west bank.... how do you know this? do you knwo who the rest of the teams in division 2 will be?

If true, thats sh*t, AGAIN. Where is the encouragement to win the league or make sure you get 2nd? yes, its great if you do but as long as you do ok you will go up. Woolston worked their nuts off last year to finish 2nd, lads taking time off work etc when they could have got the ££ instead. 4th year on the bounce of rewarding mediocrity.

however, you need 12 teams a division...what do you want t happen when teams drop out?

Well we've suffered enough of it in the past few years! Maybe abit of karma!

My only motivation behind championing us to go up would be to get away from Cumbrian Div 3!

Fair enough but if teams drop out of Division 2 then thats shocking

Ha fair point! Although if Askam and Dalton are in thats 2 trips!

Can I just say we at Spring View haven't been told we got promotion to division 2 so don't know were this has come from

I know what you're saying, however i think we'll be glad to drop down a division to 3 for this season, new young team, we have quite a few 18's coming up, with a new coach so i think it'll stand us in good stead.

I promise Div 2, it's been a nightmare, you automatically know as Div 2 is full of a lot of A teams, if the 1st team has a free weekend the 2nd team gets flooded with 1st teamers and it's wrong.

I know you are supposedly only supposed to have 4 1st teamers but all teams play well over that, i promise at 1 point or another this year teams that play in Div 2 will see this.

I was just going off stuff that was apparently said at one of our meetings. Obviously wrong, apologies to you both, I only heard it second hand and shouldn't have put it on here really.

And I agree mate, not sure what will come of this 'merger' as I haven't heard anything apart from on here. But even then I think it will be too late to get back the players that are training at other teams.

We had some classic games against you men, first one I played in was the draw at our place a couple of years ago and I've played in them all since. Good memories of the first couple of games but I had shockers in both games last season. Good luck to you men next year.

Still no sign, I really do think we should know the make up of the divisions at least by now, especially when coaches want to arrange friendlies to get their team ready for the particular teams they may play against.

Im told it's been announced at the league meeting tonight. If anyone hears anything let us know!

Not sure about anyone else but NWC Div 5 is as follows:

Bolton Mets
Bury Broncos
Chorley Panthers
Crossfields A – up from Div 6
Eccleston Lions
Newton Storm
Rylands A – up from Div 6
St Helens Wild Boars
Westhoughton Lions
Widnes Tigers – down from Div 4
Wigan Bulldogs
Wigan St Cuthberts A – up from Div 6

Can't wait!!!!
