Promotion / Relegation

[Simon BTFC]

A point at Sutton means that Aldersh*t are confirmed as champions.

 

Looks like two from Chesham, Heybridge and Boreham Wood will be joining Hampton and Enfield in the drop - although Grays still aren't safe and if we win there saturday could be a few sleepless nights there!

 

Northwood have got one of the promotion places in the bag from div 1 North, Hornchurch look favourites to be joining them.

 

In div 1 South Bognor and Carshalton look likely to get the promotion spots although Lewes can still catch them if they win their game in hand.

 

It's still wide open for relegation from the conference with 5 teams still battling to avoid joining Kettering. They include woking and Gravesend from the Ryman catchment area.

Looking forward to another 'weekender' in Bognor. As for Grays, now that would be funny if they went down!!!!

[Simon BTFC]

Grays' last game of the season is away at Ford v their former manager "Mr Stress Reduction" and former team! They wouldn't want to go there having to win I'm sure!

Ah yes, the mercurial Mr Edwards who was going to come round and er....... mmmmmm....... thats it, be somewhat nasty to us. Bald c@nt!

[Simon BTFC]

Well Grays have limped over the safety line today I reckon, as have Ford. Aylesbury are edging nearer to safety so two from Chesham, Boreham and Heybridge will go down. Boreham Wd v Aylesbury on monday could be the proverbial 6 pointer!

 

Coming up will be Northwood and Hornchurch from div 1N and Carshalton (oh joy) from div 1S - all subject to ground grading. Bognor need a point from their final game to make sure of the 2nd spot from div 2S (c'mon you rocks - a bonza away day could be in the offing there!)

 

Relegation from the conference looks confusing. The bottom 3 are Nuneaton, Southport and Kettering - none of which are exactly "Ryman teams" geographically speaking. What may happen is that 2 teams will go into the DM league, and 1 Dm team will move into the Ryman, which could be Chelmsford.

If Chelmsford were to come in our league, then that would mean that might play away at the New Lodge!

[Simon BTFC]

Assuming they're still at new lodge then we would play one game away at new lodge - as of course we did this season when we faced Ford in the Bryco away at the lodge. It's by no means guaranteed that it would be them moving accross - could be one of the Kent teams Welling or Dover.

Heybridge 50 -29

Chesham 49 -16

Boreham Wood 48 -7

®Enfield 38

®Hampton 20

 

There you go Simon, in the right thread!

One game to go for each. Personally, I hope Boreham Wood and 'Ayricks go down. But, if Lewes finish second in Div 1 that could complicate things as thier ground is not upto standard. Somebody could be in for a reprieve.

[Simon BTFC]

Just to wrap this one up, Boreham Wood and Chesham got relegated as a result of Heybridge winning 1-0.

 

Bognor (Hooray) and Carshalton got promoted from Div 1S meaning at least one bonza away piss up to the south coast! (now I've said that what odds on a midwek trip in Feb?

 

Looks like we'll be seeing Stevie Jones back at the Lodge next season, although Hornchurch could'nt quite make it up as champs.

 

Suggestion seems to be either Chelmsford or Welling could be making the switch fron the DM league so Kettering and Nuneaton can both go into the Dm premier.
