Welcome
Welcome to the Silkmen Supporters' Trust (SST) new website.
Over the coming days and weeks this website will be added to and enhanced hopefully to make it the premier site for Macclesfield Town fans.
A shopping portal will be added giving you access to thousands of high street retailers. When you use it to shop online the SST will get a percentage of what you pay. Therefore by shopping using the portal not only are you raising funds for the SST but ultimately the club.
We are investigating incorporating a messageboard at a later date.
Finally if you have any suggestions or wish to have anything posted please contact us and send a message.
