Premier Division - Worst Scenario?

- Will teams be relegated to Division 1? If so, will teams in Division 1 potentially go up to make up numbers and get the same kind of reshuffle as the floodlight saga season?
[Only people in the know need reply - no FTWs, PLEASE]

[HTFCew]

FTWs?

[Special1]

F'ing Time Wasters Can't think who I mean?!?

HTFCew, whos looking like entering our league next year then, kentish and haringay up, berkhamstead and stortfold???

[HTFCew]

The Prem should only be losing 3 teams - SYCOB up, and bottom 2 down, so there isn't room for both Stotfold & Berko, unless a team takes Stotfold's place in the UCL.

 

In answer to Special1, yes, teams would be relegated (unless the FA move the goalposts again), so more could be promoted from Div 1 to make up the numbers.

[HTFCew]

Tony K has done some maps on how step5 could look if teams were moved around leagues to even up the numbers and stop overlap.

 

See http://www.tonykempster.co.uk/step5.htm

 

Edit - he did this before promotions/relgations were decided.

 

Edit2 - The FA meet to discuss league constitutions on 14th May.

And our AGM is when?

[NeutralFan]

Can't see the point in moving Enfield from ESL for St Mags?

[Football Man]

St Mags ground is, technically, within Essex.

[NeutralFan]

Really? The Essex border sign is the other side of the village!(Plus the addresses are all Herts... with Stevenage postcodes?)

Is this a racing certainty then, I thought there was still some doubt on the runners up definitely being promoted

Why? You sure it's not just you being you again?

Yes, but my understanding is that the river forms the boundary between Herts and Essex and that the location of the football ground is on the Essex side of the river.

[NeutralFan]

No, the ground is on the Herts side of the river (Both the Lea and the New River)

You just don't know when to give up do you?

Keep praying.

PS I am still awaiting your congratulations.

Okay, well you learn something new every day, I suppose.

Nevertheless, it is probably still the closest current SSML ground to the Essex border (although Brimsdown probably pushes it close) and is definitely nearer to Essex than where Enfield currently play.

True, but it's not in Essex!

Isn't Sawbridgeworth is in Herts? but they play in the ESL
