    Player Update – Macauley Wilson

    We’d like to place on record our thanks to Macauley Wilson, who has departed the club today by mutual consent.

    Macauley joined us from Bamber Bridge in the summer, with a wealth of experience. He made nine competitive appearances for the club, scoring once against AFC Liverpool.

    Living in the Blackpool area, he was travelling a distance to commute for training & matches and has car shared with fellow players who live in the area but given recent injuries to those players, it’s found Macauley in a difficult position to get to training and following discussions with Dave McNabb this week he has decided to depart Gigg Lane.

    Macauley had the following message for The Shakers fans.
    We would like to wish Macca all the best in the future.

    Match Info: Blyth Spartans (A), Sat 14th Sept, 3pm KO

    Bring it on! That’s the spirit in the camp as the Shakers face the long journey to the North East tomorrow to face Blyth Spartans in the FA Cup.


    Yes, they’re a club with a great history and in a higher league. But we have already seen off three teams from a higher division in earlier rounds and have nothing to fear.


    And another Yes – we struggled against Isle of Man last weekend. But that last kick draw with two of our players in the sin bin boosted morale on and off the pitch. And we go into this cup game on the back of a thoroughly professional 4-2 win at Glossop Town on Tuesday.


    The Glossop game proved the value of having a squad of players with strength in depth. Three changes enabled some to be rested and added fresh legs to a group of players who’d had a tough weekend.


    In Opposition – Blyth Spartans
    Despite a stunning history dating back to 1889, the Northumberland coastal town team are struggling in the Northern Premier League. They have won only one and drawn two of their eight games, and currently lie second to bottom.


    Getting through to this round of the cup was a struggle after they went one down in their Wednesday night home replay against Yorkshire amateur side Campion AFC. Blyth equalised in the second half, but the game went into extra time even after the Bradford team’s goalkeeper was shown a red card. They finally ran out 3-1 winners.


    The 1-1 draw in Bradford last Saturday was David Stockdale’s first match as interim manager. Afterwards, he said: “The main thing for me was the character that came out of it…Nobody is going to say it was a great performance, but it was a good performance in terms of character and determination, which is what I asked of them.”


    Stockdale has since been installed as permanent first team manager. Click here to read more.

    Legends Wall Update

    We’d like to provide an update on our Legends Wall.
     
    First of all, we’d like to thank all fans who sponsored a player from down the years. 
     
    We’re currently working with our Heritage Committee to create the 15 history panels that will be interjected into the player panels, matching the relevant players to the correct era. 
     
    Once designed we will publish each history panel and open these up for sponsorship. 
     
    We’re hoping to launch the Legends Wall at our first home game in October. 
     
    Thanks for your continued support on this project.
