Keep looking, might be a cheapy via Manchester or Birmingham New Street, still fivers to get to the latter, but it's really best to book now and what you would do in Macclesfield before nine God only knows, try and get off at Manchester, plenty to kill time there, a couple of pubs open near the station for breaky, and beer!
Still, below £30 for the 8.00 and 17.56 back is over half the normal return fare.

Station to Stadium
Macclesfield railway station is about one and a quarter miles from the Moss Rose ground, about a 20 minute walk away.
As you leave the station, at the bottom of the station approach, turn left onto Sunderland Street and follow until the traffic lights at Park Green (War memorial and gardens).
Turn left onto Mill Lane (it is probably better to cross onto the opposite side of the road here at the traffic lights) and follow this road which becomes London Road.
Just after passing the Catholic Church on the right the ground comes into sight ahead.
You can also catch a bus up to the ground from the new bus station in the town centre.
To reach the bus station from Macclesfield railway station, cross the main road outside the station using the pedestrian crossing, turn right and then turn left by the car showroom into Waters Green and follow this road up the hill (Queen Victoria Street) to the bus station on the left.
Buses returning from the ground stop on the main road outside the railway station.
Times and Routes: Service 9 Moss Rose circular - every 30 minutes (hourly at night and on Sundays); Service 14 Langley - hourly all day and evening (no Sunday service).
