MACCLESFIELD’S angry players are boycotting training after their pay went missing once again.
And the League Two outfit will go on strike for the local derby clash with high flying Crewe in Saturday if they are not given their salaries.

It is the second dispute in a matter of weeks for Macc’s men have been forced to threaten action – after refusing to play against Kingstonian in the FA Cup.
Three players have been paid on time, on an alphabetical basis, while the rest were told they would be paid on Saturday before their last game.
The money was still not in the bank yesterday and the squad stayed away as a result and they have no plans to return.
This cash row comes on top of Macc losing their training facilities last week and being forced to prepare on a half-flooded facility at a local university.
Macclesfield are 14th in League Two after picking up just 23 points from 19 games.
They will take on Crewe on the back of Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Bradford City – which saw Connor Kirby sent off.
Jak McCourt gave them a lead from the penalty spot in the 32nd minute before James Vaughan levelling the scoring in the second half.
