I think we would both agree about the standard of play in the 3rd Division, being pretty close to whatever level the Northern League is or was at, at the same time.
Gonna be a pain in the arse
Yes and No, at the time the Northern League was supposed to be a feeder to the Conference, by the late 80's, despite being a good league ended up being underneath the Northern Premier League in terms of infrastructure, The Northern League equivalent at that time was(and still is today) the Northern Counties East League, when Whitley Bay, North Shields and Spennymoor United defected this is where they ended up going to escape the Northern League...Ultimately all those teams would end up back in the Northern League...As for quality, I have always thought the 3rd/2nd Division/League 1 has always been quite a strong League, moreso in recent years, Swansea, Cardiff, Bournemouth, Charlton, Wolves, Southampton, Leeds, Leicester, Forest, Norwich Sheff Wed and Sheff United recently, Sunderland, Boro, Villa in the 80's, Manchester City in the 90's, Hartlepool were a decent side up there when Hodcroft and IOR bankrolled them
