Kennedy’s praise through tough times
MARK Kennedy has handed out plenty of praise - thanking the Macclesfield Town players and fans for their efforts throughout the season.
The Silkmen have had a difficult campaign, and currently find themselves in a poor run of form, but Kennedy is still extremely impressed with what the fans and players have produced both on and off the pitch.
“I think the players have been a huge credit to themselves, first and foremost, I think they have been a huge credit to the fans and the club.
“We have been in everyday, we have trained really well, and I can’t thank the lads enough and I can’t compliment them enough on their attitude and their application – they are just a joy to work with.
“We see that every game they play. Although we have not had the wins that our performances have warranted, we have not played one game this year where we have not walked away from and thought ‘we should have at least got a draw from that’.
“You see that in the desire and the application of the players week-in, week-out. I have also got to say a huge thank you to the fans, because what the fans do for us week-in, week-out, the players see that, and they are the people they want to give back to and that has been evident in how we have trained and applied ourselves this week.
“We go to Newport away on a Tuesday night, which is a long old trip, and we don’t have 5,000 there but we have had a group of people who have turned up and supported us.
“They have brought kids with them and they are getting home at silly o’clock and then have work the next day and the kids have got school, etc.
“That doesn’t go unnoticed. We see it at home games, we see that the club have had three managers this year, but the support from the fans have been unwavering.
“We haven’t heard any bickering or moaning, all we have heard is unconditional love and support. The players recognise that. I want the fans to understand that we know how difficult it is, we know the cost and the expenses.
“One thing I love about the club is that it is a real close-knit community, we all recognise and are aware of how we work together as a community.”
