for what its worth from aug 68 until jan 70 it was grim.perhaps shaw,chapman and mcneill only stood out.in dec 69,john lowe a wealthy mill ownerbought the club,. sacked Rowley and made frizz caretaker,frizz wasn't first choice but eventually was made manager and got money to spend.i am not an old timer but a loyal supporter of 60 yrs.
