The feeder leagues for promotion from the North Bucks Premier Division are either Spartan South Midlands Division Two or United Counties League Division One. The North Bucks League sits below Step 7 in the pyramid.

You didn't do a Rhodes did you Winslow? lol

In all fairness I'd been told the same that they stood 11 - 14 on the national pyramid. As it stands they would need promotion and would they not be better off applying to the UCL?

Haha I didn't assume I was told by someone who knows his stuff. Perhaps I confused what he told me

Is there not a ruling for the SSML whereby you’re not allowed to be involved with two Club’s at the same time at Board level

There definitely isn't a rule about not being involved on any level with any club so you are ok Rhodesy

So who is involved in two clubs rhodes

He's trying to intimate that he is already on a club board and when asked why he doesn't put himself forward at New Bradwell that he would contravene an FA Ruling.

I suspect we won't hear any more about it from Rhodent. If we do he'll just try to claim a misunderstanding about your position.

You said, to quote, 'don’t worry all of us involved in Wolverton are only interested in one thing as that’s to try and get back to our old glory days' and 'with me returning to the club and my Dad rejoining as president to join the already healthy committee we have a wealth of South Mids experience and know what we need to achieve to succeed'. Isn't that being involved in two Club's.

Think the phrase clubless, CLUELESS and sad springs to mind Rhodes, you so are not in the know haha

We have just been sent a nice write up from from a Groundhopper who was at game V Aston Clinton, its nice to see we are getting good reviews

For me, one of the highlights of the close season was the return to relatively senior

football of WOLVERTON TOWN. The old club, which played under a variety of names

and in a variety of leagues including the United Counties, Isthmian, Athenian and

South Midlands folded in 1992, but in 2004 a group of former members and current

day enthusiasts got together and resurrected the club. Initially they competed in

Sunday football, but after one season joined the North Bucks League, working their

way up to the PremierDivision before being elected into the Spartan South Midlands

League Second Division at the AGM in the close season. The old club's quirky ground

is unfortunately long gone and is now the site of a housing estate, but the re-formed

club have based themselves at the former ground of Milton Keynes Rugby Club in the

neighbouring district of Greenleys. Hyped up by the club's resurrection, I decided to

attend the home game on the league's opening day (August 18th) when they

entertained last season's second division champions Aston Clinton. On a hot day, the

teams went at it hammer and tongs in the first half which saw the visitors deservedly

edge ahead. The second half understandably saw the pace slacken but it was still

interesting enough to keep the 60 people present entertained. Wolverton came close

to equalising in the last minute but the visitors held out to maintain their narrow 1-0

lead - all in all not a bad game.

I must say I was impressed with the Wolverton set-up and there is a real buzz about

the place. There is a striking name board at the entrance, inside which is a spacious

car park with an impressive clubhouse immediately ahead incorporating a bar, large

lounge, tea bar, memorabilia area, toilets and the dressing rooms. Entrance into the

ground itself at present is out through the far clubhouse door, outside which is a flight

of steps leading up to the tree-fringed arena. The pitch runs widthways and is fully

roped-off with several loose tables and chairs on the near side. A food wagon was

positioned outside the clubhouse and on the far side two breeze block dugouts had

just been completed in the days leading up to the match. The Sunday football pitch

runs parallel to the. main playing. area a few yards beyond the dugouts. A 12 page

programme with al/ the relevant into for this stage of the season sold at the bar for

sap.

Unusually I confi;medthe fixture by e-meil.end ctub.secretery Christine Greenwood

answered all my queries inadditioti to sending me an attachment with directions to

the ground and bus times. tetectea-tocetcn the No. 4 bus from bay Zl at Milton

Keynes Bus Station which is immediately outside Milton Keynes Central Railway

Station. Buses leave at 07, 27 and 47 minutes past the hour with journey time twenty

minutes, and stop at the top of Field Lane although there is· not actually a bus stop

there! Walk down Field Lane for three to four minutes and the ground appears at the

end of what is a cut-de-sec. The return bus left at 17.09 from opposite where I had

got off and locals were waiting there too so don't be put off if you fail to see a bus o.

stop! A visit here is thoroughly recommended.
