Level 4 Promotion

[Sponsor of Beer]

From the Ryman League Website. Looks tougher this season!

 

Step 3 and Step 4

The clubs in the bottom three places in each of the three divisions at Step 3 at the end of the Season 2006/2007 will be relegated to a feeder pool and placed in the most geographical appropriate division at Step 4. These nine clubs will be joined by an additional club, this being the club finishing fourth from bottom in the three divisions at Step 3 with the lowest points gained per game played. This club will also be allocated to a feeder pool. They will be replaced by the club finishing in 1st position in each of the divisions at Step 4 together with a further five clubs to be determined by a series of play off matches involving those clubs finishing in positions 2 to 5 in each of the divisions at Step 4. The promoted clubs will also be placed in a feeder pool and placed in the most geographically appropriate division at Step 3.

last season a much better chance....

But this season's squad would appear to have a better chance of initially sustaining a promotion challenge & football at a higher level.

It is true that we threw away a great chance last season. However, from what I have seen and heard we have assembled a very strong squad. Canvey arte 5-2 favs but I hear that they have a young and inexperienced squad. hornchurch will be up there as will the sides from the Eastern Counties. However, we will be there too and I have a very good feeling for the forth-coming season.

As we saw last year, the odds offered were a reflection of the weight of betting rather than anything connected with form, opportunity or expectation. I think Canvey's 0-11 against a spurs XI so far into their pre season is pretty telling in that regard.

[Mr Happy]

Well, I've got Town at 20-1, which I think are great odds.

All in all, it looks like there are some very good sides and we can look forward to a cracking season of good football. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
