Macclesfield v Plymouth in doubt

MACCLESFIELD could face further sanctions from the Football League with their League Two match against Plymouth tomorrow under threat because a safety certificate is yet to be issued.

The Silkmen were deducted six points by an independent disciplinary commission on Thursday, with a further four suspended, over non-payment of wages to players and the failure to fulfil the fixture against Crewe on December 7.

If the match against Plymouth also had to be postponed, it would incur further charges.
