Non-league 12:23 - Sep 11 with 1445 views | Sharkey | Well I could no doubt look this up for myself, but any of the Suffolk clubs showing signs of great things this season? | | | | |
Non-league on 12:32 - Sep 11 with 1399 views | Clapham_Junction | Mildenhall's league record so far is P5 W5. Still too early in some leagues (the Isthmian North Division is still only three games in). I suspect Sudbury are probably going to get relegated - being moved from the Isthmian League to the Southern League meant several of the players based south of the town didn't want to continue playing (supposedly not helped by a big budget cut despite getting promoted). The same thing happened last time the club were transferred from the Isthmian to the Southern League, and it took years to recover. The FA really need to introduce fixed boundaries IMO, so clubs keep playing in the same footprint and have certainty from season-to-season which league they'll be playing in. | | | |

Do clubs ever decline promotion when they find out what league they've been put in? | | | |

That's a ground I've been meaning to visit for as long as I can remember. | | | |

Not sure if declining is an option, but Sudbury would surely have seen it coming, given that Leiston, Needham Market etc are in the Southern Central | | | |

In the local league near me (I can't remember who now) there is a team who is regularly near the top and occasionally wins the league but doesn't actually.go.up. I doubt it's something stopping them so I'm guessing they don't want to? | | | |

One or two clubs have backed out over the years, but I seem to recall reading that the FA recently made promotion compulsory (down to step 6), and if you don't take promotion, you are demoted. | | | |

A bit further South but my old team before moving to the big smoke Heybridge Swifts I think are above them on goal difference? A terrific little club and probably another you could visit Sharkey if you haven't within easy striking distance. | |
