Saturday away at Torquay!

Very nice choice! Falmouth's lovely. Biggest natural port in Europe I believe, but I could be wrong. It's certainly the biggest natural port SOMEWHERE; maybe just Cornwall!

Well Notts County played some great football, so does that count?

We still won and are 3 points clear at the top of the league!

Went to Exeter - Stevenage. Fantastic match, 3-3 draw, with four superb goals. Morrison's overhead was great.

5 times this year we've gave teams a lead, waited until the last 15 mins to go to a 4-4-2 and bring on some attacking players and mullered them. Wish we did this from the off. Dominated possession again but never seem to shoot. Surprised you finished with 10 men tbh, could've easily been 11v8 in last 10 mins couldnt control the 4-4-2 but we fucked up about 10 free kicks anyway. Not sure how the ref gave you a yellow card for contact in the box but no penalty haha caldwell was fuming in his interview how is that possible? 4 draws in a row now not really good enough for us but still amazingly only 3 points off top 6. I think that was Hiwulas last game in a blue and white shirt. Terrible player.

You missed a good atmosphere we sold out your stand but they kept letting people in so glad theres alot of space between the stand and the goal. Seems our drummers were sat literally a fence apart haha colchester for us on saturday i think we can win that one.

Not the first time we let a 2-0 lead slip, we did against Swindon aswell so back to the old days you might say lol. Nah but at least we got a draw and we're still up there so no complaints from me.

By the way, how is this still allowed to happen in modern day football. I know Tisdale is a bit "weird" you know but this....

Cellino pissing off Leeds fans by restricting the number of them who can travel to away games for effectively cock all reason.

Not often I feel sorry for Leeds fans, given that they made a moral choice to align themselves with the greatest evil known to man (alongside people who talk at the theatre), but this is an exception.

Can we please stop paying James Vaughan's wages until he grows up? £15,000 a week to come on and throw a ball at someone and get himself sent off. That's basically 3 sendings off in his last 30 games. He could have cost us a hard-fought point with his rank stupidity.

I was wrong and very harsh on Vaughan. Having seen the whole incident, it's never seen a red card. If Vaughan goes their guy should go for grabbing him and preventing the throw being taken. Utterly ridiculous - a bit of common sense from a referee sees both players booked for being childish. Never violent conduct in a million years. If a referee sends someone off for that we'll be playing with four a side every game and every flare up will result in entire sides being sent off.

Just when you thought Leeds couldn't get any more detestable, they hire Steve Evans as manager.

Oh and Cellino has been banned again.

He's an aggressive, horrible man. Alongside his assistant/bff Paul Raynor.

At Boston United he was prosecuted for tax evasion. The club lodged false contracts for players i.e. one player was officially paid £100 a week when actually it was £1,000 a week, huge signing on fees, no tax paid. The club got promoted, eventually they got found out and he was banned for a year. The club got to stay in the division bizarrely. After his ban he got his job back at the club, which was ridiculous, he shouldn't even be allowed to be back in football.

Often uses foul language at officials, he's been questioned by police a few times because of that. He got a ten match ban at Crawley because he was sent from the dugout so many times. I went to Torquay-Crawley when they played in the FA Cup and was standing close to the sidelines. He was a disgrace, the amount of times he was screaming at the officials and coming up to gloat/shout/hurl abuse at the Torquay staff and players was unbelievable. Also at Crawley he exposed himself and shouted abusive language at a female member of Bradford's staff.

There's probably more reasons, but there's a general gist at why Steve Evans is a vile man.
