In terms of promotion the league champions would go straight up into National Division Two while the runners up would have a one-game playoff against the runners up from National Division Three South (at the home ground of the club with the superior league record) for the final promotion place. Halifax would finish as runaway champions of the league, ending up 14 points clear of nearest rivals Macclesfield (even with a cancelled game against Blaydon) and gaining promotion to the 2005–06 National Division Two.http://www.englandrugby.com/fixtures-and-results/competitions/national-leagues/2004-2005/group/11375 National League 3 North 2004-05 englandrugby.com 30 April 2005 Runners up Macclesfield would fail to join Halifax as they lost their playoff game away to 2004–05 National Division Three South runners up Redruth in the north-south playoff in front of a huge crowd of 4,000 at the Recreation Ground.https://www.trelawnysarmy.org/ta/taleag45.html The 2004-2005 league season trelawnysarmy.org 1 May 2005 Although Halifax won the league with plenty to spare the rest of the division was fairly closely contested with only 3 wins separating 4th placed Fylde from 12th placed Rugby Lions. In terms of relegation newly promoted Bedford Athletic went down first followed by Dudley Kingswinford. The final spot was taken by Rugby Lions suffering their third successive relegation. Rugby Lions would actually have stayed up had in not been for a five-point penalty given for them fielding too many foreign players in a home game against Bedford Athletic.http://www.rugbylions.net/2004-05/index/2004-05.doc/ Rugby Lions Season 2004/05 Rugby Lions 29 April 2005 23 September 2015 23 September 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110923032253/http://www.rugbylions.net/2004-05/index/2004-05.doc dead http://www.rugbyadvertiser.co.uk/sport/so-many-what-ifs-1-1474191 So many 'what ifs' Rugby Advertiser 29 April 2005 23 September 2015 23 September 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150923180104/http://www.rugbyadvertiser.co.uk/sport/so-many-what-ifs-1-1474191 dead All three relegated teams would drop down to Midlands Division 1 for the following season.http://www.englandrugby.com/fixtures-and-results/competitions/midlands-division/2005-2006/ Midlands 1 2005-06 englandrugby.com 3 September 2005 23 September 2015 24 September 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150924044430/http://www.englandrugby.com/fixtures-and-results/competitions/midlands-division/2005-2006/ dead Although Rugby Lions were punished from fielding too many overseas players, other teams benefited immensely from their foreign contingent (particularly Halifax and Bradford & Bingley) with six of the top ten try scorers hailing from outside England. yes Participating teams and locations England 500 Locations of the 2004-05 National Division Three North teams England 52.1359729 -.4666546 70 Bedford Athletic right England 54.954853 -1.691454 70 Blaydon right England 53.847389 -1.833781 70 Bradford & Bingley top England 53.723048 -1.707525 70 Cleckheaton right England 54.52361 -1.559458 70 Darlington right England 54.52361 -1.559458 70 Darlington MP bottom England 52.4981719 -2.169995 70 D Kingswinford left England 53.745 -2.988056 70 Fylde left England 53.727020 -1.857539 70 Halifax left England 54.328005 -2.746290 70 Kendal right England 53.2581 -2.1274 70 Macclesfield right England 53.3333333 -3.0833333 70 New Brighton left England 52.370878 -1.265032 70 Rugby right England 54.967392 -2.01826 70 Tynedale left TeamStadiumCapacityCity/AreaBedford AthleticPutnoe Woods500Bedford, BedfordshireBlaydonCrow Trees2,000 (400 seats)Swalwell, Tyne and WearBradford & BingleyWagon Lane4,000Bingley, West YorkshireCleckheatonCleckheaton Sports ClubCleckheaton, West YorkshireDarlingtonBlackwell Meadows3,000Darlington, County DurhamDarlington Mowden ParkYiewsley Drive Darlington, County DurhamDudley KingswinfordHeathbrook2,260Kingswinford, Dudley, West MidlandsFyldeWoodlands Memorial Ground7,500 (500 seats)Courage Official Rugby Union Club Directory 1990–91 1990 Burlington Publishing Co.
