MATCH PREVIEW: STAMFORD AFC | EMIRATES FA CUP

10 Oct 2025

Share:

John Rooney’s Silkmen face Stamford AFC in the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round Qualifying at the Leasing.com Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Macc head in to this one with a point to prove and looking to bounce back from last Saturday’s defeat to Marine in the Enterprise National League North. The Silkmen will also be keen to to take advantage of their superior position to The Daniels in the non-league pyramid to see them through to the First Round Proper for the first time since reforming as Macclesfield FC.

Motivated by the same incentive, the Southern Premier League Central division side will want to repeat their feat of reaching the first round in 2016 having beaten then National League outfit Wrexham AFC.

Silkmen fans are encouraged to get behind the lads once more in a bid to set our Club record progression in the oldest competition in English football.
