In response to a question Cult asked me as to how easy it is to return from the Evo Stick Premier League, it makes interesting reading to see how the clubs relegated from Conference North since 2011 have fared. An interesting point for the Chairman to follow is that two clubs have folded and re-surfaced as Community Teams, now that would really help with the MBE aspirations.

Anyway;

2011/12
Blyth.....................Evo Stick Northern Premier        Current position 1
Eastwood...............Black Dragon Division South      Current position 2  -  Eastwood died and now Eastwood Community FC

2012/13
Corby....................Evo Stick Northern Premier        Current position 21
Droylsden..............Evo Stick North Division 1          Current position 13
Hinckley................Midland League Division 1          Current position 4  -  Hinckley died and now AFC Hinckley community club

2013/14
Histon...................Evo Stick Soutern Central 1        Current position 21
Workington............Evo Stick Northern Premier        Current position 10

2014/15
Colwyn Bay............Evo Stick North Division 1          Current position 17
Leamingtom...........Evo Stick Southern Premier        Current position 2
Hyde.....................Evo Stick North Division 1          Current position 12

2015/16
Lowestoft...............Ryman Premier League               Current position 11
Hednesford.............Evo Stick North Division 1          Current position 11
Corby

It makes pretty grim reading and it's going to take an enormous effort to bounce back straight away, it appears that it's a lot easier to sink lower than the Glue Premier league than it is to return to Conference North. Blyth look like achieving it this season after five years in the wilderness and they don't have the same level of competition as us when it comes to trying to sign players.

Anyone thinks we are going to mount any sort of challenge in the clubs current state is kidding themselves. A few kids from
The youth team suplimenting a few journey men will simply not have any impact. The sooner we are officially relegated, hopefully by the time weve played bpa  or Salford away we can crack on with the task.
