Applications from Clubs in Step 7 Leagues
Thu 20th December 2018 | Announcements | By Ian Templeman
The League Management Committee would like to remind Step 7 clubs of the process that needs to be followed if they wish to submit an application to join our League in season 2019-20.
The Football Association will manage the promotion process for all clubs seeking promotion from Step 7 to Step 6 of the National League Systems.
To be considered eligible for promotion, any Step 7 wishing to apply clubs must submit their application to the FA by the 31st December 2018.
Applications received after this date will not be accepted, and clubs are reminded of the need to forward applications prior to the holiday period.
To be considered for promotion a club must finish in 1st position in their Step 7 competition at the conclusion of the current season.
If a club finishing in 1st position does not wish to be considered for promotion, or fails the entry criteria, then a club finishing in 2nd position may be considered.
If the club in 2nd position does not seek promotion, or fails to meet the entry criteria, then clubs down to 5th position may be considered for promotion provided that they meet the appropriate entry criteria.
Clubs finishing below 5th position will not be considered for promotion, and only a maximum of one club will be promoted from each Step 7 competition.
To be considered for promotion, a club must meet the required ground grading entry standard (Grading Category H) by 31st March 2019.
Clubs may be considered for promotion without having floodlights in place, but planning permission must have been approved by the local authority, and evidence of funding applications, quotations and an installation plan must be submitted with the application.
