Yes, the Rams website and the FA's own website confirms that all 9 champion clubs plus a runner-up (Enfield) will be promoted. So it looks like we will be there after all. Look forward to drawing Margate in the league cup (and then AFC Wimbledon after beating you).

Good news that your ground is finally starting to have lots of work done on it, hope you're back at HP for the big kick-off!

Promotion issues resolved

Wednesday, 11 May 2005.

 

Following a meeting of the Alliance Committee today, it was agreed to recommend to the Leagues Committee that the nine champion clubs from the Step 5 Leagues be promoted to Step 4 for Season 2005/06. This alleviates the necessity for play-off matches.

 

These clubs will be joined by Enfield FC who finished as runners-up in the Isthmian League Division Two.

 

This additional place allocated to the Isthmian League Division Two is as a result of an agreement between the Isthmian League and its former feeder leagues which allowed for two promotion places, this being the final Season for this agreement.

 

Subject to ratification by the Leagues Committee the promoted clubs have been placed in the following competitions:

 

Northern Premier League Division One

 

Goole

Fleetwood Town

Southern League Division One West

 

Rushall Olympic

Southern League Division One East

 

Enfield

Enfield Town

Ilford

Potters Bar Town

Isthmian League Division One

 

Ramsgate

Lymington & New Milton FC

Walton Casuals

Whilst this exceeds the number of promotion places available, in the opinion of the Committee, the decision to promote all champion clubs was in the best interests of the game.
