Maps & Lists for 2008/09 season

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

The maps and lists below are based on the following assumptions and are my guess at what it could look like. The final decision will be made by the FA Leagues committee after the end of the season.

Now that there will not be any clubs moving up from the NL, it makes it more difficult to increase the size of the NP1 divisions without transferring teams from the SL1M. I have shown two versions of how step 4 could look - one with 2x20 team divisions in the NPL area and one with 2x22 team divisions. The assumptions made for the 2x22 version are shown further down the page.

Assumptions

  • Final league positions as at 29th April 2008. 

  • Promotion/relegation works as detailed here

  • Playoff details here.

  • Highest team left in playoffs promoted.

  • Retford United (NP1S champions) will not be promoted as their ground is not of the required standard. Instead the 2nd placed club will be promoted automatically and the 3rd -6th placed clubs will play off for the remaining promotion place. 

  • There will be 128 clubs - 22 in each IL and SL division and 20 in the NPL divisions.

  • Edgware Town have resigned from IL1N and Ilford will be reprieved

  • Cambridge City have been demoted from FCS and Weston Super Mare will be reprieved. 

  • The bottom teams in NP1S and NP1N will be reprieved (Spalding United as Alsager Town failed to meet required ground grade and will be relegated) and Bridlington Town (to increase numbers in the NPL) 

  • No teams will move up from the Northern League.

  • 2 teams will move up from the North West Counties (Trafford & Salford City) as one team (Alsager Town) has been relegated to them from NP1S for not meeting the required ground grade.

  • 2 teams will move up from the Midland Football Alliance (Atherstone Town and Loughborough Dynamo). 

  • 1 team will move up from the Northern Counties East (Glapwell).

  • A further 9 champion clubs will move up from the 10 other step 5 leagues. Crowborough Athletic (SxL), Merstham (CCL), Concord Rangers (ESL), Soham Town Rangers (ECL), North Leigh (HL), AFC Totton (WxL), Truro City (WL), Thamesmead Town (KL) and Beaconsfield SYCOB (SSM). This is convenient as all step 5 champion clubs move up.

  • This means 14 clubs moving up to step four with 8 teams being relegated. A net increase of six, four to increase the numbers from 2x18 to 2x20 in the NP1s, and two to fill the gaps in the NPP and SL1M which ahve operated with only 21 clubs in 2007/08.

  • List of clubs that have applied to move up from step 5 to step 4 here. Shows those that have achieved step 4 grading requirement.

To get to 6x22 divisions, we need 4 extra teams. I have assumed these four would be Slough Town (SL1SW), Wivenhoe Town (IL1N), Horsham YMCA (IL1S) and Berkhamsted Town (SL1M)
