I have already appealed it just gotta wait till the new year to see what comes of it.

It should really be defined and stuck to the relegation/promotion 2 up 2 down then everyone knows where they stand. I think the league is still trying to find it's natural order since moving to summer hence allowing team in some circumstances move up or down.

I think there will be to many free weeks with only 10 teams but my understanding is that this could change to 12 following the management meeting last night.

The final structures along with fixtures should be out by next Friday so we shall soon know!!

Seems an easy way to get West Bank in premier and Hindpool in division 1 whilst not having to punish anyone else to do it? Plus wonder if the all but collapse of the winter league has seen some late applications?

New proposal is 4 leagues of 12 and an entry league which currently has 15 teams listed

West bank are in the prem this season we received a email this morning

The new structure looks a lot better, at least from ours and West Banks perspective

Are you sure it's 4 and not 5 leagues of 12? As means 12 clubs have dropped out of draft lineups (possible I guess)

Yes he meant 5 (Prem, 1-4) of 12 teams in each and an entry division as well made up of 15. 75 teams in total

Well spotted. I don't usually wake up till Wednesday

Final league structure just released to clubs. Few small changes

Portico drop to division 2, swapping with Wild Boars being the one which affect my club. Couple of others further down the leagues and 18 in the merit league

In NWML 3, Accrington have disappeared, Chester down to 4, with Pilks A and Saddleworth A in.

Saddleworth A gave 7 of their last 10 games in div 3 away last season.
Pilks A also gave 7 of their last 10 games away in div 2.

Poor decision by NWML IMO.

Accrington are in 2 now apparently.
