    A post-season party in Ibiza is already in the offing for lowly Macclesfield after pulling off arguably the biggest upset in FA Cup history in front of their home fans

    A post-season party in Ibiza is already in the offing for lowly Macclesfield after pulling off arguably the biggest upset in FA Cup history in front of their home fans


    Macclesfield became the first side from English football's sixth tier to knock out a Premier League club, eliminating defending champs Crystal Palace 2-1.

    The Silkmen, reformed in 2020 after Macclesfield Town were wound up, sit 117 places below Palace.

    Owner Rob Smethurst says he can't fathom it...and has promised a post-season trip to the party island.
