Good idea.
I know Bishop want to get promoted, but has Shildon said the same thing? If the NL are losing two teams, then in theory two teams will get relegated to the NL, but where will they come from? I'd imagine the geographical area of the NL will have to be increased in order to accommodate these two sides?
Shildon recently installed a new stand before Xmas on the Brown St side of the ground. There Chairman has stated they are looking to progress in the future

The Premier League through the Football Stadia Improvement Fund ( FSIF), the largest funder of non-league football in this country, recently announced a grant of £57,027 to Shildon AFC
The grant will enable the Club to build a new 200 seated stand, providing much needed accommodation to enhance spectator experience.
The project will see the building of a purpose built stand to replace the upper seated section of the existing stand. The project which is being undertaken by Vest Construction and Stadium Solutions is due to commence on September 17 with completion due before Christmas.
Funded with £5.2m each year from the Premier League, the FSIF is the country’s largest provider of grants towards projects that help improve the comfort and safety of lower league football grounds in both the professional and amateur game. These improvements range from new football stands and turnstiles to floodlighting and improved provision for disabled supporters.
David Dent, Chairman of Shildon AFC said ” thanks to the support of the Premier League through the FSIF, we can now offer our supporters and the wider community a much improved experience when they come to the game. Shildon AFC prides itself on being a true community focused football club and the improved facilities will not only benefit supporters watching our first team but also all of those who attend Academy games and our Development Centre days. This is an important milestone for the Club and hopefully will be the catalyst for further improvements to the ground as we seek to go as far as we can up the pyramid ”[/quote]
I dont if Shildon want it yet, but they are certainly planning for it
Personally I would like to see ambitious teams come up, even if it means taking 2 who dont finish in, say, the top 5.
Only other teams I can think of in the NL who have ambition after them is Stockton Town and possibly Consett
