Interesting hour long documentary on the rebirth of Macclesfield FC on BBC iplayer, with some distinct parallels with our recent history
HEALTH WARNING - the only downside (and it is a major one) you have to put with Robbie Savage for an hour

Yeah I watched it, really feel for the Macc fans, not only did their club go the way it did but they now have to put up with Robbie Savage


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

I don’t see Robbie Savage as a down side. He’s alright is Sav. Seems like a good and knowledgeable guy to me.

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

i enjoyed the Fletch & Sav on BT Sport which would be on just before an afternoon kickoff game.  i'm not sure why it was ended, maybe they wanted to go separate ways, but i enjoyed it, it reminded me of Saint & Greavies (the banter).

I also like Robbie on BtSport during the 3pm games, he makes me laugh (and is always winding up Chris Sutton and vice versa).

He's probably not everyone's cup of tea but there you go.

I watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it and I think what Savage and his mate are doing is great for Macclesfield.

Good on him.

I often think there are plenty of footballers out there who have earned a packet from the game and I wonder why more of them don't do something similar.

Not everyone is completely happy with how the new set up at Macc is operating. They've treated the existing Women's team very badly and making life difficult for grassroots teams in the town - https://mobile.twitter.com/GRFinMacc

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.
