i would have hoped their ground was ring fenced by the local council so that a new club could start up at the bottom of the pyramid without having to worry about buying the ground.

The council have greater priorities than looking after a football club. Truer now than ever. If a house builder offered cash for it the council would be reckless to reject it on the grounds that a phoenix club may want to play there. The administrator will be looking to sell assets, there may not be much left after that process has run its course.

Mr. Sealey is often mentioned as being interested, he will need deep pockets if they intend to stay at the moss rose.

With money being sjhort the council will sell the land if they can and Macc Phoenix will have to play at Stockport Sports or the like

Knutsford Town may be keen on the revenue?

Oh look...I'd forgotten their nickname is The Robins.

Trafford did a deal over the car park money that helped save this football club. Stockport council bought Edgeley Park. If Macclesfiled council represent their community they should be helping keep football going in the town.

Does that still apply in, and post, a pandemic?

Doesnt have to be money. They could perhaps refuse planning permission for the Moss Rose to be turned into anything other than a football ground.

Surely the liquidators would be able to sell anything of saleable value at the ground, even if the council retained the site for future sporting/community use?

I remember us buying some turnstilles from Ayresome Park. Sanding them down would get my job as worst job on the ground, at least post Maunders. I presume they're still there.

Wouldn't mind buying their stand and putting it on the Popular Side of our ground. Might be able to pick it up cheaply in a fire sale.

Didn't someone end up buying Northwich Vic's Dane Bank stand?

Not sure what I like the most, James Lawrie's goal or Brian Flynn's reaction.

2/3 of it is painted red and located behind the goal at FC United. Don’t know what happened to the rest of it.

Oh yes, forgot that. We have our own stadium plans, if we can reuse things from Macc that's great but it has to fit in with the plan and commercial strategy, and not the other way round.

Incidentally, those two end stands at Scarborough's old ground are now at Featherstone Rovers.

Featherstone is also used for football this season by the very ambitious Wakefield AFC of the Sheffield and Hallamshire County Senior League.  Any new Macclesfield club, playing at the Moss Rose or elsewhere, should at least by able to start at a higher level than that next season, as there are already vacancies in the North West Counties League.
