With the Silkmen's home friendlies now finalised, there is still some work to be done before the away schedule is complete.

"We've been working very hard to get a local Premiership side to Moss Rose and were keeping our options open" said Mike Rance. "It didn't work out which was very frustrating but we at least know where we stand and can now finalise the remainder of the pre-season schedule."

The full match-by-match list will published next early next week both on this site and in the local press.
