Having posted our team for the last game we had in Div 4, in 1971 I thought it would be interesting to do so for our first game back in it after relegation. This is the team lineup for the game at Notts County Aug 9 1969. A 0-0 draw was one of our better results ea;y on, as we won only four matches upto the end of the following January. Frizzell's appointment as manager rallied the troops and we eventually climbed to 19th.
Just three players - Bowie, Bebbington, and Whittle - remained in the team for the final match in the following season when we were promoted.
