Had the Covid cancelation happened on the same date (March 16th) in previous years there'd have been no great escape in 2014 under Derry, we'd have finished bottom. Munto season we'd have still gone up automatically but in 2nd place with Rochdale crowned champions.
In 1996 we'd have met Oxford in the play off semi-finals, then either Chesterfield or Crewe in the final (No Bradford who would have finished 10th!)
John Barnwell's team would have won automatic promotion as runners up in 1988.
As would Jimmy Sirrel in 1987, also 2nd place.
Most agonizing of all, had Covid struck in 1977, Notts would have finished 5th, Fword 7th and no European Cups.
