The 2010-11 campaign delivered a season of consolidation for Macclesfield Town as The Silkmen secured a safe 15th-place finish in League Two under manager Gary Simpson. Leading the charge was the powerful centre-forward Tyrone Barnett, whose 13 league goals proved vital in a campaign built on grit and mid-table security. The team also enjoyed a run to the Second Round of the FA Cup, supported by the attacking contributions of Hamza Bencherif, making it a solid year that ensured their continued presence in the Football League.
