In the vote for re election.No doubt they still have supporters around today from those sad times, We almost certainly would have been standing in the St James Road End in those days.
In the vote for re election.
Northampton : 49(who were in Division 1 six years before)
Stockport : 46
Crewe : 46
Barrow : 26
Hereford : 26
Bradford PA : 1
Cambridge C : 1
Wimbledon : 1
No votes for Bangor,Bedford,Boston,Hillingdon,Romford,Telford
Wigan,Yeovil.
In the 2nd ballot : Barrow 20 Hereford 29.
Herefords stock was high because of the FA Cup run & probably just as important in many clubs minds,not remote unlike Barrow.
Barrow applied for election the following season & did not get a single vote.
Indeed.Very close to re writing history one more vote in the first ballot is all it would have taken.
This re-election business was really an old boys closed shop clubIndeed.
In the 1975 re election Workington were re elected with only 20 votes !
Yeovil had 14 votes.
There were 34 votes spread across all of the teams wanting election...Chelmsford 4 votes & Goole Town 2 votes amongst many others who picked up votes at the AGM.
Yep.This re-election business was really an old boys closed shop club

It was 1976 that Workington had a low number of votes for re-election,Just 21. (28 in 1975)
Yeovil : 18
Kettering : 14
Wigan : 6
Chelmsford : 3
Wimbledon : 3
Nuneaton : 2
Telford : 2
Gainsborough : 1
Scarborough : 1
Workington only had 21 votes in the next re election season(1977)too,because only two non league teams were allowed into the ballot it spelt the end of their FL status,as the votes were no longer spread over a lot of teams.
Wimbledon picked up 28 votes.
The other candidate Altrincham had 12 votes.
