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 Central Midlands is down at step 7. I'm guessing it'll be whichever one they came up from a few years ago. Northern Counties East?

That means Retford and Marske will be at the same level next season! Could meet in the FA Vase!

Nice I shall check their history, I'm not good on the levels once you get out of the evo stick.

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 remember over on Tony Kempster's forum the discussion about Truro and it could implode if anything happened to the owner or his company..But why would they need to upgrade their ground? 3500 seems impressive for Conf S! Maidenhead's holds 2000 i think and their average attendance is prob around 250! The only time that i know of that they've come close to that is an FA Cup game. There was talk a few years ago of moving, but the problem with them is that they couldn't find a suitable location.

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. With Guildford not being promoted Herne Bay tried to get promoted in their place but were told only 1 club from each step 5 league is allowed to go up. Rather a fanciful idea really, thought the place would go to the runners up.

There was talk a few years ago of moving, but the problem with them is that they couldn't find a suitable location. 2000 capacity seems standard for pretty much any non-league club. At most grounds, you could probably get about 1500 stood around the perimeter railing, a bit more if there's any terracing/seating. Marske's record crowd is over 1300 for an FA Vase quarter-final in 2001. Minimum requirements for the Football League are a capacity of 4000 with at least 500 seats, rising to 5000 with at least 1000 seats by the end of the first season. That must rise to 2000 seats within three years. I believe the same requirements may be in place for the Blue Square Premier (in order to cut out instances of clubs winning the league and not being promoted).
