How Will Promoted Teams Fare Next Season?

[Green_Fingers]

Looking back at how promoted teams have fared since Div 1 was introduced (2003/4):

 

AFC Guildford finished 12^th, Colliers Wood 14^th. Guildford have since spent a bob or 2 to become champions 2 years running (barring disaster) some 7/8 years later.

 

Bedfont Green finished 19^th but spent wisely to become champions 3 seasons later

 

Bookham finished 20^th and were regular relegation contenders before going down last season

 

Horley finished 5^th –the highest position any promoted team has achieved - probably because they were relegated from 5^th position the previous season due to ground grading

 

Hartley Wintney finished 21^st and were relegated again. It’s taken another 4 seasons to rebuild a promotion winning (well as good as) team.

 

Hanworth Villa finished 17^th in their 1^st season, whereas Dorking finished bottom but were reprieved due to ground grading of others. I think it’s fair to say they’ve flirted with relegation most seasons since.

 

Mole Valley SCR did better than most by finishing 8^th last season, but will do well to avoid the drop this year.

 

Farnham probably will finish just above the relegation places this year whereas South Park will buck the trend and finish top 10.

 

So how well will this season’s promoted teams do in their 1^st season at the higher level?

we played hanworth four times this year an gave a good account of ourselves taking them to a replay twice in fa cup and fa vase an losing by the odd goal if we had a fox in the box may of been a different result so going by that i think we would be a top 10 side but i think we will need to add to our a squad an must improve it !!!

I feel Guernsey will be up there.

 

Bedfont Sports could be another HV. Consolidate and then improve from there

 

Hartley Wintney - I think they will be happy to consolidate as well.

Guernsey where my choice to win the Premier Title next year comfortably,pre Wembley's Budweiser's involvement.You will not see a more Professional outfit,in the lower echelons of the Non League Pyramid than Guernsey.

 

Bedfont Sports are a tidy together Club,who have improved their facilities year on year.Player wise a few additions will see them Top 8.

Windsor ? Tweens there's a saying.....'' where there is money, there will be players ''

[ellers]

Guernsey top

Bedfont Sports 6th

Hartney Wintney 8th

[Doorknob]

Guernsey will romp it, Sports will struggle unless they mature a bit (cant rely on mates in the prem), Hartney Witney, mid table at best

[newby marvel]

Were football mates so we'll see wont we doorknob , we just have a massive team spirit im an outsider an so are others weve just played together now for 3 yrs with added players each yr hence why weve improved every season since ive been here

[TRS]

Can't wait for Guernsey to get to the Ryman and for the moment GD discovers the Isthmian forum and it's collection of bitters

 

Bet they get the easy option of the Southern though! (dead forum)

No guarantees that 3rd place is promoted, maybe even runners-up as well ?
