Promotion/Relegation

[Chris Clapham]

* The Premier Division champions only will be promoted to Step 4;

* The bottom two Premier Division sides will be relegated to Step 6;

* The Division One champions will be promoted to Step 5;

* The Division One runners-up will be promoted to Step 5 if they are one of the best nine (out of 19) Step 6 runners-up on a points per match basis nationwide;

* The bottom two Division One sides will be relegated to Step 7 (unless there are not enough teams coming up from Step 7, in which case clubs will be reprieved nationally on a points per game basis).

Step 4 and Step 5

The Clubs in the bottom two places in each of the seven divisions at Step 4 at the end of the Regular Season will be relegated and placed in the most geographically appropriate division at Step 5. These Clubs will be replaced by the fourteen Clubs finishing in first position in each of the fourteen divisions at Step 5 at the end of the Regular Season.

The Clubs promoted from Step 5 will be allocated to the most geographically appropriate division at Step 4.

A Club promoted to Step 4 shall comply with the Licensing System provision.

Step 5 and Step 6

The Clubs in the bottom two places in each of the fourteen divisions at Step 5 at the end of the Regular Season will be relegated and placed in the most geographically appropriate division at Step 6. These Clubs will be replaced by the nineteen Clubs finishing in first position in each of the Leagues at Step 6 at the end of the Regular Season together with the required number of Clubs finishing in second position at the end of the Regular Season on a points per match ratio. If there are insufficient Clubs to fill vacancies Clubs finishing second to bottom of the Step 5 divisions will be reprieved so that the best such Club shall be reprieved first.

Step 6 and 7

At the end of the Regular Playing Season the Clubs in the bottom two positions of each of the nineteen Step 6 divisions will be liable to relegation.

No more than 38 Clubs will be promoted from Step 7. Where the eligible Clubs count does not reach 38 in number, reprieves of Step 6 Clubs shall come into effect on a points per game basis.

5 clubs at step 7 have applied for promotion.

Straight into division 1. We are a team short.

Bracknell are claiming they have been accepted for the CCL subject to FA Approval for their "Development" side.

Where did the above come from Chris ?

Not sure. Middx clubs can be squeezed into Spartan South Midlands I guess. (3 are playing at SSM grounds)

Westside could go to South Eastern Comb as they play at Croydon Athletic.

Interesting that at the bottom of Div 1 we could lose some clubs based on above.

Cove are long term members of the League and they are struggling. This is Cove's 3rd year near the bottom.Fleet Spurs transferred to league from Wessex League, Kensington Borough, Deportivo Gallicia and even Eversley are all in mix
