RAMSBOTTOM UNITED’S 2019-20 SEASON REVIEW

The coronavirus which hit the country in March, put an unexpected end to a season that was building up to a fascinating finale.

As the FA decided to “null and void” the season, the Rams were on a run of League form that had seen them defeated just once in seventeen matches, a run that had seen them rise from mid-table to second place, ten points behind Workington, but with three games in hand.

Hopes were high after an important victory over in Crosby against Marine... Читать дальше...

The 2019/20 season ended abruptly due to the global pandemic Covid-19.

To be fair to the Northern Premier League, when the original discussions between the various leagues at non-league steps 3 to 7 took place, their preference was, should the decision have been made to end the season, a “points-per-game”... Читать дальше...

Ramsbottom United were dealt a bitter blow last week after finding out the 2019/20 season would not be completed due to COVID-19. Second, in the table with only one league defeat since the start of November has seen the Rams produce an array of performances and results not seen since the era of Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley.

While of course, the health of the nation remains everyone’s priority for the coming weeks and even months, the disappointment in terminating the Non-League season... Читать дальше...
