Hard no, won't go the game

Not keen, but probably still go the game

Doesn't bother me either way

Interested in the game / looking forward to it

It's a great idea

[andrewflynn]

Intrigued to get a wider opinion after a bit of group chat debate.

[Saughall Robin]

Can't believe it.

[HashtagAlty]

I agree with Bees on Twitter; probably worthwhile for football - but we should never play a rival in a friendly.

What league will Macc be in next season

[MarpleAlty]

Can we steal James Berry back from them before we play them?

[Freddie]

I won't be going as I'm still in Holland anyway, but one thing that struck me is that I'm sure we have played a friendly with them before in recent years, but possibly we were at home?

Edit: We played them at home in a friendly in 2018, so it's not like there isn't precedent for this.

Avoiding it like the plague tbh

[Timperley The Best]

I wonder if the bad element  from their support will turn out.

[CRT Butty]

Too much history for a friendly.

I wonder if the bad element  from their support will turn out.

"Seven men have been arrested following an investigation into disorder at Macclesfield Football Club's NWCFL Premier Division fixture against Congleton Town. Officers were made aware of disorder at the Moss Rose football ground at around 4.50pm on Monday 30 August 2021"

"8 Aug 2022 — A man was taken to hospital after trouble flared at an FA Cup tie between Macclesfield FC and Wythenshawe Town"

And others as well as these. Bizarrely, when I began to enter 'Crowd trouble at Moss Rose' to conduct a google search it preempted 'Moss Lane'

Now that is irony.

It's a miscalculation, in my view.

I'd prefer it if we were simply to ignore them until the day inevitably comes when we actually have to play them in either a league fixture or a cup match.

A considerably more measured and articulate response than I was able to post.

[One Foot in the Grave]

Now that I'm old and slow, there are some grounds I will never visit again for various reasons. The Moss Rose is at the head of the list.

That remark resembles me.

Same here, cannot run away in time.
