Rochdale got back in at the expense of Altrincham because the votes promised by Luton and Grimsby were not delivered.
I think you're there Frenchie. In those days the winner of the Alliance Premier League was the only non league club which could apply for election into the football league, and the bottom clubs (4 I believe) applied for re election. In the season 79/80 Rochdale got 26 votes to the 25 of Altrincham - which was very hard because both Grimsby Town and Luton had promised their votes to Altrincham but the rep. from Grimsby was in the wrong part of the building and the rep. from Luton was late due to a misunderstanding of the starting time. Very hard on Altrincham because they actually applied for league status 4 times in very short succession. Fortunately they changed this to automatic promotion for the 86/87 season - Enfield being the last club to be denied through this means, and Scarborough becoming the first club to be promoted by merit alone. All very hard to believe now. Over to you.
Thanks cologne.

A riddle..
A man is going into the middle of the field when he gets there he knows he is going to die ... why?
I did try looking up the location of a certain clinic to see if there was a translation that would work, but it doesn't.

Yep, heard that one before, Yorkie!
OK...whose classic novel made only £38 profit in four years with more than a quarter of printed copies being remaindered?

Obviously a book which was not well received at the time but became famous after. First guess would be Moby Dick from Hermann Melville ? Either that or Tolkien's Lord of the Rings which was published in 1954 but had to wait for the hippy generation before sales really took off ?

Moby Dick was published in 1851. Earlier than that and a novel - presumably published in England because of the price given. I'll go much earlier and take a guess at Moll Flanders from Daniel Defoe ?
