I guess not since ground grading deadline isn't until 31st March.

Didn't think there was much difference between steps 3 and 4, so I guess everyone.

Anyway Latimer Park is OK, and apparently for step 2 as well :ermm:

So Formic if a team finishing in the top 5 of our division doesn't want to go up, they simply tell the league of their intention and are omitted from the play off process?

Nope, wouldn't bother me in the slightest TBH. Of course I want us to win every game but I won't be disappointed if we don't win the playoffs.

Another season in this league would probably do us good, building the squad up so it can compete well at Step 3 in the first season, rather than being in a relegation fight.

I don't know how the process works at this level. There doesn't seem to be a published list of applicants like there was at Step 5.

One might assume that the ground gradings are also carefully factored in to any decisions about league constitutions, starting with the eligiblity to enter the playoffs, but at we saw with the farce with Clevedon Town being booted out of the league as late as June last year its clear the ground grading process isnt well policed either.
