This answer is 3 or 4 ! Twice in successive seasons under Brian Godfrey as manager and once under Tisdale. It becomes 4 if you take when we competed in the regionalised Division 3 (South) and consider finishing in the top 5 as the equivalent. In 1932/33 we finished 2nd in that Competition but unfortunately at that time only the top team of both the North and South Divisions were promoted to Division 2.
Thanks for that. Not many times then!This answer is 3 or 4 ! Twice in successive seasons under Brian Godfrey as manager and once under Tisdale.

Puts things into context really. Its only the last ten to twelve years that we have progressed from our ‘normal’ bottom half of L2 berth. I am still firmly of the belief that we can become a settled mid table league one team. The aspiration must be to continue to progress but it wont happen quickly if history tells us anything

Interesting... Worth noting that the season's not over yes and Cox, Diabate, Harper and Rankine are playing a lot, so may well end up up there (though you could say that Trevitt and Hartridge are more likely to drop out). I think we should also differentiate our own players from loan players when we're thinking about younger players... The advantage of young guys playing is they progress and do better for us and can then also make us money.
Tom Nicholls maybe
