Anyone know of any sites, beyond Wikipedia, with any stats, results, info, archive stuff for the NPL, circa 1970 – 1978?Strange u should of just asked that . Dont know of any sites for u but just been delivering in Great Harwood so went to look at their old ground why i was there as it was my 1st ever away match back in 1972.Its derelict now which is such a shame cos it brought back fond memories of when i was a kid n just started watching latics.Got talking to an old fella who was walking past n he asked me did we win 4-3 which was true .Innit mad how both clubs fortunes have changed over the years
Great Harwood !!!!! theres a name from our past when you look at us now its impossible to imagine we ever played the likes. How about some more we have done battle with?
Netherfield
Kendal
South Shields
Mossley
Gainsborough Trinity
RossendaleAnd of course Skem Utd
Great days great memories

are netherfield and kendal the same club now ?
think my dad flew to south shields one year lol. My favourite memories were lancaster away leatherhead away in trophy n the usual grudge match with stafford rangers which always drew a big crowd.Great days great memories
Just looking at the NPL final tables during the mid seventies suggests we dipped the couple of seasons before election to the league and finished second the year we got elected.
Other names that evoke great memories:
South Liverpool
Goole Town
BuxtonBig games were always against the likes of Stafford Rangers, Boston United, Altrincham and Scarborough.
One of the reasons I’m trying to get info is to nail my first game. I thought it was Autumn 1971 against Runcorn, a 3-1 win, but it must have been Autumn 1970 as I went to Maine Road in 1971. I’ll find it sooner or later.

Get in touch with Geoff Rourke if u know him . he told me the date score and scorer for my 1st game against Witton albion back in 1972 within 2 days of me asking him.He is super stats in my eyes.
I think Boston Utd won it in 78 and were a bit miffed we got the vote for the NPL Im sure it was Bath City who got the southern vote. A crowd of 8000 at Sringy v Stafford one year
Where’s Garswood when you need him?At work, actually – but on lunch.
A good source of info club by club is at http://www.fchd.info/
For tables try http://www.rsssf.com/tablese/engnorthpremchamp.html

Beltin’ that mate, thank you ;)
I remember it being a night match but would have guessed at Wednesday rather than Friday.
Thanks to Garswood too, for the links ;)

Just dug the programme out and it has match details written inside it ,but cant confirm they correct. Fleming scored all 3 Latics goals and Lace got Runcorns. Sutherland got sent off for Latics and Glover for Runcorn.But i am sure you remember that ;)Proper confused now, because I’ve spent forty years thinking Geoff Davies got at least two in that match?! :?
No recollection of any sendings off either but then again, I was only six :) Definitely that game though, result, opponents and night match confirm that. Thanks again ;)
Blimey ! now thats wot u call stats. Hows yer Nuts Btw:lol: Not good mate been hozzy again this morn and they reckon i done my cruciate ligament.Didnt do it any good on sunday,ended up rolling around on floor when we equalised :lol:
Banjo i cant say whats written in programme is correct.You could well be right.
