Looking at the predictions, are members predicting the winners and 4 playoff contenders for each division. There is only 1 relegation from step 5 this season and the bottom 3 of step 6 are liable for relegation’. NL1 winner Bishop Auckland NL1 playoffs Whitley Bay Heaton Stannington West Auckland Shildon NL1 Relegation Sunderland RCA NL2 winner Newcastle BS NL2 playoffs FC Hartlepool Horden CW Blyth Town Thornaby NL2 Relegation Zone Newcastle Uni Sunderland West End Jarrow Why only 1 relegated from step 5 Windy ? The restructure, which I assume was over. Will mean that all the step 4 leagues are going to increase their numbers up to 22 clubs per division. So next season only 2 clubs are going to be relegated from that step. So to keep step 5 numbers up, the FA have decided to reduce step 5 relegations to a single club per league. The following season will see 4 automatically relegated from each of the step 4 divisions and replaced by 2 from each of the step 5 leagues(qty 1 automatically and the other via playoffs). Although this 2 promotions is happening this season anyway.

I didn’t want create another thread. But on a non prediction question, does anyone know if North Shields have actually started developing their ground? Or have they done absolutely nothing and started tweeting about signing this player and that!

Edited: Just in case anyone is unaware, North Shields need to achieve the D Grade which they failed and were demoted for by the 31st March or they will be ineligible for promotion. So they don’t get a grace period for a season like any other club. So if they don’t achieve this by the 31st March, they won’t be promoted if they win the league and won’t also be eligible for the playoffs.

If north shields were to win the league would there promotion place go to second and similiar to if they were in the play offs, surely either a team gets a by whos drawn against them or 6 placed team takes part

I believe if several clubs are ineligible, then the playoffs will only go down to 7th spot.

Very little chance of Shields winning the league They have a chance when the current manager puts money in.

no way Yarm will go down. Lots of good young players and will finish top half.

All 3 this season have had decent starts and I can’t see any problems for all of them. Not looking good for Brandon with the recent shenanigans there. Apart from Brandon it’s anyone’s guess with a couple of clubs slogging it out at the bottom. There will be applicants from each of the feeder leagues once again. Alnwick have a great chance as I can only see them applying from Alliance so top 5 will do them. Love to see Leam Rangers get up this year , will have to win it to go up for sure as there are numerous clubs applying again. Don’t know about grangetown but they seem to be on track to apply.

Seems that Redcar have started to turn it around in Division One So they should with the resources and players they have signed. The manager must have been walking a tightrope.

Mind you....they do have Darryl Hall playing at the back in front of Goalkeeper Jack Norton - a complete recipe for disaster!!
