Provided we make it through tomorrow, i'm guessing that this would be the line-up for the Zamaretto Premier next season. If we're accepted of course:

AFC Totton
Arlesey Town
Banbury United
Barwell
Bashley
Bedford Town
Brackley Town
Cambridge City
Chesham United
Chippenham Town
Cirencester Town
Evesham United
Frome Town
Hemel Hempstead Town
Hitchin Town
Leamington
Oxford City
Redditch United
Rushden & Diamonds
Stourbridge
Swindon Supermarine
Weymouth

Currently the only space is in the Ryman Premier now that Thurrock have been reprieved, so the closest team to the greater London/ Essex area from the Zamaretto will probably get shifted (if that's possible?!) I've worked on the basis that that will be St Albans. Given that Uxbridge (near Heathrow) are in the Zamaretto, I guess that rules out Chesham from a shift.

I think you are underestimating the standard of the Zamaretto League.

IF we are in the Zamaretto Prem, I know a handful of former BSP/BSS players that would be interested. Two have already approached me about it.
names of these players..

Looking at the map of that proposed league it looks quite nice, all shortish trips, no Barrows. :D

Apart from Weymouth! ;)

I wouldn't relish the prospect of playing Evesham again after last time. :(

At least this time losing to them wouldn't be a big deal. ;)

Frome is a fair hike. Looking on the internet their ground is appalling.

There is also AFC Totton which is near Southampton, and Bashley which is down that way.

That would hardly be fair given that at least one of them is still on the books of their club.
