Macclesfield Town were deeply sadden to announce that manager Keith Alexander passed away on holiday just days before pre-season was about to start. A memorial service has been done in Alexander's honor at Moss Rose and one of the stands has been named is remembrance.

The successor to Keith Alexander is rookie manager Martyn Brown. Even though this is his first managerial job, the Macclesfield board feel that the rookie manager will do wonders for the club and take it forward.

Sorry this has been a long time coming. I have been on holiday and had internet

Not a bad start to the League 2 season. 2 wins against good teams then the let down of the losses as the
bitter pill. But will press on and gain more results in the coming matches.​
