We've drawn Crystal Palace in the FA Cup and as season ticket holders we've been able to get tickets in a stadium that only holds 4,500 tops. We have a plastic pitch only 100x60m and we're not even in the national leagues, which are the top 5 layers. We're at level 7, I think, maybe 8. It's a televised match if anyone wants to watch some truly amazing (not necessarily in a good way🤣) football.

Is it too much to hope that we might become giant killers?

Oh, and can I just add that Crystal Palace have been complete gems and given us, a tiny club in a little town, always struggling for money, the entire gate receipts that they were entitled to half of. That's going to be about £60,000, a fortune to us, a weeks pay to one of their big players. None of our players cost that much to buy or are paid that much in a year

Even Rooney, probably, and he's the manager 😉

That’s lovely and good luck, you’re not far from me and my parents follow you. The football club, not actually you OP😶.

"We want 3" Grin
Get in Macclesfield, fully deserve their lead!

Rehabblue · 10/01/2026 13:40

I am so happy for Macclesfield!

IAmTheLogLady · 10/01/2026 13:41

Bloody brilliant result do far OP.
Have an amazing time

MJ122025 · 10/01/2026 13:41

Watching the game and thought of you when the second went in. I have a season ticket at a lower league club so I know EXACTLY what this means. Enjoy every second.

burblish · 10/01/2026 13:42

2-0 up against a solid Premier League team is incredible!

murasaki · 10/01/2026 13:42

Crikey!!

Glittertwins · 10/01/2026 13:42

Chants of “we want 3” heard on tv. They’re doing well

Dr13Hadley · 10/01/2026 13:44

Born and bred in Macc. This is great news! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Cheesetrapped · 10/01/2026 13:48

It is going well right now OP. They are giant killing now. I really hope it lasts for you.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 10/01/2026 13:52

Forgot they won it last year!!

Hobnobswantshernameback · 10/01/2026 13:54

you're going to Wembley @Imdunfer

Peachandpassionfruit · 10/01/2026 13:57

Fantastic! I’m so happy for the fans.

mum2jakie · 10/01/2026 13:58

Can't believe there is only about ten minutes left and Macc are two goals up!!

mum2jakie · 10/01/2026 14:00

117 league places difference!

murasaki · 10/01/2026 14:01

Squeaky bum time.

Whosthetabbynow · 10/01/2026 14:01

They’re doing it!!! I’m a South Londoner and we’ve got Chelsea tonight 😱

mum2jakie · 10/01/2026 14:02

I think they are actually going to do it! Bloody hell!!

Spirallingdownwards · 10/01/2026 14:04

Watching the match and thought of this thread. It is 88 minutes and 0-0 and Palace just have a free kick. Knowing what football can be like I will hold off from congrats just yet but hope you are having a great day!

As I said (Palace have just scored!)

mum2jakie · 10/01/2026 14:04

Oh bugger!!! Surely not enough time left!!!!
