Quoted from HerveJosse
Not everyone’s completely happy . Well what a surprise!
The guys rebuilt the facilities in less then 12 months during a pandemic when most people can’t get a tradesman for love or moneySpent £4m to date and has a tier 9 team with poor historic families base.
Our guys have spent £950k to acquire our club.
Good luck to both.


You're selling our new owners a bit short:

Improvements to the ground inside and out (fan zone, glass barrier in the Youngs, improvements to changing rooms and the pitch)
Improvements to the training ground including new Portakabins to give more space - and remember it's not 100% certain we'll stay at Cheapside
Investment in staff - new roles and new people
Investment in the team

I have no idea how much all of this cost and some of it will have been covered by increased income from bigger crowds but it's not like they're pocketing the cash and swanning off to Barbados!


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

Quoted from It Bites
Here we go again . Uneducated Grimsby fans slagging someone off because of his character on a football field ..... He is a true gent who is passionate and extremely knowledgeable about the game .... I bet some of you think Coronation Street is real life too


Uneducated was a funny comment , anyway It was a good programme. Coronation Street is real though…

My post wasn’t intended to be a dig at our new owners merely a benchmark for the commitment shown by the Macclesfield owners and what can be achieved in a short space of time

1878 have spent over £1m as they bought some other shares too. Then there is £1.5 of loans that they have committed. Cheapside improvements, the BP pitch, the Findus glass and all the other little improvements.

Like Macclesfield though, if you invest a bit into the product, people will come.

Chicken and egg isn't it. What comes first, investment or fans through the doors?

Just watched this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Robbie Savages words at the end were particularly poignant,..
