🎶 We are the Silkmen, We’re on our way back 🎶

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

It won’t get better than this.
The biggest upset ever.
Part-time, regional league Macclesfield beating Crystal Palace’s international athletes from the world over, the reigning FA Cup champions.
This result will live forever. 🔵⚪️

[Macclesfield FC @thesilkmen]

IT’S DAVID WHO BEAT GOLIATH 😮‍💨

AGAINST ALL ODDS 💙

FT - Macclesfield FC 2-1 Crystal Palace

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

@cestrian_10 That has a ceiling unfortunately with some of the crazy money chucked about even in non league 🔵⚪️

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

Earlier this summer Rob Smethurst on a live stream said he’d sold to the wrong people. They didn’t have his drive to take us higher & he regretted it every day.
Really, really hope he is wrong.
Where has the FA Cup money has gone for example? We aren’t a full-time team yet.. 🔵⚪️

📰 | CLUB UPDATE

With the consent of Robert Smethurst, Macclesfield FC can confirm that Rob has formally decided to resign as a Director.

We respect the fact that Rob has other personal interests away from the Football Club, and by accepting his resignation, he is able to spend more time pursuing these.

This administrative change has been processed and is now officially updated on the Companies House register.

The Club wishes to clarify that while Rob steps down from his day-to-day governance on the Board of Directors, he will remain a Shareholder.

In this capacity, we look forward to Rob’s continued backing as we get ready for an exciting new season ahead.

@manager202419 The full-time contact time is crucial though at this level.
Fylde. South Shields and Kidderminster last years top 3. All full-time.
Part-time teams even that do well (eg. Brackley) then are immediate favourites to drop back down again.
It’s a must at some point 🔵⚪️

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

@CJK_84 Isn’t it 5 + 5 though?
Would have been 8 + 5 now but the 8 was reduced by three so it’s now 5 + 5 🔵⚪️

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

Genuine question:
Is he banned for the first ten games?
People are saying it, has anyone official said it?
Can he stop getting suspended ffs must have missed over 20 games banned in the last year 🔵⚪️

[Macclesfield FC @thesilkmen]

Kayzee is back 💙

We are delighted to announce the permanent addition of midfielder Josh Kay 📑

@george7271982 Dawson suspended for how long and is it for accumulated yellows? 🔵⚪️

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

Great news. Great full-back. Just wish he could stay healthy long enough to show it on the pitch as much as we’d all like 🔵⚪️

[Macclesfield FC @thesilkmen]

✍️ BRANDON'S BACK FOR MACC

💙 Macclesfield FC are delighted to have retained the services of our longest-serving player, Brandon Lee!

👋 Welcome back, Brandon!

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

@Robbouts It could definitely be filed under ‘unusual’ but the eye test is the real test. Also weird no away kit as yet

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

The blue is a tad light but the Silkmen stripe is a lovely touch. Will have to judge in person.
Why we still persevere with that white badge is anyone’s guess though. Can’t talk about heritage and DNA and then just remove all the colour from the badge and never announce why 🔵⚪️

[Macclesfield FC @thesilkmen]

Its woven into our DNA 🧵

Introducing your 2026/27 Macclesfield FC Home Kit 👕

#WovenIntoOurDNA

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

Backing up that win at Altrincham with another good result. We’re a decent side for sure. How decent remains to be seen.
There are powerful, full-time teams that will be hard to overcome over 46 games but we’ll have a decent hardwork team giving it their damn best. #silkmen 🔵⚪️

[Macclesfield FC @thesilkmen]

FT | It ends all square at the Lamb Ground. Another great workout for both sides as pre-season draws to a close with the Silkmen still unbeaten!

Tamworth FC 1-1 Macclesfield FC

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

@Robbouts Yeah pretty embarrassing and a big revenue stream missed so far. 🔵⚪️

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

Serious question:
What kits are we wearing? 🔵⚪️

[Macclesfield FC @thesilkmen]

The 2026/27 season is just over a week away from kicking off 💪

@CesarRo09326532 Yeah this can definitely be filed under ‘shit Savage used to do that no one thought to pick up’. 🔵⚪️

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

@LaurentMendy78 Go smash it Skip. 🔵⚪️

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

So so so funny. Supposed to be a league above them lot..? Yikes 🔵⚪️

[Macclesfield FC @thesilkmen]

FT | Victory is sweet at Altrincham in pre-season!

Altrincham FC 2-5 Macclesfield FC

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

Genuinely delighted for Laurent Mendy here. What a big club in a great city to play your football.
How absolutely insane that Macclesfield had him in the NPL, NPL West and even North-West Counties Prem.
Enjoy skip @LaurentMendy78 you have earned it. 🔵⚪️

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

Get the vibe we didn’t really know how to do stuff from when Savage left.
Pre season friendlies seemed ragtag and disorganised.
Tamworth away..?
Cheadle Town at home at very late notice?
No kit.
These were Savage things
Curle was presumably hired to get this kind of shit done🔵⚪️

[Silkmen Fanpage @UpTheSilkmen]

Our season starts in less than 20 days yet we haven’t even had our 26/27 kits released yet, we don’t even know what they look like!

Baffling

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

If this happens quickly Laurent Mendy could be playing in the Champions League as early as next week 🔵⚪️

[Pete O'Rourke @SportsPeteO]

Hearts have agreed a deal for Forest Green Rovers captain Laurent Mendy in what is a club record sale for the National League club close to £1m. #HMFC #FGR

[Silkmen Army @silkmenarmy]

@StuartAkister @SportsPeteO He did sign this player tho so logic doesn’t quite work. 🔵⚪️
