Pay to Play for Macclesfield

[kwik-silva]

£20k for 10 minutes in the league or cup. Apparently legitimate. Something tells me not a lot of people are gonna take this up...

20k for 10 minutes lol. Perhaps if they said £1k to get 30 minutes in a friendly, they might get a few idiots interested.

Offer never lasted long, cancelled it already :


Macclesfield Town have withdrawn their offer of a chance to play for the club in return for payment.

A £20,000 donation could have led to a successful applicant making a 10-minute appearance in the league or cup.
However the club ended the scheme and apologised for an "error of judgement".
It added: "We now recognise that it creates a possibility of altering the outcome of a competitive fixture and clearly crosses an important line with respect to the integrity of the game."

In a statement, the club continued: "We are therefore withdrawing the offer and would like to apologise unreservedly to the football authorities and to the Football Conference for our error of judgement in this matter."
Macclesfield are in a perilous financial position and need £100,000 by the end of August to survive.
"The 'pay to play' proposal was one of many innovative ideas that have been considered in the last few weeks to raise both funds and interest in the club. It was intended to be a light-hearted idea that would be of interest only to our local media," the club said.
