Restructure

[Southport - TOWNER]

I under stand the top 13/14 teams will go from the "premier" leagues into Conference North/South.

 

So what happens to the other 10 teams in the Ryman Premier and those in Ryman Div 1 North and South and Ryman Div2?

 

 

[lovely stuff]

The 10 left,plus the top 5/6 from div1 south and the top 5/6 from div1 north will come together to form a premier league.

 

 

[Southport - TOWNER]

... and below that?

[lovely stuff]

Apparently the Ryaman are inviting up to 15 teams from outside the ryman,to fill the gap.

 

So if ETFC can come at least third and meet the ground criteria,we have a good chance of going up.

I have been informed by a knowledgeable ryman club secretary that you still need to finish in the top two to gain promotion from the feeder leagues,although the powers that be, keep moving the goal posts to suit themselves.So who knows, the way things are panning out you may still get what you want, without getting a top two place.

[lovely stuff]

Those 15 places need to be filled,and it's unlikley that there will be enough teams that finish in the top two of their leagues and can meet the ctiteria,to fill those places alone.

[Colin, Germany]

So, is it a question of finishing as high as possible and hoping for a change of rules to make up the numbers?

[MbrunoB]

and an invite from the management commitee who may or may not contain people who have an axe to grind with any sides who qualify.

now according to an offical at another club things like the pitch can also fail a team under grading,but aint this something that can only be sorted out close-seson?

[Southport - TOWNER]

slow down, I'm just a poor nothern boy trying to earn a crust on the streets of gold (don't tell Les or Suzie (poor film unless you understand all the "in" jokes))

 

ok so at the end of the season we are looking at

 

Ryman 2 = 15 teams

Ryman 1s = 24 teams

Ryman 1n = 24 teams

Ryman prem = 10 teams (after 15 go to Conf south)

 

so that give 73.

 

you are saying 15 teams are going to join them giving the Ryman 88 teams?

over how many leagues?

 

or have I missed something

 

[Pavagrotti]

Ifs buts and maybes!

 

If we thought we would be in the top two at the end of the season we would not be stressing!

 

The town exiles have a good chance of clinching the 2nd spot ahead of us. I'm disappointed that Ronnie Watson is so on fire to stuff the town after the way we rallied round after his broken leg. Maybe he is hoping to take the Daniel Clarke route back into the town?

[Southport - TOWNER]

no not stressing, I don't think ETFC will finsih 4th.

 

But what happens to the 73 clubs in the Ryman and an additional 15?

[suffolkwilk]

anothers site has a very good bit on restructuring and where he thinks clubs will end up.

He doesn't think anyone will be promoted from the Essex Senior League.

If Town and Ilford don't get a top or runners up slot he might yet be proved right!

We at Town are going flat out preparing for the Ryman grading. Hullbridge were metaphorically gobsmacked at the transformation at the Brimobeu! I'm overjoyed at the pace the work has ramped up to! If we don't get our grading there would be no justice because things are starting to sparkle now! If you come down to the Brimobeu don't standstill too long or you will be painted!

[Colin, Germany]

Last time I was at the Brmobeu, there were a lot of children among the spectators. Presumably, some of them would quite enjoy having their faces painted.

[The Invisible Man]

I'm all in favour of painted ladies!
