I watched the first half of the Wrexham game (they weren't very good I'm afraid) and the second half of the Bradford one - very impressed with Harrogate, they could go up on that form.

I believe I'm correct in saying that since promotion and relegation (from / to the National League) no side has been relegated after their first season. The promoted clubs always stay up in their first campaign.

On last night's evidence, Harrogate don't need to be bothered about relegation, I'd be a bit concerned if I were a, Barrow, Bluebird though = there's been no sort of momentum from last season there.
