In the short time that has passed since the appointment of John Rooney as our new First Team Manager, everyone at the Club has been truly humbled by the outpouring of support and well-wishes from the Silkmen faithful.

This is something which we will never take for granted, and undoubtedly fuels our fire every single day.

On behalf of John, Robert Smethurst and everyone here at the Leasing.com Stadium – thank you.
