Just spent most of the afternoon helping with the covering of the pitch. The Ref came & said he was pleased with it but will have to look at it in the morning. we have a guy on it all night with the hot air blowers so fingers crossed. At one point this afternoon the Everton team turned up to have a look at the pitch which was a surprise to us all. Cahill tripped on one of the covers & twisted his ankle.

Game could be Postponed.

Unless the temperature rises its looking dodgy?

The game could be postponed

We are a bit isolated regarding pubs, there is one on the road the ground is on Moss lane the Golden lion ask stewards when you arrive they will tell you.

Completely Agree. As i stated before its very disrespectful to expect an easy victory. No game is easy! Dark has clearly shown his young age by predicting a walk over.

The only way that i would be disappointed is if we didn't put up a fight & lost by a hat full? You see I am not expecting to win because of the vast distance in player for player, & myself am treating the game as a bonus & what ever happens happens, at the end of the day we didn't embarrass our selves at Chelsea, I know we lost 6-1 but come on 2-1 at half time at Stamford bridge & to go down to 10 men just after half time was asking a little too much?

The pressure may be on us but we are from the Premiership and know how to deal with this kinda' thing. I fully expect us to put four or five into your goal and comfortable progress into the Fourth Round. We will be able to cope with the bad conditions as most of the players featured will be from the Acadamy and Reserves who will be used to that kinda of pitch. I dont really care if the game is called off, I expect us to win whatever day its on.

 

Again - Macclesfield 0 Everton 4

Can I just say that our pitch all be it hard with the frost, is one or one of the best in leagure 2, its like a billiard table. Although you may have the right to think it, do I detect a slight, "we are a bigger team than you" in your postings? Click below for our West Ham goal

Some interesting stats. Macclesfield's best FA Cup record is the third round. They have managed it six times and crashed out to the likes of Chelsea, Port Vale, Fulham, West Ham, Watford and Swansea. Last year they failed to get past the first round losing 3-1 to Rushden & Diamonds and to get to the third round this year they have beaten Port Vale and Harlow.

 

We on the other hand have the final as our best run, we have won the FA Cup on five recent occasions and even though we crashed out of the cup at the same time as Macclesfield we have a better record. On paper the game looks like its going to be dominated by us.

 

Macclesfield 0 Everton 4

Listen as you know we are not expected to win so all the pressure (if there is any) is on you.We tend to play well against good teams as we did at West Ham earlier on in the season. It is very cold here, no underground heating here I am sorry, but covers are on & more insulation is going on as we speake? If the game was to be called off, it would be a Tuesday night game, maybe a better chance being live on TV?

Macc Lad, what's the parking like around the ground and more specifically the drinking establishments and the pies.

Plenty of street parking, but if you drive past the ground on the main rd out of Macc about 100/200 yards on the right there is an industrial site, Car garages, Curry's, MFI etc there is plenty of parking there.

Hello lads, just popped on to not wish you luck on Saturday. Read what Nigel Martyn said in the Liverpool Echo, he wants to get his facts right before mouthing off. He said, " I watched Macc get hammered by Bradford a couple of days ago, so we should not have many problems on Saturday" If he thought Morcambe were us then I always thought he needed his eyes tested especially being a Goalie? What a TIT? Obviously we are not expected to win it, but ask West Ham how we frightened them a few weeks ago in the Cup, we were winning 1-0 with 10 mins to go & then the Ref sent one of ours off for nothing & we went down 4-1 in extra time. Here's to a Giant killing eh?
