No Retford United yet? Too far down the pyramid. I only go as far down as step 5 but it looks like Retford will be promoted, so they'll be on next season's list.

Cheers on the retford united info mate, thought they'd feature soon with another promotion, tis good to see the badgers climbing the pyramid! Barry used to be the giants of Welsh football but they ran into serious financial problems and finished bottom of the Welsh Premier 2 years ago, having won it the previous season. I think John Fashanu was involved somewhere along the line. Since then, they've consolidated in the Welsh Football League, one of two second tier divisions in Wales.

How come there's one less team in Northern Ireland? And finally, a change of championship winner in some league The league's been retained in each of the 6 biggest countries... and Wales. Change in Scotland, too, but still one of the Old Firm...

Do you compile this yourself mrh, or find it elsewhere, it's an interesting read, sad at the ones at the top that have gone, hornchurch was blowing too much money, shame about exmouth Lovely beaches. I find it interesting that Harrogate Railway have gone down, 346-361 and yet they finished the highest they have ever been and are promoted, I dont get it. And I'm sure that retford United are in the league below them, so should feature on here somewhere? I hear Altrincham have been relegated instead of Tamworth now as well.

And I'm sure that retford United are in the league below them, so should feature on here somewhere? I hear Altrincham have been relegated instead of Tamworth now as well. The list is based on this season's league tables but I compile the overall position. Where there is more than one division at one step of the pyramid (basically everything below the Conference) I use points per game to determine each team's position. Harrogate Railway finished in the same position as last season but their points per game were actually slightly lower which is why they've dropped a few places overall. However, because of the creation of a new division in the Ryman League at step 4, there are a lot more step 5 clubs being promoted this season and Harrogate Railway are one of those going up. They'll be in Division 1 of the Unibond League next season. As I explained last week, the fact that Retford are in the league below Harrogate Railway is why they're not on the list as I only go as far down as step 5. They've been promoted so they'll be a new entry on next season's list, as will FC United of Manchester, the club set up by Man U fans in protest at the Glazer takeover. They have gained promotion to Division 1 of the North West Counties League. And yes, Altrincham's appeal against their points deduction has failed and they have been relegated. Tamworth were already safe though due to Canvey Island resigning from the Conference and it is Scarborough who keep their place as a result of Altrincham's relegation. Canvey Island are dropping 3 leagues to Division 1 North of the Ryman League.

Canvey Island's situation hasn't affected the final table, though...
