There are four clubs that Hornchurch have never played previously – Brightlingsea Regent, Dereham Town, Phoenix Sports and Wroxham.

 

Phoenix Sports play at Bexleyheath, very close to the VCD ground.

 

Hornchurch have played Soham Town Rangers once but never at Soham, as the only match was at the Bridge in the FA Vase.

 

Chatham Town, who were in the North Division in 2014-15, are transferred to the South Division of the Isthmian League.

 

Two clubs have 3G pitches – Harlow Town is already in place and Sudbury are laying a 3G pitch in the close season.

 

​Three clubs have ground shares - Barkingside at Ilford FC, Cray Wanderers at Bromley FC, and Romford at Thurrock FC.

 

For information – Salisbury City, who withdrew from senior football last season, have been placed in the Wessex League.

 

Hereford Utd, who did not complete the season, are placed in the Midland League.

 

A full list of all allocations can be found on the official F. A. web site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[cup of tea]

Bit of a culture shock playing Maidstone this season and Tilbury / Brightlingsea Regent the next but I'm looking forward to it.

A few decent away trips, Bury is still there.

[Mr Irony]

I doubt if there's five teams amongst them that average an 100 gate

[shrimper]

bowers and pitsea  should  have replaced  barkingside  after their  record breaking season and everything moving forward ground player and even crowd  wise  but  thats the way it goes i guess with the old boy network .......

[cup of tea]

Think I would have preferred Bowers and Pitsea to Barkingside but never mind, we'll play who we need to play. 

 

AFC Sudbury must have a few quid if they're putting down a 3G pitch, they don't come cheap.

You might only have 12 months to wait....

You might only have 12 months to wait....

Don't understand - How can Bowers and Pitsea get promoted up two leagues in one season?

[Eastside Urchin]

So 13 sides who average over 100 and I would guess next season that figure would rise a bit as Thurrock,romford and aveleys average should be pushed over 100 with the arrival of us

[Big J R]

I understand that Cray are appealing the move.

[Dagger03]

Chatham - 51.3610 latitude

St Pauls Cray - 51.3998 degrees latitude

Phoenix - 51.4589 latitude

 

Chatham is the most southerly of the three.

 

The protest is presumably based on the location of their current ground-share, which is at Bromley, which is 51.3333 latitude and therefore more southerly than Chatham - but Cray have stated that they want to play at a ground in St Pauls Cray, which is further to the north.

Hey Bird Brain....Life on Mars is over - just like your days of 500 hangers on.

[romford boy]

The only local derby that means anything to Romford is against Chelmsford City. Always was and always will be.

Wonder when you will get the chance to play them again ..........

[Wivenhoe Urchin]

There's an opportunity to be the best supported team in the league if we can attract enough fans.

 

Would be nice to see more people making the away trips as well. Many local games.

 

Back to Ilford again! Very much looking forward to that.

[shrimper]

not making no more predictions  after the last  few  seasons    we might  go up ,be in the middle of the table or  relegated to the senior league  who knows  if we do hit the ground running  and then might get a  rise in home  gates if not they will drop again  and  the amount of away  fans visiting the bridge will drop lower  sign of

changing times i suppose

[cup of tea]

We'll be in the top half, challenging for a playoff spot, maybe better - Who knows.

[romford boy]

We'll be in the top half, challenging for a playoff spot, maybe better - Who knows.

Apart from the top half dozen clubs the RPL is not that much better than Rymans North where quite a few clubs will have a bigger budget than yours. 

[Mr Irony]

As promoted Witham and VCD showed this season. You're deluded romford boy.

[Eastside Urchin]

This club will challenge make no mistakes and it will be able to attract players which other clubs with money might struggle to.'
