Interesting documentary on the re-birth of Macclesfield FC

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Away from the hype of the Premier League it's heartwarming to see what a club in the lower divisions means to their fans and community....

Enjoyed it, a good insight into buying a football club.

Robbie Savage had an air of David Brent about him.

Re: Interesting documentary on the re-birth of Macclesfield FC

it was a good watch

not sure how football is sustainable at the lower leagues though

Macc are going to get similar crowds as they move up the leagues, so a similar income ( via gates, merch and match day income ) yet the players wages will increase a far bit

Players agents at level is just crazy

Sav came across well, has the passion which was great to see

Really enjoyed that. Will always remember Macclesfield as being one of those sides we always played as I was growing up when we were down in the old division 3. The way lower league football has been treated by the EFL is a disgrace but I'm glad to see them surviving.
