Well that is indeed a surprise. Unlucky Lymm fancying making amateurs travel to the South West every other week from banks of the Manchester Ship Canal 

That's a 5 point win for Thatbloke over PiffPaff. Well predicted mate.

I don't think that's allowed Oldman - otherwise they'd all be at it!

Not too sure what the answer would be in this situation, I know Leicester Lions were a tad miffed when they went south, travelling from east to far west, but I think it has actually the making of this side and going West last season wasn't too bad with a few Midland sides in as well. The irony is I think the Lions will be travelling less miles going into Nat 1 than they did last year.

Obviously I’m biased but no one seems to acknowledge the commitment from Redruth, whose 200 mile round trip to Exeter is their closest away game.

A great club and set up, with a deserved promotion this season. To get this is a real kick in the teeth. However the same would have been said if it was Chester or come to think of it the countless other clubs that have had to make this huge sacrifice over the years. This seems harsh but alas those are the protocols for league structures.  I just hope Lymm can withstand the shock. Good luck next season.  All the best  ST

Seems to be there's more hassle now than there ever was when there were just two leagues at level 4, but obviously the suits at HQ know best...

Overall, I think three leagues works better than two. I am still not convinced we need two layers of regional league. But we do need to look at the cups, the distances are two large to arrange in such a compressed schedule, and if we are going to have that many teams travelling nationally at short notice, they need more financial support.

Well they cannot get any less.
