Is this confirmed?  I thought Tooting and Mitcham Wanderers (an off-shoot of T&MUtd) were going to be in the Elite League.

I would guess that it is confirmed.

 

Would anybody happen to know when Intermediate Division One and Two lists are out?  Just that I'm looking out for whom UKFF are playing next season.

[VPCTFC]

The Surrey Elite constitution isn't confirmed as they haven't had their AGM yet.

A few teams mentioned the comings and goings on their websites. I put together a list based on this on Non League Matters clearly stating it wasn't official and the next day someone decided to update the Wikipedia page.

 

A couple of things to note - National Physical Laboratories isn't, as far as I'm aware, the name of the football team. They're just called NPL FC and PureTown are subject to a ground grading visit. They tweeted that Tolworth Court have recently installed dugouts for the team for next season. I don't know what else they needed to do. Tooting Bec FC tweeted that if PureTown failed the inspection then Oxted & District would be reprieved.

I've not seen any mention of T&M Wanderers by anyone.

[NonLeague i]

did warlingham drop out of the CCL to escape more punishments regarding their thuggish behaviour last season?

[Spencer14]

No warlingham dropped out to re-build our own ground at church road and not pay whyteleafe 8k a season

[VPCTFC]

Is this confirmed?  I thought Tooting and Mitcham Wanderers (an off-shoot of T&MUtd) were going to be in the Elite League.

 

Tooting & Mitcham Wanderers will start off in the Surrey South Eastern Combination.

They'll be playing UKFF next season then, according to http://www.ukfffc.co.uk/club/News/view/777484

Due to the demise of the CCL Reserve Division it's been announced the reserve teams of Farleigh Rovers, Sheerwater and Worcester Park will be joining the Surrey Elite Reserve Division. The Farleigh website says there are expected to be 14 teams in it so there's still someone else I'm missing. The league's Mitoo pages aren't active for this season yet.

[SCR FC Secretary]

I've been told from a reliable source that Epsom and Ewell reserves will also be playing in this league. That could be the team you are missing Chris

Or Warlingham Ressies?

[spy]

neither of them, epsom and ewell dont have a reserves and wars are playing in the redhill premier

[SCR FC Secretary]

After speaking to the Epsom and Ewell Chairman on Friday, I can say for 100% that they do have a reserve side this season and that they will be playing in the Elite reserve division.

[Smudge]

What a waste of money,for a Club that must be amongst the Title Favourites this year.What sort of players would they attract in that League.

[E&E Rich]

I really, really hope this is not the case as it would be yet another a criminal waste of money by those in charge.

 

Unless a benefactor has got involved in the very recent past, and the substantial costs of any new ground are already covered by them, the club has no money to waste whatsoever, especially as in recent years we have rarely brought in Reserves to our first team, preferring usually to bring players in on loan instead.

 

At current rates we have very few years left and even if we used an un-floodlit park pitch to do this, it would still cost money and time we can't afford (kit, pitch hire, officials, the inevitable admin fines). We advised members of the reasons for dropping them last season and so if they are restarting, they will need to be justified very clearly to members at the AGM this Sunday.

 

I'm not disputing the story, but I've been to all four friendlies this season and heard nothing, while there is also no mention on the club website. I really hope you are wrong on this. In all honesty if the club ever did start up another area, you'd think it would be a Youth team first, but nothing surprises me about organisation at our soon to be ex-club.

 

I suppose the only possibility might be that our Colts under 18 side from last season could be moving up and the costs are covered by our Colts, but as I say, nothing has been mentioned.

[E&E Rich]

Regrettably I can confirm that the club are running a Reserve team this season.

 

I am assured that this is "self-financing" and that if this is the case with entries all paid by others that it will provide useful help for Lyndon in having a Reserve side that some first teamers can "rehab" in.

 

I still don't know who has paid for the kit that they'll need or what happens if a group of people who we have never relied on before suddenly disappear mid-season or incur huge fines, so I'm still concerned.

[Non League Nigel]

I personally feel you are better off investing in a reserve side and u18's rather than try and throw money at people with little or no care for the club.

 

3 promoted sides from division one all had reserve sides,  Could you argue that injuries hampered Kilburn and Eversley's bid as they lacked the squad depth?

 

Of course there is the other argument that the last few seasons the Prem has been wpn by clubs without a reserve side although both Egham and Guernsey do have succesfull U18's outfits.
