York City

[HarryCharltonsCat]

Welcome York. Good away day guaranteed.

[darlo reborn]

With the stupid NL they will probably put them in the south LOL!!!!!

[Darlo_Pete]

Yep York away is always a great day out. Wonder is they'll stay full-time or go part-time?

[The Quaker]

We will probs play them on boxing days or new years day.

Not to mention welcome also to Blyth, North Ferriby and Southport. Given these are all reasonably Northern, we could expect one of the other more southerly clubs to swap over to VN South. Should make travelling a bit easier.

Big question is, would we really want Spenny to win and come up too? You bet we do!!

One last push this season, let's stick it to Salford and make the FA rue their stupid rulebook.
C'mon Darlo!

Bit gutted they stuffed us, but must have been very hard for our lads to be up for it.

Well done, Spennymoor. Hope your ground is up to VNN rules!

Not if Spennymoor get promoted today, they would be nailed on Boxing day/New Year day matches (weather permitting obviously )

[Darlo_Pete]

Spennymoor are apparently winning 1-0.

[SwansQuaker83]

August Bank holiday please

More likely Blyth v Spennymoor and us v York.

I second that, with Spenny and Blyth over Xmas

They must be gutted, staying up until a last minute equaliser from Guiseley, that's football.

Three northern teams relegated from NL, only one southern team. They’ve got to move Gloucester to NLS now, surely. The most ridiculous allocation of a team in a regional league I can think of (although Oxford City playing in NLN a couple of years ago comes close.) Brackley could be a contender to move across too.

Why would they need to move anyone yet, we have gained 5 teams (North Ferriby, Southport, York, Spenny & Blyth and will lose 5 teams (Worcestor City, Stalybridge, Altrincham, Fylde & Play Off Winner).

All depends on the Southern League Final on Monday which is Leamington v Hitchin Town. Leamington will most likely to move in the North but not sure if Hitchin Town would replace say Gloucester City.

I didn’t mean *now* as in today, superles, rather that the FA would now have the chance to do so when they do the allocations (in July if memory serves), as I was thinking that three northern teams coming down from NL to NLN left the division with one too many teams as only two were going in the opposite direction. But yes, I'd forgotten about teams moving the other way, south to north e.g. Leamington, from parallel leagues.

No worries, at the moment we have lost 2 going up but gained 3 coming down, however this is balanced by 3 going down and only 2 coming up at the moment.

The Southern League may send 1 to us but may not and the Ryman Premier certainly won't. Basically these two leagues are very Southern hence the FA contemplating a midlands league at Step 3 and 2 at Step 4.

[biccynana]

Didn’t know that was in the offing. Sounds sensible.

(That’s got to be a collector’s item: FA and sensible together.)

Seems to have been discussed for a while and talked about around the NL committees. Rumour it may go ahead for season 18/19 but it may even just be canned.

They're staying full-time for at least one season.

Bishop Storford in the North a few year back comes close too

Some great games to look forward to next year.

Also, it'll be good for attendances. I'm sure Blyth, Spen and York will all up the local interest level, so hopefully lead to some good crowds.

Indeed. Good call. Funnily enough Gloucester and Stortford are equally far south (i.e. same line of latitude) with Brackley only a fraction further north. Oxford is the furthest south of the four.

[shildonlad]

Been some crazy travel in nln. Also didn't lowestoft play at thst level for a year? Was even rumours one year of Wealdstone been moved to nln

[Emdubya]

LOWERSTOFT AND WEADLESTONE .Cant find either on the map.

[don'tbuythesun]

Imagine if Dover came down...what a trip!

Ha ha. Amended post

[Darlobaz79]

Leamington won 2-1 meaning they will probably be NLN at the expense of Gloucester or Brackley (my closest game..grr!)

[jjljks]

Aren't York getting a new ground? Perhaps we could groundshare
?? LOL

[Darlo_Pete]

I don't think they have even started it yet. The new ground is part of as new entertainment hub I believe and they will be sharing their new ground with the York City Knights Rugby League team.

If you think of N as being North & West and S as being South & East then I actually wonder if Brackley move to the south division before Gloucester.

If you took a 'midpoint' longitude and latitude of all clubs competing at Step 2 I wonder where that would actually be (most northern, most southern, most eastern, most western). Wouldn't surprise me if it was around Milton Keynes somewhere.
