Tadcaster Albion v Macclesfield FC - 31st August 2024

Emirates FA Cup First Round Qualifying - Kick Off 3.00 pm

It's just nine day to go before we host Northern Premier Macclesfield in the First Qualifying Round of the FA Cup. Kick Off is at 3.00 pm at the Young Guns Arena.

Prize Money amounts to £2250 for the winner and £750 for the loser

It is almost 12 months since our last FA Cup encounter - who could ever forget the superb performance against National North Chester in the second round albeit eventually a 1 - 3 defeat.

Macclesfield FC can trace its history back to 1874 and at one time played in the EFL. Today's club is a phoenix club of the former Macclesfield Town FC which was wound up in 2020. They started again in 2021/22 winning the North West Counties Premier by a country mile and then straight through the following season to the Northern Premier where last season they were so close to making it into the National North. So far this campaign they have won three and drawn one.

This is not our first cup game against the Silkmen: On the 10th September 2022 we had an evening FA Trophy match (again First Round Qualifying) but it did not turn out too well!. Having held things to 2 - 0 at the interval, our opponents really took us to the cleaners eventually winning 7 - 0.

A crowd of 762 watched that match (the 14 from Tad getting a special mention from their club announcer !)and we can anticipate a good turn out from them at the Young Guns Arena

Not a game to be missed - we look forward to seeing you all!

First , however, do not forget our important home league match against Goole AFC next Tuesday 27th August Kick Off 7.45 pm when we will be looking forward to building on our performance against Boro Rangers last weekend.

Come on Taddy !
