Morecambe's League Two rivals hit by points deduction
Morecambe have climbed up to 22nd in the League Two table after Macclesfield Town were deducted seven points.
The Silkmen had admitted two misconduct charges relating to an unfulfilled fixture against Plymouth Argyle on December 21 and non-payment of players in February.
The club announced an independent disciplinary hearing had applied an immediate four-point deduction with a further two points suspended, while three suspended points relating to a previous charge have also been triggered.
It means they exchange places in the table with the Shrimps and now sit second-bottom of the table, only three points ahead of basement club Stevenage.
