Q&A: Taking a corner at Macclesfield
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Q. How many Football League grounds allow play to be seen by people standing outside the ground?
A. Footballing skinflints may be interested to know that the League's newest team, Macclesfield, can be viewed without the inconvenience of paying for entry.
The corner section between the away end and the terraced side is not fenced off - indeed, there are helpful railings for smaller fans to climb on - and provides a free and uninterrupted view of the pitch. Fans are recommended to arrive early to secure a choice viewing position, however.

ANSWERS PLEASE
Q. Of the last 22 games that I have watched my team, Grimsby Town, play, I have only seen one win.
Even that single victory was on the day that we were relegated to the Second Division. These trips have resulted in travelling 3,500 miles over a season and a half. Can anybody match this dismal record?

Q. After his last full season for Middlesex in 1957, Denis Compton, in fact, played 12 further first-class matches. However, his official biography makes no mention of these. Could someone please enlighten me?
Tim Mickleburgh, Grimsby
