UCL Premier Division travelling distances...

[Sid]

Wouldn't be totaly shocked if Loughborough University and Heather St John as well as Kirby Muxloe were switched from the MFA to the UCL, with Kempston Rovers and Newport Pagnell going to the South Midlands.

Attendances go up slightly as well, several teams with averages of over 100 this season and Wisbech if they move get crowds of 200-250 and some of the derbies like Shepshed-Quorn or some of the Lincolnshire derbies get decent crowds (for step 5 that is) as well, Hobeach-Spalding got 485. So a chance of a few teams bringing a handful of away fans and we should be able to see a few more home fans at away games for a change. Can't wait for the season to start!

What sort of distance / trvaling times warrent a coach?

As soon as the fixturers are released (which will be month at a time again) i will see which ones we can get my uncles bus to and submitt costs to the board.

I'd say over 40 miles and you could probably justify a coach. If the interest isn't there then fair enough but our away following this season suggests there would be. That would be:

Deeping Rangers
Kirby Muxloe
Spalding United
Wisbech Town
Holbeach United
Shepshed Dynamo
Quorn
Boston Town
Sleaford Town

I'd consider the coach for those as well. The only asterix I'd put in is that I'd probably go bt car to Shepshed because it is only minutes of the motorway

And the Vase and Cup away-days to the back of beyond... Northumberland, Cornwall etc.

UCL have tweeted that joining will be Woodford United, Lutterworth Athletic, St Neots Saints and Peterborough Sports.
That's one into the Premier (+ 1 out) and three into Division One. Wonder if they will offer Eynesbury promotion?

There was no mention of Kirby Muxloe transferring from the Midland Football Alliance.
Are St. Neots Saints connected with St. Neots Town?

Are St. Neots Saints connected with St. Neots Town?

I believe they are broadly a reserve team. Interesting move, but not without precedent.
