The visitors terrace is uncovered but provides a good
view. Some seats are usually provided
in part of the McAlpine Stand.
BY CAR – You need to travel north on the M6 either via Worcester and the M5
or, in my case, up the A49 to the north of Shrewsbury joining the A53 to Market
Drayton and onto the M6 at J15 (Stoke).
Leave the M6 at J17 (sign Sandbach/Congleton), then at the crossroads
turn right onto Old Mill Road – A534 (sign Congleton). At Congleton, join the A34 and follow signs
for Manchester. Then join the A54 (sign Buxton). At Bosley crossroads, turn left onto the A523 (sign
Macclesfield). Follow this road into
Macclesfield and the ground will be on your left. Parking is mostly in the
Streets around the ground. Distance
approx 120 miles. Allow 2 hours 30
minutes. Post Code SK11 7SP.
HUISA – depart from Radford’s at 3.00pm with a fare of £18
(members £16). Seats can still be
booked through The Club office (08442 761939).
TRAIN/BUS – Macclesfield train and bus stations are about a
mile from the ground (twenty-minute walk).
ADMISSION – Terrace, adults £14, Conc £11 (Over 60’s), U18’s
and Students £5 and U12’s £3. Seating,
£18, £14, £5 and £3. Savings of,
typically, £2 can be made by booking in advance through the Macclesfield ticket
office (01625 264686) before 12 noon on Tuesday.
ALEHOUSES – Keith’s Bar at the ground
usually welcomes visiting supporters and serves decent Pug Grub. The Bar opens at around 12.30 and has Sky
Sports screens. Leaving the ground,
follow the A523 (London Road) towards the town centre. You will find several decent Pubs along the
way including The Albion at 6 London Road and the nearby Railway View in Byrons
Lane (Boddingtons, Cains plus four guests and the best pies in Macc). Also worth a visit is the Waters Green
Tavern in Waters Green (Taylors Landlord plus at least four guests!) on the way
from the Station. The Boarhound in Brook Street is a Robinsons outlet, which
has a pool table. The Golden Lion in Moss Lane is the closest to the ground
being just 500 yards or so away. It
usually has a good mix of both home and away fans but, I believe, only serves
keg beers whereas The British Flag in Coare Street has a range of Robinsons
ales and I think is still run by a home supporter. It has a big screen but no food.
Finally, The Sun (Mill Lane) is about halfway between the Station and
the Moss Rose. It has two bars, Sky TV and offers an excellent range of beers
(no children). There is a refreshment
kiosk behind the visitors end inside the ground.
