What if Macclesfield go bust? 18:13 - Dec 2 with 2046 views | noah4x4 | The Silkmen face a winding up petition from HMRC on Wednesday whilst the players announced today the intent to strike over unpaid wages. Doesn't sound good. How sad for the fans as this situation doesn't look like Bury FC style mismanagement and is perhaps merely evidence that small clubs on small gates will struggle to survive in the EFL. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50634040 However, if they do fail and their 2019-20 results were expunged, Swindon, Grimsby, Carlisle, Morecambe and Cheltenham would be the biggest point losers each suffering a deduction of 3 points. The U's would only lose 1 point after scraping a draw away. That wouldn't affect our league position as Newport, Bradford and others around us would suffer the same fate. We would then be two points closer to some in the top seven. The biggest beneficiary is likely to be Morecambe or Stevenage avoiding relegation. [Post edited 2 Dec 2019 18:17]

More likely that we will put six goals past them and then...they will go into administration! |  | |  |

Gerry we are long overdue a handsome home victory. 5 or 6 against the Silkmen would do wonders for the confidence prior to the difficult games coming up. UTU's |  |

But as things stand, if Macclesfield go bust, we will get deducted merely 1 point. By contrast, Swindon -3 Exeter -3 Cheltenham -3 Crewe - 0 Plymouth -0 Bradford -1 Forest Green -3 Northampton-0 Colchester -1 We would remain in ninth, but it tightens up ninth to third still further. |  | |  |

The Judge in the High Court has adjourned the case until March 2020. We wait out UTU's |  |
