FA defer nonleague decisions
THE Football Association's League Systems committee met on Thursday (May 14) but have deferred making many decisons on next year's non-league structure until May 26 due to the number of clubs in financial trouble, administration or facing points deductions.
Although Colwyn Bay are expected to stay in Unibond Divison One North, they will have to wait a little longer for confirmation of that.
One controversial decision that has been made, however, is placing Gloucester City in the Blue Square North after they won the British Gas Business Southern League Premier Divison play-offs, while Worcester City - geographically north of Gloucester, stay in Blue Square South. It means Gloucester face huge journeys to the likes of Blyth Spartans and Work
News is still awaited on Newcastle Blue Star's situation although there is speculation now that they never had any intention of moving up to the Unibond Premier Division due to their financial situation. If that is true, then the decision to go through with the sham of the play-offs and deny Colwyn Bay and Curzon Ashton a chance to go up will leave a bitter taste if Blue Star do, as predicted, drop back into the Northern League.
