"Macclesfield Town confirm they are offering a deal that if you pay £20,000 you can have 10 minutes on the pitch in league or cup game, reports BBC Radio Manchester."


Ridiculous.

I like the idea, but £20k for just 10 minutes? I'd hope for a bit longer than that.

Amusing idea, and will generate a bit of publicity for the club, although I'd imagine the league (what league are they in these days?) would block this, as being 'against the spirit of competition' or the 'integrity of the league'.

Someone would have to have more money than sense to pay that much for 10 minutes for Macclesfield.

Could be quite entertaining to see if a big premiership club did it.

Macclesfield will bring him on when they are winning comfortably and cruising. So that rules it out for a few seasons.

Another angle to pay as you play. Completely mad idea concocted by somebody who obviously doesn't mind risking the result of a game for a quick earner.

Remind me again? Who is the Manager of Macclesfield?
