    Also big thanks to Robins and Breck for keeping us in the league when we had that big points deduction. That was a fair feat and at the time I think we were just grateful we had a club to support. They soon wiped that deficit off though didnt they and even flirted with the play off positions at one stage that season.

    Fans need to remember this when they are moaning about us struggling in the championship unfortunatelty some don't !

    If we stay up this year and have another crack at the big boys again next season I'll be more than happy.

    UTM!

    I agree, Roly... and Brin's list doesn't include Workington, Barrow, Bradford PA, Maidstone, who we saw playing against us at Millmoor, and the teams that spent time out of the Football League (many years in some cases) but eventually returned. Some of the teams on Brin's list were good FA Cup teams too (unlike us) which sometimes made a big difference to their finances, but now may be starting in the early qualifying rounds, so are very unlikely to get as far as a meeting a Premier League team in the competition.
