Now I'm confused! What ever happened to the Plough Lane Wimbledon in that case I wonder? Were there three Wimbledons?

There was also a National Hockey Stadium Wimbledon so perhaps there were 4 :)

[quote="ant"]It was definitely all about Barrows location.Close family friend was a director on the Bod at the time and was a very good friend of the then Man City chairman Peter Swales, who was canvassing to all in support of Barrow.Was in the bag for us.Hereford and their friends kept up with the geographical issue and turned it around. And bang. We were gone.Purely down to location in the end.And that's the truth of it.

Good point. A rumour circulating at the time was that the REFs 'had it in' for us because of the time and distance it took to travel here. Nothing changes,eh?

I remember crying when I heard the news (I was only a Nipper).
Don't hate any club but Hereford United come close! :evil:

Im only 26 so dont know all the history, i know we didnt finish bottom that season BUT shouldn't we be more bitter at the FL clubs who actually voted us out? rather than the team that replaced us?

TMK I was a 15 year old at the time and like many of my mates of that age tears were plentiful.Nothing wrong with that mate.

Anyway back to the game, what do we think the starting line up will be?

Anyone interested in some internet streaming of the game due to distance etc (no excuses if you can make it then get there), but http://www.thefirstrow.eu/sport/football.html is a decent streaming service all free, just wait for ad's to disapppear. Should be good :) :flag:

Only Division 1 and Division 2 clubs had votes in the re-election which saw Barrow voted out of the league. Divisions 3 and 4 had a block vote worth 4 votes. One division 2 club who voted us out of the football league was none other than Cardiff City!!!!

And your point is ?
Simply that if Wigan are to be admired for how quickly they progressed, then it applies to Wimbledon even more so.

Do any of you technical people know if there's a way to stream this on an iPhone? An app of some description that will play it?
