[Saughall Robin]

Surely we should get over this 'we should of been a league club and they shouldn't thing' it was a long time ago in football terms! It was a scandal I agree but can we move forward...finally?

Nonsense. In the wise words of Morrissey: "I bear more grudges than lonely High Court judges." The fact that those two protagonists of the great Re-election fiasco of 1980: Luton Town and Grimsby Town are now Non League clubs is an endless source of pleasure...

It's beem virtually half even my lifetime ago but I still remember how gutted I felt when I heard on the radio, whilst at work, that we had failed to be elected.
I had been SO confident of getting in that year.
The United fans I worked with took the P for what seemed months and I never forgave them either ...
Or the Edwards' at Old Trafford for saying that they voted for Rochdale instead of us because they "didn't want another local side in the league too close, geographically, to them" (Yes, I couldn't believe it either at the time!)

When was the last time we played Hyde United,Wigan and Macc in the same season anyone?

The second season of the Northern Premier League in 1969-70. At the end of that season Hyde United resigned from the NPL.
