Non League Football

15 games to go and 4 points shy of last year’s total. Home to Trafford on Saturday who are in 15th place.

Trafford we’re pre session favourites to go down, so surprised they’re doing okay.

Be a tricky play offs with Leek & Workington, but where you probably deserve to be.
 
Sorry if this has been asked, but I was looking at how far down the league system goes and seen that it goes down to the National League feeder leagues, so equivalent of Division 11 to 13 or so with the likes of the Liverpool Premier league or the West Lancashire football League.

So if the lowest FA football is Sunday League, are there stages of football that are in between Sunday League and those feeder leagues?

I'm not an expert but think the pyramid such as it is only goes down to step 10. The second division of the county leagues. Below that there is no direct promotion you have to apply I think.
Depends on ground suitability and budget etc.
This might have changed though.

From reading it, level 10 is the consistent cut off across the country.

There are feeder leagues to that level 10 in some County FAs where you have to finish top 5 and meet certain ground criteria.

Whether you have to enter Level 10 via those feeder leagues I don't know. I'm guessing it's up to the individual County FAs.

One feeder League is the West Lancashire football league with 3 divisions in it, so they are Level 11 to 13. Euxton Villa were promoted from level 11 to 10 last season. I think they had to install a small stand to meet the necessary criteria.

What confuses me though is Leagues like the Mid Lancashire football league which sounds like the equivalent to the West Lancs fl, only the Mid Lancs isn't a feeder league?

Some of the teams there have a great set up and have been going for 50 to 100 years, so they're more than Sunday league surely? Yet they're not in the feeder leagues, so I'm thinking that there must be a stage in between?

I suppose it depends on the clubs ambition perhaps?
 

Went to Marine today, where a certain Head of Communications for Everton was spotted…

Not like we haven’t got anything we need to communicate, at the moment, is it?

Marine conceded an 88th minute equaliser and drew 1-1. Not quite big Dunc-Esque.
 
Physical capacity yes, but a safety certificate for only c3500. Average gate just over 1000 though a couple of seasons ago they got 3500 for a League game with Torquay and that felt pretty full.
I saw Bristol rovers there once and there must have been 5000 there but it was packed. Not the safest feeling as I recall.
