Rebels closing in on sell-out for FA Cup clash with Macclesfield — and shot at the Third Round

Slough Town have already sold more than 1,500 tickets for their FA Cup second round clash with Macclesfield at Arbour Park on Sunday, December 7, but tickets are still on general sale.

The Rebels are desperately hoping they can see off their National League North rivals for a place in the third round of the competition - when the big boys from the Premier League and Championship finally enter the competition.

The carrot of making the third round is one that could be transformative for both sides, and Slough are keen for as many Rebels as possible to get down to the ground to roar on their charges.

The tie, which kicks off at 12.30pm, has been selected for live TV coverage, with TNT Sports and Discovery+ set to broadcast the game live, adding to the excitement and drama of the occasion, however, the club would much rather fans supported the team from the touchline rather than the sofa.

They’re hoping for and expecting a sell-out crowd for the occasion and supporters may now purchase an unlimited number of tickets from the home allocation.

Ticket sales for the away allocation are being handled by Macclesfield Football Club, with priority given to their season ticket holders.

Ticket prices are as follows: Adults: £20; Concessions (65+ and students with valid ID): £15; Under 16s: * £10. Under 16s must be purchased with an accompanying adult or concession ticket.

Reserved parking and seating is available with parking at St Joseph’s School available for an additional £5 per match when purchasing tickets online via Fanbase.

There will be no parking available at Arbour Park, except for season pass holders and blue badge spaces. Blue Badge spaces are available strictly on a first come, first served basis and cannot be reserved. Supporters with reserved seating or parking for the season may continue to use their usual allocations. Reserved seating cannot be purchased for this fixture.

Slough’s league form may be a cause for concern; however, their FA Cup form has been excellent so far. They’ve defeated Welling United after a replay before getting the better of Bedfont Sports away from home - when down to 10 men. They then saw off Enfield Town in a thrilling clash in the final qualifying round before deservedly beating National League side Altrincham 2-1 at Arbour Park in the last round.

Macclesfield sit ninth in the National League North but were in a ruthless mood when they met Slough’s league rivals AFC Totton in the last round, winning that match 6-3 to set up this second-round tie.
