Workington Town are rooted to the foot of the table amid financial difficulties and a player drain, and are facing an immediate return to League One.
Meanwhile, neighbours Whitehaven, who have been continually depleted by injuries, have struggled to repeat anything like the form of last season, when they made the top six.
But Barrow, promoted alongside Workington last year, are bound for the play-offs, and Crarey, who is in his second spell at the helm at the Matt Johnson Prestige Stadium (aka Craven Park), says that while it's a big achievement, it's also an indicator of the club's determination to progress.
