So NPL Midland Division - pleased with that. Some new clubs and a real chance to get in the mix for promotion.

Re: 2023/24 Non League Allocations
I know that Chris wasn't bothered about where we ended up and to the best of my knowledge, this doesn't affect his ability to either retain or attract, so let's just get on with it and enjoy it.
A tougher league? Probably, but it's a bit more exciting. There's 10 new grounds in there for us and loads of new teams we haven't faced before.

Re: 2023/24 Non League Allocations
With the exception of a couple of teams, perhaps Lye Town and Walsall Wood, there are some cracking grounds for that level in the NPL Midlands. Some are easily Step 3 standard, a couple even Step 2. It’s a shame Cambridge City’s new ground isn’t complete yet, but St Ives’ will do! I was hoping we would be placed in the southern league at first, but on reflection… what’s not to like about the NPL Midlands? If Chris isn’t bothered that the league is ‘slightly tougher’ then why should we? It’s a fun challenge. There are so many positives. Higher gates, local derbies, new away days etc just to name a few. On top of that, a lot of the grounds have artificial pitches, which will help with fixture congestion in the winter. Although we might need a minimally larger playing budget, there should surely be a lot more revenue being generated from being in the NPL Midlands opposed to the southern league. I have to say, I’m bloody excited!

I though Cambridge were sharing with St Ives?, looking forward to new teams and new places to visit, I think it will be tougher, but lets see how it goes

Some familiar names from the early days of the old club. Bedworth United, Cambridge City, Corby Town, Gresley Rovers, Hinckley LR (Previously Hinkley United?), Rugby Town (known as VS Rugby back then), Sutton Coldfield Town.
Excited to get started!

Sort of. Hinkley LR are formerly Leicester Road FC. They play at Hinckley United's old ground which is a fantastic facility, very similar to Hednesford's Keys Park. I'm not sure they could rightfully be called the same club, though.
