Unless im missing something, noboby has really mentioned the fall out from chester's demise, on next season! Surely the league cant continue with 23 clubs, hopefully this wont affect us but its an intresting point??

We have 24 teams next year. Basically Chester getting kicked out will be the same as them getting relegated this year, doesn't have any knock on effect on next season except for Chester needing to get accepted in another league (if they still exist).

arr ok, i see Surely that will just create problems for the BS N/S then, as they wont recieve a club (Chester) Plus chester are trying to get into the Welsh premier anyway

One less team will be relegated from the BSN and this will continue all the way down the football pyramid, until the lowest division (step 9/10) will be left with an odd number of teams or Chester start from the bottom
