NcnsBcfc Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 1 hour ago, Carey 6 said: Must've watched 20 games across Hellenic/Toolstation Level & another 20+ at Somerset County level this season. Found it really enjoyable. The standard is obviously miles off of what you'd get down the gate, but you do still spot the odd player from time to time & games seem to have a bit more bite to them. Not seen it mentioned but Nailsea & Tickenham got promoted again to Toolstation Prem after a promotion last season from Somerset County Prem which is impressive. Oldland Abbotonians joined them the other day after winning the play offs. Saw Ashton & Backwell are dropping down two leagues back into Somerset County Prem & that potentially Nailsea & Tickenham will be using their ground next season. @Carey 6 Got to say Nailsea and Tick have played a blinder here. Their ground is part of the area designated for redevelopment by North Somerset Council. As such the Council would have to compulsory purchase it, and replace it with another ground to the same/higher standard. Cue N&T, developing their old ground at a huge rate, safe in the knowledge that they will get a brand new one, with new facilities costing far more than they have currently invested. Sad to see Ashton & Backwell drop two divisions, as a Clevedon United Committee member, I know all about reaching beyond your means. When we played Toolstation at the Hand Stadium it nearly bankrupted us. We've bought it all in house at Coleridge now, and it's a lot more manageable. Only have to look at Bitton, for an example of unsustainable ambition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the team that has to go from South to North will be one of Oxford City (if they're not promoted, that is), Bishop's Stortford or Billericay. Not ideal really for any of them given some of the northerly outposts they'll be travelling to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsince82 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Worth noting on the Western L1 allocations, Cadbury Heath took voluntary relegation. I am told that it seemed to make much more financial sense to drop a league and cut travel expenses considerably than it did to stay in the Prem, for prides sake, and face another season of crippling costs due to travelling so far south on a regular basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 At level six, I see FC Bristol have been moved sideways from WL1 to HL1. If they had stayed where they were there's at least eight Bristol(ish) teams they'd be playing next season. Over the last few years several have posted on here about off field troubles for Truro, yet they've won promotion to Nat Lge S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Have to feel for Bishop's Stortford. Win promotion to Step 2 but the geography of that level, and Oxford City's promotion to the NL, means they have to go in the North division and are facing trips to the likes of Blyth, South Shields and Darlington.

Carey 6 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Not too sure a reserve side should be allowed to play above county league tbh. Quite a few complaints about Bitton going straight into Div 1 as well. Strange that they’d opt for 19 teams in the Prem. Why not just leave Keynsham where they were? Mind you, they probably don’t fancy the away days at Helston, Torpoint & Falmouth much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 A fewseasons back Gloucester were in NL North whilst Worcester were in NL South. I queries this geograsphic oddity to be told that once a team had been placed in N or S, it wouldremain therefor at least three years. Before Div 4 was formed we had Div 3 N & Div 3 S. Each year the League would put a ruler on the map to divide 24 Northern and 24 Southern teams. Coventry, Walsall & Grimsby have plyed in Div 3 N & S as result. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel it's a bit tough on a non-league club like Gloucester that they have to travel extensively to teams that are - Hereford excepted - mainly a bloomin' long way away. I mean to go to Blyth Spartans they probably face a round trip of more than 500 miles. At the same time, if they were in NLS, they'd have reasonable derbies with Bath, Chippenham, Hungerford and other tasty fixtures with the large number of West Country clubs now in that division. It's just unfortunate that the way things balance out means a club from Gloucs and one from Hertfordshire have to play in a league with the majority of its clubs in Yorkshire, Lancashire and Northumberland. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but Truro have Torquay and Taunton to give a derby flavour and Dover have Maidstone, Tonbridge and Eastbourne within easy striking distance. There isn't a sensible away around it, other than to have leagues of uneven size, which would make promotion to a national league a bit inconsistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
