That's very true. Out of interest how many UCL Premier clubs, apart from St. Neots, have moved on to higher leagues over the last few years?
Looking at the UCL Champions for the past 30 or so seasons, there aren't many ..

Season Team Current League
1980–81 Stamford - Northern Premier Div One South
1981–82 Stamford - Northern Premier Div One South
1982–83 Irthlingborough Diamonds - Defunct
1983–84 Buckingham Town - United Counties Division One
1984–85 Arlesey Town - Southern Premier
1985–86 Buckingham Town - United Counties Division One
1986–87 Potton United - United Counties Division One
1987–88 Spalding United - United Counties Premier
1988–89 Potton United - United Counties Division One
1989–90 Holbeach United - United Counties Premier
1990–91 Bourne Town -United Counties Division One
1991–92 Northampton Spencer - United Counties Premier
1992–93 Rothwell Town - United Counties Division One
1993–94 Rothwell Town - United Counties Division One

1995–96 Raunds Town - United Counties Division One
1996–97 Stamford - Northern Premier Div One South
1997–98 Stamford - Northern Premier Div One South
1998–99 Spalding United - United Counties Premier
1999–00 Ford Sports Daventry - Now Daventry United (UCLP)
2000–01 Boston Town - United Counties Premier
2001–02 Ford Sports Daventry - Now Daventry United (UCLP)
2002–03 Holbeach United - United Counties Premier
2003–04 Spalding United - United Counties Premier
2004–05 Cogenhoe United - United Counties Premier
2005–06 Woodford United - Southern Division One Central
2006–07 Deeping Rangers - United Counties Premier
2007–08 Stotfold - Spartan South Midlands Prem
2008–09 Stewarts & Lloyds Corby - United Counties Premier

The notable success story is Stevenage (Borough), who were in the UCL in the early 1980's before transferring to the Isthmian League.

Rothwell Town, Buckingham Town and Spalding United were all promoted and spent quite a few years at a higher level. Rothwell and maybe Buckingham? were further promoted to the Southern Premier.

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.

Just been reading the bit about this in the ET - I don't like the sound of local teams having to merge with teams from Suffolk and Norfolk. I hope there are other alternatives being considered as that just seems crazy.

I see that the UCL is very competitive.

Kempston Rovers are beating Yaxley 8-1 and it's only half-time! :shock:

Reported on Twitter. :oops:
Someone must have been having a bit of fun. :twisted:

EDIT - Graham Yapp has just apologised for posting that score. He meant 0-1 of course! TwoHundredPercent who re-tweeted didn't spot the error. :?
