The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

On the question of how many promoted. Hoddesdon were promoted last season after finishing third and I think considering how few teams in UCL Prem this season. At least one of Oadby and Eynesbury should have been given a place.

It's probably far too early for this question but I wonder how many of the top 8 teams will actually want promotion this season? Long Buckby obviously won't and Spalding will.

Would Huntingdon's ground qualify?

Comparing the UCL organisation to that of the SSML is like comparing the Wacky Races to an F1 Grand Prix. For example, the SSML managed to finish a 40 game season in their step 6 league by April 27 last season (and a 42 game season in their Step 5 league) - with all teams finishing at the same time.

yes

No, only one team gets promoted from the UCL prem.

One of the top 2 yes obviously depending on successful ground applications. It might not be impossible for 2 teams to be promoted from a step 5 league, 2 teams were promoted (Egham and Guernsey) from the Combined Counties Premier last season, though I'm not entirely sure why this was allowed, I assume another division had no eligible teams for promotion.

Last season divisions feeding the Isthmian League were allowed to promote 2 clubs due to that leagues expansion, that was for one season only and didn't affect the UCL anyway.

No Bob you are without doubt, Penelope Pitstop.
Just watched the highlights as missed game Saturday a Monday morning question for the Stato`s.
As a total number and percentage of total scored, headed goals last season compared with this :?:

I think its safe to say we didn't have anyone who scored eight headed goals in eight days last season.
