Promotion From Step 7 To Step 6
Fri 16th December 2011 | General | By Ian Templeman
The League has received a communication from the FA National Leagues Manager Mike Appleby regarding the confirmation of arrangements for promotion from Step 7 to Step 6 leagues at the end of the current season.
The rules regarding the movement of clubs from Step 7 up to Step 6 are as follows.
Clubs wishing to be considered for promotion from Step 7 must advise the appropriate Step 6 league of their interest by 31 December 2011. They should also advise their current league at the same time.
In order to be promoted, clubs must finish in ‘top' position in their Step 7 league. If the club finishing in top position does not wish to be promoted or fails to meet the entry criteria, then the club finishing in 2nd position will be eligible for promotion. 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. This was agreed by the Leagues Committee at a recent meeting and will be incorporated into the Regulations.
Clubs finishing below 5th position will not be considered for promotion and ONLY ONE club will be considered from each league.
In order to be considered for promotion clubs must be in possession of Ground Grading Category H (which can be found at http://www.thefa.com/Leagues/NationalLeagueSystem/GroundGrading) by 31 March 2012.
Step 7 leagues are requested to notify their member clubs of these arrangements as soon as possible. We will require Steps 5/6 leagues to provide us with a list of those clubs that have applied by 13 January 2012. Any clubs not listed WILL NOT BE considered for promotion.
