The Moss Rose is a football stadium in the English town of Macclesfield , Cheshire East . The football club Macclesfield Town welcomes its opponents to the games in the stadium, which was built in 1891. The stadium now offers 6,335 seats on the four stands; 2,599 seats and 3,736 standing places. The attendance record of 9,003 spectators dates back to February 4, 1948, when Macclesfield Town met Winsford United in the second round of the Cheshire Senior Cup .

This area would be the location for the new stadium.
