I didn't think it was MG I was just interested to see what your thoughts were and I totally agree with you. In fact everyone I spoke to holds the same view.

I heard that Folly Lane asked not to be promoted so in that case why couldn't West Bank take their place in the premier division. Not sure why a team would play all season to win their league then not want to step up

I think WB are returning at the level they left at so I think that's probably right. Each division is 10 teams so maybe the league wanted it that way rather than have 2 divisions with odd numbers & one teams from each not playing each week. The email says the structure is proposed so isn't yet fixed, if you haven't already done so maybe Hindpool can appeal?



Good to see the likes of Cadishead, Newton, Leyland & Eccleston return. It'll be interesting to see how Garswood Stags get on as well, they've set up about a mile from us. Didn't know anything about them until the leagues were sent out.

I have already appealed it just gotta wait till the new year to see what comes of it.

It should really be defined and stuck to the relegation/promotion 2 up 2 down then everyone knows where they stand. I think the league is still trying to find it's natural order since moving to summer hence allowing team in some circumstances move up or down.



I think there will be to many free weeks with only 10 teams but my understanding is that this could change to 12 following the management meeting last night.



The final structures along with fixtures should be out by next Friday so we shall soon know!!

Seems an easy way to get West Bank in premier and Hindpool in division 1 whilst not having to punish anyone else to do it? Plus wonder if the all but collapse of the winter league has seen some late applications?

New proposal is 4 leagues of 12 and an entry league which currently has 15 teams listed

West bank are in the prem this season we received a email this morning

The new structure looks a lot better, at least from ours and West Banks perspective

Are you sure it's 4 and not 5 leagues of 12? As means 12 clubs have dropped out of draft lineups (possible I guess)

Yes he meant 5 (Prem, 1-4) of 12 teams in each and an entry division as well made up of 15. 75 teams in total

Well spotted. I don't usually wake up till Wednesday
