Well done to Holmer Green, fully deserved champions, and back where they belong after a season in which they lost only 3 games!!

Congratulations to Holmer Green! The best clubs are always the ones that know how to carry themselves when they win and Holmer Green have been a great example of deserved champions! :applaus: :excited:

Yes, I think everyone on here echoes that following the Club's unfortunate relegation last season and also congratulations to Hadley who deservedly earned a second successive promotion

Unless they have made improvements to the ground this season, Holmer Green are going nowhere. Clubs with sub-standard grounds are usually promoted and given until the following March to bring their facilities up to scratch. However, the FA decided in March that, with immediate effect, Clubs relegated due to ground grading would lose this right. Therefore, unless Holmer Green had a Premier Division grading on 31 March just gone, they will be in Division 1 next season.

Indeed well done to Holmer Green, but what was unfortunate about their relegation ?

Football Man - So what you're saying is that London Colney may still get promoted through the back door

In theory Holmer Green were relegated due to their league position though, so they may still be promoted and given until end March 2011 to get the grading.

But also in theory they were relegated being one of the lowest 2 not to meet the grading. Another interesting AGM on the horizon. :coffee (2):

I, for one, will vote for them to go up!

Special1 - London Colney won't be too pleased to hear that, they probably think there is still a chance for them to get promoted

It makes me laugh how people can sit there and comment on the ongoings at Holmer Green when they quite clearly don't have a clue. If London

Colney were good enough to go up, they would have done automatically, and wouldn't have to look for excuses such as "Holmer Green's ground

is not ready". Holmer Green were good enough to stay up last season anyway, and got relegated on ground gradings despite there still being teams in the Premier that ground share! However, they kept their squad together, and have shown what you can achieve when you all stay as one.

 

I know for a fact that every Sunday about 8-10 Holmer Green players and staff take to the ground with their tools and cement mixers etc, come rain or shine, to get the ground up to the required standard. What's more is that these players don't get paid, they want to play for the CLUB. It's refreshing to see what they have achieved this season, and nobody will take that away from them. Makes a change from going into the clubhouse after games to see the opposition collecting their little brown envelopes with £20 petrol money in them when their players are half of what Holmer Green have.

 

Congratulations to Holmer Green and good luck to them for next season. They are a credit to grass roots football.

As well as a team who finished beneath them in the table that had points deducted for playing unregisterred players

My guess is more than two teams will be promoted from division one to the Premier Division. Welwyn are down (irrelevent of ground issues), Brimsdown Rovers (folding) and I hear that Biggleswade United could be dropping out of the SSMFL and going into the Beds County League due to financial reasons. Step 4 clubs Aylesbury United and Barton Rovers may get a reprieve due to step 4 ground grading issues and I would imagine the SSMFL committee would want to keep the Prem Div at 22 clubs. So don't expect any quick decisions and my guess is that clubs like London Colney and Hoddesdon Town may just get Prem Div football next season. :signthankspin:

Personally I'd like to see Hoddy and Colney in the Prem... as many local games as possible!
