The best team in the league usually go up as Champions.
The other Clubs in N2N will usually occupy the position they deserve.
Jonny might be a good judge of previous Champions having been beaten by them and by this season's Champions elect.
Good luck to Caldy.

With first place wrapped up, who's going to make the playoff?

I'm going with Fylde.

Can't see past any of the top three in South not being champions or runners up. Leicester are having a great season, but they're still a little bit off the pace set by the top three.

Assuming Lions don't go up, do they transfer back to N2N for next season?

Last season Caldy were at the top of National 1 for a period of what I think were 5 or 6 weeks and then a raft of injuries saw them go on a long losing run. They turned it all around at the back end of the season when they got their players back from injury but it was all fractionally too late to keep them up. The same could happen this season. They have a run of very tough games coming up Lucs (away), Hull (h), Otley (a) Sedge (h) Fylde (a) Sedge (a) If Caldy win all of those they will be pretty much there ..................but that is a very big if!

Sport is a funny thing, so you're right, it's not outside the realms of possibility that it could all go Pete Tong.

But from what I've seen I think it's unlikely Caldy will implode to lose the title, even with an injury crisis I think they've done enough to finish top.

I stand by what I said earlier in the season, if anyone are going to get a result against Caldy this season it's going to be Sedge.

Erm Hello !!!!

Still some big weeks to go ,in feb we have Sedge Fylde and then Sedge again .Lucs have pulled a few surprises.No one at Caldy thinks its anywhere near won yet and we have been lucky so far with no major injury worries but we all know how that can change.Its tougher at the top ,everybody wants to topple the leaders.Ourselves Fylde and Sedge will be filling top 3 places.

Lucs have been unlucky in a few close games this year - at home against Chester and Hinckley spring to mind. The points from those two games alone would see them sitting comfortably in the top half of the table now.

I think Lucs will be safe though, and if things begin to click for the team they'll be up in the mix next year.

Scunny are down, and I think Hoppers will follow them. The last place could be contested by a few teams, which will keep things interesting.

I'm not condemning you, it's just my opinion.

For all I know, we could end up dropping down 🤷‍♂

When a club have been level transferred, they have the option of returning to their original league after one season. Almost all do so - Sandbach are the only club I can recall who have opted to stay where they were sent, hence the reason that they are still in Midlands Premier as opposed to their real home in the north. Lions will almost certainly opt to go back to N2N next season. Apart from anything else, the travelling will be much cheaper. The same club cannot be level transferred again for (I think, although it may be 3 ) 5 years.
