Overview
The ENL was made up from teams chiefly from the mining areas of Northumberland. However, they had chronic instability, with no team playing in the league for the full period of the league's existence, and more than half lasting for only a single year or less.[2] At least two champions of this league, Ashington and Blyth Spartans, are still in existence however. Both of these teams went on to join the Northern Football Alliance shortly after their successes in the ENL.[3]

gollark: There are obviously problems like compatibility across browsers, having to write typically nonzero amounts of JS, and some amount of weirdness.
gollark: You can load and run your applications on basically any modern platform with no install step, they can easily connect to your backend, webapps are well-sandboxed, it has *very* nice rendering/UI capabilities, and you can run code in basically whatever language you want via WASM (although it may be slow).
gollark: The browser actually is a pretty nice application platform despite its problems.
