Apparently Met Police are not listed so I guess they will be in the South and Kings Langley in the Central. Unofficial predictions on NLM were pretty good with the exception that Bishops Stortford weren’t put in the Central.

Clubs have seven days to appeal
I would expect either Kings Langley or Bishops Stortford to appeal and ultimately swap places.

Can't see either of those two appealing. Would King's Langley really want to be in the Premier South with the likes of Truro, Tiverton, Taunton, Dorchester etc? I imagine they're delighted.

Bishop Stortford didn't want to move anyway.

Well said BartonRaz, I 100% agree with you, Kings Langley would have also had Merthyr and Poole, I think Kings Langley this league would would suit them more, a being in it previous seasons and b, having, less time on the road in this league.

Going on from other seasons, Bishop Stortford didn't want to move.

I think it's nice having them in the league instead of Bishop Stortford,

Stortford get most upset at any suggestion that they might be transferred out of the M25 league, so I was kind of hoping they would be put in our division :biggrin:
Don't know how KL feel about being moved, but I would have thought they'd be happy with it. Not so sure it's nice having them in the league Mike, given what happened last time we played there!

Kings Langley on a Tuesday night would be fixture of the season for me, small set up but the local takeaway makes the best king prawn omelettes.

Lets have a cup run so the Saturday game is moved to a Tuesday or Wednesday so i can get me king prawn omelette and 3 points would make it even better.

If only you could buy a king prawn omelette at the club on match days :)
  • Play it out from the back.
  • 1 up front.
  • Man gets one good result via a new manager bounce and thinks he's Pep Guardiola.
Michael Harriman Out! 💎

King’s Langley have appealed, but not because they want to go back in to the Southern League, they want to be in the Isthmian League instead.

Problem is geographically there’s about 5 clubs closer to the Isthmian region than them. :fool:

There’s always one club that that gets messed about when these allocations are released by the FA. Last year it was Banbury United this year it’s Kings Langley.
Unfortunately there will always be clubs on the edge of a designated area as we found out a few seasons back when we went ‘north’.
