Workington Reds fixtures for new 2025/26 season revealed
Workington Reds will start their 2025/26 season with a home clash against Whitby Town. The Reds now know their calendar for the new Northern Premier League Premier Division campaign. Competitive action in Darren Edmondson's second spell in charge gets under way with the visit of Whitby, who finished level on points with 12th-placed Workington last season but four places below the west Cumbrians on goal difference. The Seasiders, managed by the former Carlisle United defender Gary Liddle, will visit Workington on Saturday, August 9. Workington's first away game comes four days later with a Tuesday night trip to Stockton Town, with their first Saturday away trip the following weekend at Hednesford Town. August continues with home games against Warrington Rylands and Ashton United on Bank Holiday weekend before the month ends with an FA Cup first qualifying round tie. Reds' festive period fixtures include an away trip on Boxing Day to newly-promoted Cleethorpes Town – entailing a 414-mile round trip for Edmondson's side and their longest trip of the campaign. On New Year's Day the Reds host Lancaster City. Easter weekend sees an Easter Saturday trip to Warrington Rylands and an Easter Monday home clash with Cleethorpes, while the Reds' final game is at home to Leek Town on April 25. Reds say the latter will 'probably' be played at Derwent Park, amid plans for the demolition of part of Borough Park and the creation of the new Cumberland Sports Village.

Wayne Rooney not taking Macclesfield job
The former Manchester United and England star has been subject of interest from the National League North side as Robbie Savage edges towards taking the Forest Green post. Macclesfield this week made an approach to Rooney's agent Paul Stretford but, after careful consideration, the 39-year-old is not going to be making himself available for the job. United's all-time top scorer managed Derby, DC United and Birmingham after hanging up his boots, before taking charge of Plymouth for the first half of last season. Rooney is understood to be focused on media opportunities for the foreseeable future and Macclesfield were not considered the right move at the moment, despite admiration for the work being done there. The phoenix club were founded in October 2020 after Macclesfield Town were wound up, with chairman Robert Smethurst overseeing the side's rise through the leagues. The Silkmen started life in the North West Counties Football League Premier Division in 2021/22 and last season were promoted as Northern Premier League Premier Division champions under boss Savage.
