E&E Rich Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 An extra 12 promotion places will be up for grabs next year allowing for just one down from both Steps Three and Four as advised. They could do this a number of ways. Most sensibly they could go on the best 12 Second placed PPG's where there is a second club eligible for promotion in the first place. Alternatively, they may try to redress the constant North/South drift by promoting 12 Northern League clubs in one hit. It would take them out of the Vase which has additional benefits for all other clubs too. A prominent tweeter on our club site has advised that this has an unexpected knock on effect in that many more Step Six clubs would not be able to enter the FA Cup as the extra Step Four clubs of which there would be 26, all get exemption from the Extra - Prelim round into the Prelim round, which means there are less spaces for qualifiers in the prelim round. This then means around 52 Step Six clubs across the country are unable to participate. This seems feasible unless they are going to throw all Step Four clubs in at the Extra-Prelim round stage. Hopefully they'll go for the PPG route and allow almost two up from each league as a result. It's the easiest to understand of the permutations!
