Quote: mmp "maybe Woolston shouldnt have had to either?
Having had Hindley come back in Div 6 / 5 and score 100 points on some teams it's damaging to the development of new clubs to throw such clubs into the bottom - and probably doesnt help them either! Even worse a Cumbrian team - travelling to Cumbria is an expense for any club but probably more of an issue for a new club which will have less established revenue streams and little by way of financial reserves. Can imagine clubs not wanting to go, and definately not wanting to go if its likley they will get a beating from a team that is actually well established having just missed out on winning the Barrow and District League...
I'm assuming the Barrow League is of a better standard than the bottom end of NWC???'"
No it doesnt - it's dull as dish water and when you do get a game against a higher standard of opposition your well and truely undercooked
Didnt they reorganise it last year so they moved mainly second teams into div 6?
