These pre season friendlies are coming round thick and fast at the moment.  The Silkmen make the short trip down the A523 tomorrow to face Leek Town.

A bit about Leek...

Leek has a population of 20,000 and lies on the River Churnet. Love cheat Anthea Turner is from the area. She broke the hearts of Radio DJs Peter Powell and Bruno Brookes. Big Eamonn Holmes didn’t mess about; he soon arsed her off GMTV. Her fall from fame has been spectacular; I’ve not even seen her on Sky TV.

Leek Town were formed in 1946 and are currently managed by Wayne Johnson.  Harrison Park is an old school ground with an old elevated main stand running along the touchline. The ground is surrounded by housing and the odd factory.

Leek have old Silkmen goalie Steve Hodgson on their books who has been at Harrison Park for seven years.

Silkmen boss Gary Simpson has stated that he will take a strong team tomorrow giving a lot of the first team players a run out.  I think we can expect players to be given 45 minutes each.
