With the last two campaigns being cut short due to Covid-19, the hope is next season will reach its natural conclusion, with the possibility of playing until the end of May if required.
Albion's last Premier Division game before the 2020-21 campaign was curtailed was on October 24 last year – a 2-1 win over Atherton Collieries at Wincham Park.
After an impressive start, Carl Macauley's side were fifth in the table when the season ended.
