The 2006-07 campaign delivered a dramatic and desperate fight for survival for Macclesfield Town, with The Silkmen ultimately finishing a perilous 22nd in League Two, just two points above the relegation zone. The year was defined by a massive mid-season turnaround under new manager Paul Ince, who orchestrated a brilliant 10-match unbeaten run to haul the club off the foot of the table and secure their Football League status. Leading the scoring charts for the club was Kevin McIntyre, whose 9 goals proved vital in the desperate battle to avoid the drop. The campaign's true highlight was an unforgettable run in the FA Cup that culminated in a glamour Third Round tie away to Premier League giants Chelsea.
