Moss Rose Ground

Moss Rose, so we had to call in the gardeners. A guy named Ross came in and did it. Did you know that Ross Mows?
First-​Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium — I’ve been to this stadium a few times, most memorably in the 00s when I saw Macclesfield face Northwich here. I love coming here. It’s such a loud and intense stadium for a tiny non league place. What a credit to this little village. Definitely a 4-​star, and if they ever get in the league and get sold out crowds, it’ll be a 5 — I know it.
I’ve been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review — like all my reviews — are from first-​hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was «stuck» in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I’ll post later. Also, when back in UK I’ll take more pix, and add more stadia!

MTFC are a small town team in Cheshire, directly south of Manchester where 2 of the biggest clubs in the UK play, and SE of Liverpool where 2 even bigger clubs play ;)
They’ve been around since 1874 which makes them insanely ridiculously old, like, if they were a human instead of a team, they’d be setting records and would be bed-​ridden.
They play at Moss Rose which holds 6k plus, and play all in blue, and are in the conference premier, they used to be in the football league itself. They are big rivals of Altrincham in the same division. Their attendances are low but passionate, and so I’ll give them a 4 for both their nice local village stadium and their historic team.

Macclesfield Town FC are close to my heart. My great uncle Wilf Hall played for silkmen for most of his career, and was always a legend around Macc. I’ve visited the Moss Rose on numerous occasions and seen its ins and outs. It really is a great family club, and whilst not as illustrious as the nearby Manchester United or Manchester City, its an equally joyous day out.
Macclesfield are a league two side currently flirting with the relegation zone, but spirits are always high and the likelihood is that Macc will stay in the football with relative ease. For the football fans out there, current star players include dangerous midfielder Lee Bell and rising potential includes 19 year old Kristian Dennis, who has scored as a substitute this season.
Macc have been at the Moss Rose since around 1990, and the stadium has a capacity of just over 6000. Over 2000 of these are seated and the rest are standing. The standing football experience is one I would recommend, as it can’t be experienced in the Premiership. A hot cup of Bovril and a sausage roll whilst standing on the terraces watching some proper football just cannot be beaten.
If you fancy a little more luxury though, The Sammy McIlroy Suite is a lovely bar area with a full range of drinks and snacks, and you still get seats just outside with an excellent view.
Macclesfield Town are a genuinely great football club, well worth a visit whether you’re a seasoned football expert or just looking to enjoy Saturday afternoon.

Macclesfield town fc has been my football club for over 8 years now and I’ve never missed a home game.
MTFC are not renown for high attendances but the entertainment is there and at affordable prices (starting from £14 for an adult ticket).
Theres also a bar that can be accessed for a few hours before kick off, they offer most brands of drinks and some of the cheapest places in Macclesfield so its worth dropping in for a pre match drink!
