Blackpool and Macclesfield leapfrog Clarets in Alliance

Last updated : 02 October 2012 By Tony Scholes

Macclesfield were winners against bottom club Tranmere, one of two still to record a win and Blackpool enjoyed a win against next to the bottom Morecambe, the other team still without a victory, in what had to be the match of the day.

Blackpool won the game by a staggering 6-4 scoreline. It seems as though both sides were throwing one in during that game.

Carlisle, without a game with their fixture at Bury ruled out, remain top but saw their lead reduced to one point as Wrexham won their game in hand against Oldham, whilst Preston are third having been held by Fleetwood.

The league table shows a couple of adjustments from last week besides being updated with Saturday's results. The Football League released a result of Preston 3 Walsall 3 a week ago but Preston won the game 3-2 and Rochdale's 6-1 win against Accrington was left out.

The table below is now up to date and correct.

Burnley have no game this week. We'll next be in action against Blackpool a week on Saturday. The latest results and the next fixtures are shown below along with Burnley's goalscorers.
