They will go into either:

Southern League Division 1 Central

Northern Premier League Division 1 South

Both are at Step 4. The UCL Premier is at Step 5.
Northern league division 1 south, that's what I meant, that's what I read on plops forum, as someone posted a spreadsheet of the ups and downs. Either way they will probably face relegation again :D

I went to watch K*ttering against St Neots last week.

The football was atrocious, the crowd was atrocious, and the atmosphere was dead. Fair play to those that continue to go they deserve credit IMO and I genuinely mean that. It's the same club in name, badge and kit only.

Anyway, we'd beat them quite comfortably there's no doubt in my mind. They had one or two decent players, Ben Ford (I think) was a cut above the rest, although Will Muzvimbri was their most dangerous player and he played against us for BPW back in February.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

And judged on that performance he wouldn't get in our squad IMHO. Apparently he has also been called 'Blazio' as in 'over the bar'. :)

That says it all really as to how poor their squad is, yet they've managed to win 3 games in a row, perhaps the gap between southern prem level and UCL isn't a big as one would expect.

I did notice a slight increase in quality of football compared to UCL Division 1 when I saw Bedford play St Neots in that league on boxing day, but it would be very interesting to see how our current team would do in the SP, surely we'd do no worse than K*ttering?!

Not from me - it's those who continued to go throughout who moaned against any form of protest all along. It's those who still go who have the most blood on their hands for the lingering death of the club. No sympathy or respect to them from me at all.

Wouldn't be surprised if we signed him along the line given our record of signing ex RDFC-youth 8-)
