Has any relegated team to the C/C been promoted back to level 4 at the first attempt.

 

I'm sure teams relegated from the Premier to Div 1 have gone back up at the first attempt, but who?

Chessington & Hook did a couple of seasons ago, as did Sutton Common Rovers (Mole Valley as they were then) a few years back now.

 

None have gone straight back up to step 4 from recent memory

From Step 6 to Step 5, since Division One has been in operation in 2003/04.

 

Chessington & Hook United in 2014/15

Mole Valley SCR in 2012/13

Dorking in 2008/09

Farnham Town and Horley Town in 2006/07 after both were forcibly demoted in 2005/06. Farnham were again denied promotion that season and had to wait a few more years before getting another chance.

AFC Wallingford in 2005/06 although they never came up - don't know whether that was because they were denied or moved to another Step Five League

 

As for bouncing back from Step 5 to 4, no club has done this since the steps were realigned in 2004, with Windsor being closest when they were runners up to Guildford in 2011/12. The signs don't look good for NGU and W&H based on this.

 

Since Windsor in 2011/12 we had no clubs relegated to us in 2012/13 and 2013/14 but in 2014/15 we had:

Ashford Town (Mx) 3rd,

Guildford City 17th,

Chertsey Town 20th:

 

and in 2015/16:

AFC Hayes 16th

Redhill 20th

Obviously the strength of the top C/C teams against a relegated team from step 4 will make it very hard to get the single promotion spot. Will the two teams change things, possibly not, Hartly Wintney, Camberley, Bedfont Sports are my contenders for a top spot. After watching Abbey a few times last season they could well finish top six.
