There are now only six grounds north of Meadow Lane in our league, effectively five because Wrexham are pretty much due west. It's almost a Southern League.
Altrincham will be our 3rd nearest rivals (after Chesterfield and Solihull), we have played them once before in the FA Cup in 1972 at Moss Lane (their ground since 1910). Kevin Randall scored the only goal from the spot.
King's Lynn Town play in blue and yellow. If you remember the Walker-Slade era you might remember Colin Hoyle, he ended up leaving us for Kings Lynn, as did early 70s cameo player John Richardson.
Weymouth, a trip to the seaside, wear sky blue with claret trim. 1960s player Bobby Forrest left us for them.
Wealdstone wear blue and don't actually play in Wealdstone, they play in Ruislip (near Barnet's ground).
Not exactly Bolton, Mansfield, Oldham or the Bradford massive is it. *sigh*
