Ian Evatt’s Barrow make long awaited return to the Football League

Barrow are heading back to the Football League for the first time in 48 years after National League clubs voted to decide final standings on an unweighted points-per-game basis.

The decision, confirmed by a majority vote on Wednesday, sees Barrow confirmed as champions of the National League, with King’s Lynn winning the National League North title and Wealdstone the National League South.

The vote, which is subject to FA Council approval, will also see the end-of-season play-offs take place.
