Important exposure for us as well. I think we should go up because of the Bury situation if the season is curtailed. however, knowing our luck......

Hmm......and I wonder what some of the current EFL clubs think at the prospect of having us in their league!.

We are just a local club trying to do our best in difficult times, like the rest. I think a lot of fans and clubs who have watched our season from afar would welcome our return to the football league. We would be on many fans away list.

They should be scared... very scared! But they have to travel to Carlisle and Plymouth so no big deal. When we dropped out of the league in 1972 the M6 had only been fully connected for a year. Before that there were long sections of non-motorway, like the A5 around Cannock and Brownhills (I remember it well!), so, in comparison, travelling to us now is a relative breeze. :)
It all comes 'round again.

Also in the 60s / early 70s it took at least an hour to get from Barrow to the A6 at Levens Bridge - and much longer if you were stuck behind a caravan or a Brady's lorry. Getting past the Dolly Blue works at Backbarrow could also be a nightmare at times.

Brady's Lorry - Dolly Blue Works!

Blasts from the past! :)
