A couple of non league snippets

[Reading Rebel]

Confirmed that Worcester City will be playing at step 5 next season.

[Irishadrian]

FA confirming Worcester City have voluntarily taken a double relegation to step 5

Blimey they must be up the creek to take a 3 league demotion. Didn't understand where they say they resigned from the National Leagues even though they've been relegated so you wouldn't be a member anyway?

[GlenSTFC]

So who gets reprieved and takes up that place in our division?

Harrow Borough (Ryman league) will get a reprieve. Possible that a Ryman league team will get moved into our league or bishops stortford might be put in our league.

 

Dorking wanderers would be another possible team to be promoted into our league.

From conversations I have had recently, Dorking Wanderers will be happy with Ryman Prem.

£10 for concessions that's bloody steep !!!

Gosport Borough due in the High Court on Monday could well be at step 5 next season.

[Bernie Gogan]

Worcester had already given notice of wishing to play at Step 5, irrespective of relegation.

 

According to the Directors' announcement they want to protect the money they have for a new

ground and not blow it on maintaining their Nat Lge. Nth. status.

 

Fair play I say, taking the long view not short term and oblivion. Lee Hughes is joint

manager/player next season.

Being pedantic Bernie, I think you mean not blow it on maintaining their Northern/Southern prem status as they were relegated from the National League North.

[GlenSTFC]

Wh would they blow it maintaining their Conference North status when they've been relegated from it??? ?

I could be wrong but I think they made the decision to take relegation mid way through the season so stopped investing during the season to save a bit of money.

[David Carpenter]

That's my understanding as well. So whether or not they were relegated on the field from step 2 to step 3 they in any case waned to go down to step 5 which the FA have now agreed to.

Their appearance in the high court aside, Gosport have announced on their facebook page that they have been informed that they have been put in the Southern Premier for next season.

oh goody another trip to an awe inspiring ground.

[David Carpenter]

Seems to me that the National League is at present beyond the (financial) reach of many clubs  and The National Leagues  North and South are trending that way.

[Bernie Gogan]

That's my assessment too Dave.

To me it seems more like the few who are in the main poorly supported or poorly managed.

 

The higher you go up the leagues your income has to go up accordingly or you will come tumbling down again.

Bishop Stortford have announced they have been provisionally placed in the southern premier, but don't sound particularly happy about it and could appeal.
