In season 2004-2005, they started playing in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, their
highest ever flight in football. One of the main reasons for their rapid promotion was that the
Football Pyramid underwent major changes in 2004. The Cables finished in 5th place that season
following the FA's decision to award them 6 points, thanks to the Spennymoor United failing to
fulfill two fixtures against Prescot. The club took duly took their place in the playoffs only to lose
3-1 at Workington.
The summer of 2005 saw a
change in organisation, with a
new football committee
formed from the Supporter's
Club taking over the reins of
the club. Andy Gray took over
as manager following the
resignation of Tommy Lawson
and saw his side finish in
mid-table for the following
three seasons.
Season 2007-08 saw the club
finish in 13th position out of
21 clubs, although they
needed a 3-2 success at
Lincoln United to avoid
relegation from the Premier
Division.
The 2008-2009 season has seen the football committe continue to make improvements at the ground and lay
solid foundations for the future. In March 2009 the Club was formed into a Community Interest Football
Club. Youth and Junior Teams have been created and are flourishing. Unfortunately the Senior Team has
struggled to compete in the increasingly high financed atmosphere of the Unibond Premier League and was
relegated to the Unibond Northern League at the end of the season.
The Manager - Andy Gray left to take up the helm at neigbouring Burscough. Ex Cables player Joey
Gibiliru was appointed Manager after a lengthy and highly competitive selection process with his Assistant
Dave Ridler, also an ex player. In their first season in charge Cables finished mid table. However midway
between the 2010-2011 Season the Committee called time on Gibiliru's reign with Dave Ridler being given
the role firstly in a Caretaker capacity and ultimately as Manager. The team limped to the end of the
season but importantly avoided the drop to the North West Counties.
