Because before the season started teams were listed alphabetically, so we'd have been third after Aldershot & Altrincham. We're now fourth.

Thanks Richard.

Thanks Jim.

The red arrow shows your position since your last "proper" position (ie after the last game), or in this case since before the first game (ie alphabetical)

The "in play" table shows the arrows, but doesn't affect them - eg it's comparing ours to when we were "3rd" pre-saturday behind Alty and Aldershot, and is unrelated to whether we were +1 then someone went +2 during the game.

If it included "in play" positions, it would show a green arrow because after 25 minutes we were at the bottom of the table...

I was concerned about the lack of the hyperlink. I wrote to the BBC about it last week online. I received an automated acknowledgment saying they would reply within, I think, 10 days. So hopefully something will be done.

Can't believe the BBC are running a story that's almost three years old on a 'current' page!

Not really something we want on there is it? If opposition fans want to check out Barrow AFC for the first time and they see that they will be horrified!

Mad how thats there but theres no video of our trophy win, our FA Cups runs, our Championship win last year.

Put it this way,-if this story, video, was to do with Carlisle United, do you really still think that it would be there from three years ago ?.
