Saturday is Non-League Day – please support your local semi-professional or grassroots team and help to nourish football's feeder system.
But a storm is brewing because of major changes to non-league players' contracts, and at Macclesfield we have made a stand which other clubs, hopefully, will follow. As I understand it, this change comes into effect for contracts with the FA from July 2023 - but there is so much disquiet among players at National League level and below that there is even talk of strike action.
Wow – after a winter where train drivers, nurses, ambulance staff, junior doctors and border control officers have resorted to industrial action, I didn't envisage footballers threatening to strike.
