Conference North and South

[Laz]

For the benefit of those who have not visited the other site...

 

I've been doing a few calculations this morning about who will be in the new Conference divisions.

 

It's based on the given criterea and assumes the odds given by SkyBet accurately reflect the positions attained by each club.

 

The divide between North and South has then been applied by geographic position...

 

NORTH:

 

Barrow

Northwich Victoria

Stalybridge

Vauxhall Motors

Worksop

Harrogate Town

Bradford PA

Burscough

Wakefield & Emley

Hucknall

Alfreton

Altrincham

Droylsden

Gainsborough

Stafford

Worcester

Grantham

Kettering

Bedford Town

Bishops Stortford

Braintree

St Albans

 

SOUTH:

Kingstonian

Hornchurch

Basingstoke

Grays

Hayes

Hendon

Sutton Utd

Thurrock FC

Billericay

Chippenham

Tiverton

Newport County

Welling

Chelmsford

Dorchester

Eastbourne

Havant

Crawley

Weymouth

Dover

Farnborough Town

Gravesend

 

As you can see, we fall in the Northern section. Is everyone still keen on the idea? Has Gibbo and the board considered this possibility?

 

Discuss...

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Bring it on!!

 

 

[EFM's Librarian]

Even Worksop on a Tuesday night in November?

[Laz]

Worksop would be one of our local derbies.

 

How about Barrow away on a Tuesday night for a league cup second leg when we are already 4-1 down from the first.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I'm there, mate!!

 

 

[Laz]

Wasn't this on the Football Forum?

[Laz]

I wonder what Baldie will think of this.

[ESG]

yes yes yes bring it on!!!!!!!!!

[AFF]

Whippets, pigeons and mushy peas.

 

Herts blue will be pleased.

[Laz]

Do you think those who run the club have considered this, AFF?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I'd rather play in Level 6 and go north once a fortnight, than be in Level 7 and carry on going round the M25.

 

 

[Rob_the_Saint]

It's a shame Gateshead got relegated last season. Gibbo would have loved a trip up there in 2004-5.

[AFF]

I don't think that Herts blue "runs the club" Laz, although he is, clearly, a Pretty Important Person.

 

I'm impressed with your effort and work-rate there, Tone, but if you had asked me to work it out, I would have phoned the chap who used to drive the red tractor and asked him in the sure and certain knowledge that he would have done the calculations already. That's the sort of thing that these people do, for Heaven's sake.

 

I don't want to take anything away from you here, Laz, but I did make a point when the 're-organisation' was first drafted that St. Albans is a little far North to be certain of being in the South if you see what I mean. The Board would have worked out the possibilities, too, no doubt.

 

 

 

 

[Laz]

AFF, you seem to have a lot of confidence in them. I think the general assumption is that St Albans is in the South and therefore they will play in the southern section. There's no reason those in command would not have jumped to the same concusion.

 

I'd like to see what they have to say.

 

I wonder if Bedford have considered this. They are a few clubs further north than us. But then who cares.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

The boring thing is, if we're in the Southern division, there'll be no trips to the Midlands, which I was banking on. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

 

 

[CANV EFM]

im confident that at this level canvey would be in the southern section if that helps with any of your planning..?

[CANV EFM]

in fact, we are borderline for the north dutch section..

[Laz]

I think you know what division you'll be in, CANV!

[SAINTS64MAD]

I thnk its a good idea. Grantham have got a very nice stadium. ( I have ran there before)
