146 years of history, gone. Very sad.

Macclesfield Town have been wound up after a judge was told the football club owe more than £500,000.

Judge Sebastian Prentis made a winding up order at a virtual hearing in the specialist Insolvency and Companies Court on Wednesday.

He was told the club owe nearly £190,000 in tax and more than £170,000 to two other creditors.

Lawyers representing HM Revenue and Customs had applied for a winding up order.

The judge said he could see nothing which gave him “any comfort” that the club can pay the debts.

He was overseeing the latest in a series of hearings.

Sad news. My home team Macclesfield Town FC wound up in High Court over £500,000 debts – first of many clubs to go under I fear https://t.co/gUc6W6dXoi

Macclesfield have recently been relegated from the fourth tier of league football into non-league football.

They were relegated after being docked points for breaches of regulations relating to non-payment of wages and dropping to the bottom of League Two.

Last year bosses suggested Brexit is hampering their ability to clear club debts.
