Good to see Halifax back into the Conference North, be good if Fc United of Manchester followed them through the playoffs as well. Be nice if Chester could grab the automatic promotion, and at least retford united are back to the level they should be at, and is the level of their ground.

Poole Town have now won the Wessex League Premier for three seasons in a row. This year they expect to be able to go up as the ground has passed the inspection. They also have planning permission to develop a new ground after many years of trying.

Coalville won the Midland Alliance with 100 points. However, they only won it on goal difference as Tipton also got 100 points. Coalville's goal difference was a phenomenal +100, well ahead of Tipton on a "mere" +69.

How long until Cornwall gets its first League representative? Think the Truro experiment has been going on for quite a while now.

Nice to see Halifax Town getting promoted for the 2nd year in succession after going out of business a few years ago. The ground is definitely worthy of league 2 status !!

The Shay is now an amazing ground, especially for non league!

Bradford City fans were suggesting that, if they have to leave Valley Parade temporarily, they would rather move to The Shay and share with Halifax Town than move to Odsal Stadium, The Shay being a proper football ground and being close enough to Bradford.

They moved to Odsal for a while after the Bradford City fire. It's a dump and hasn't changed much over the years !!

Is Odsal where Bradford Park Avenue play? And why would Bradford have to leave their ground? They're not getting booted out are they? Truro's rise is impressive, but their owner's company went bust with debts of 4.5m, so you do wonder how long they can carry on, and the costs involved in their travelling must be HUGE! I hope they survive, am assuming they need to sort the ground out at some point as it's only 3500 capacity, there is talk of moving, but no new ground is being built at the moment...

I'm not aware of Bradford getting booted and I hear most things when I travel round West Yorks with work. Odsal are where Bradford Bulls play. BPA play at the Horsfall stadium which is an Athletics / Football area. There are plans apparently to share with the Bulls sometime in the future !!!

You certainly have plenty of stadiums around the city!

The FA has released a document showing the proposed club allocations for steps 1-4 next season.
The document featuring the following moves/changes:
Burscough are reprived at step 3.
Glapwell and Retford United have both resigned from the Evo-Stik League and drop down top step 5, meaning Beaconsfield SYCOB and Waltham Forest are both reprieved at step 4. Atherstone Town would have been reprieved, but have resigned from the Southern League anyway.
Chatham Town are also reprieved at step 4.
Almondsbury Town have left the Southern League, meaning Andover are reprieved at step 4.
Ilkeston, a newly-formed replacement club for Ilkeston Town have been placed in the Northern Premier League Division 1 South, at step 4.
The rumoured appearance of Guernsey in the Southern League doesn't appear to have materialised.
All step 5 champions have been promoted to step 4 except Guildford City, Wantage Town, Spennymoor Town and Larkhall Athletic. Combined Counties runners-up Chertsey Town have been promoted to step 4.

Poor Retford United, I thought they had done enough with their ground to be at Unibond div 1 level, so what league do they go into, is it the central midland, real shame, but I always thought they rose too fast
