Official statement on Margate's position in the Ryman League

[StuyRandall]

It would cost them a lot more to travel to Merthyr Tydfil and Truro...

[JeremyJacobs]

But who's stupid idea was it to promote Bury Town into the Ryman Premier?? Think the travel costs alone will probably send them under!

 

Think of Lowestoft and Truro!

 

Bury don't have far to travel to the Essex clubs (not to include Grays!)

Is if salisbury get/chose demotion to the zamerretto-could that yet mean that cambridge city get their wish to swop and join the ryman ?

 

That would be cool-a proper away day to a decent place

Are we bored, keen or sad-17 of us on the forum at noon on sunday !)

 

Good to read that with merthyrs demise, that Ashford may also be re-instated.

 

Liked going there-and localish -and i feel unfairly criticised as a ground by heathrow-never worried me.

 

Also means that were'not sole benefactors of any reprieves so feel less guilty.

 

(mb can also claim he saved all three clubs he was involved with from relegation !)

 

If Ashford are reprieved-i guess one ryman club has to switch to Zamerretto -who will that be ?

[Coffin Ender]

Utter hellhole. Only good thing is that we've never lost to them. I thought they had been moved to the Southern League anyway.

My understanding is Ashford have rejected the offer of a reprieve. That has now gone to Southern Prem side Hemel Hempstead (who finished third bottom in that division).

 

Aside from Merthyr....due to the possible liquidation of Ashton Utd in the Unibond Prem, Waltham Abbey might possibly be reprieved instead if the FA committee decide to reprieve the teams outstanding with the best PPG. If not then the bottom side in Unibond Prem, the hapless much talked about Durham City will somehow earn the reprieve!
