Northern Counties East League : 2011/12 Season	Can't Post or Reply Privately

PROPOSED LEAGUE CONSTITUTION REVEALED

The Northern Counties East League has today published its proposed constitution for the 2011/12 season.
Teams leaving the league are Premier Division champions Farsley AFC who have been promoted into the EvoStik League whilst Division One side Leeds Carnegie tendered their resignation towards the end of the last campaign.
We wish both clubs the very best of luck for the future.
Currently, it is proposed that four teams are brought into the NCEL with two coming from the EvoStik League, Retford United and Ossett Albion, into our Premier Division.
Central Midlands League champions Sheffield Parramore would be promoted into our league and become a Division One side but they will be called Worksop Parramore due to their move to Sandy Lane.
And, Albion Sports would come into the league from the West Riding County Amateur League.
That would mean that each division would consist of 21 teams and look as follows:

NORTHERN COUNTIES EAST LEAGUE
PROPOSED LEAGUE CONSTITUTION 2011/12
(Subject to alteration)

PREMIER DIVISION
1. Armthorpe Welfare
2. Arnold Town
3. Barton Town Old Boys (...from Division One)

20. Worsbrough Bridge Athletic
21. Yorkshire Amateur

We will advise on any further changes or additions to the proposed constitution should they arise over the coming days.
Clubs will then vote on the proposal at the League AGM on Saturday 18th June and the new season will begin on Saturday 6th August.

...as far as I am aware, yes, they'll be playing at Horsfall Stadium (home of BPA).

Was there no way that Brodsworth could have gone to a more appropriate level? I'm not an insider, so i don't know how this all works when the doors close and the room fills with smoke (so bear with me!). Just wondered about this as it surely can't be good for the club to go through another season here can it?

I think Albion are going to upgrade their ground at Myra Shay in the future, I don't they plan to stay at Horsfall long term.

I reckon this is mostly to do with the Enfield grading problem, 'coz Ossett Albion will be reprieved from relegation should Enfield become rejected for Step4 football.

Apparantly, the BPA 'sugar Daddy' Bob Blackburn is unable to fund the development of the new ground in the current economic climate, so the plans are on hold for the time being.

Just as well, in my opinion, as who wants to watch football being played in a ground that (at best) can only attract a crowd to fill 10% of its (rumoured 20,000) capacity? All it would take is for the sugar Daddy to walk away and BPA probably wouldn't even have the finances to play at their own ground!

Locals to the area are all too familiar with these 'pie in the sky' ideas, as for years we have read in the local paper that Odsal Stadium was going to become the 'Wembley of the North' and have a 100,000 capacity and become a regular stage for FA Cup semi finals, Rugby League semis/finals/Internationals and would host some of the biggest and best music concerts in the Country.

These stories have been on the go since the 1980's (at least). What I think we should be doing is taking inspiration from Huddersfield's ground, which has a much more realistic capacity, has hosted RL Internationals and if I'm not mistaken (I'm sure Rob Grillo will correct me, if I'm wrong!) has hosted REM and Bon Jovi gigs over the last 15 years or so. Never mind, perhaps my 3 year old son will live long enough to watch sport being played in the Odsal Super Stadium and the opening of the Sir Bob Blackburn ground, as I'm 38 and not sure I'll live long enough to see it Crazy

There was speculation that Albion would attempt to ground share at Farsley, following the demise of Leeds Carnegie but as I've heard nothing more on this, I assume they are indeed sharing at Horsfall, a venue I've seen them play FA Sunday Cup games at in the past.

The plot thickens...

...a number of NCEL clubs have been contacted by Kinsley Boys (of the CMFL) to support their challenge/campaign to gain entry into the NCEL at the AGM.

But to gain entry they had to finish in top two of the CM League. That is normally the rule for promotion from an OFFICIAL Step7 League to Step6 as this would be and they were only 4th. Anyway hasn't the draft constitution for next season already been published and it includes Parramore (Sheffield/Worksop or wherever ?) who finished as champions of CM League.

Where exactly does the West Riding County Amateur League fit into things? It doesn't seem to appear on the Pyramid structure like the West Yorkshire League does, yet Albion Sports have gained access from it to the NCEL.

Neither the West Yorkshire nor West Riding County Amateur leagues are 'officially' part of the pyramid.
The West Riding league is the stronger in terms of playing ability (Silsden, Brighouse & Hemsworth have also progressed in recent years) although the West Yorkshire league has overall better facilities.

They are very much rival leagues - the West Riding 'Bradford-based' & the West Yorkshire 'Leeds based'

Thanks for clearing that up. I was going by ThePyramid.info website which has the West Yorkshire League feeding into the Northern Counties East League. http://www.thepyramid.info/asp/pyramid3.asp PS, any idea why Bay Athletic refuse or are denied promotion from the WRCAL, having won it 4 years running? I'm presuming it's down to ground grading or finances but was just curious.

Bay haven't got the facilities to move up...yet. I think there are plans though, as I gather their ground will be or is the Huddersfield Town traininig ground. They also won the West Riding county cup again this season.

They've only won it once (officially) as their 2006 victory over Sherburn was chalked off for fielding ineligible players.

Speaking of the WRCFA, I see they too have adopted the standard website layout/design that other County FA's have. Its a shame, as their old site used to contain all the previous winners since their inception. Now it only goes back to 2004/05

I understand Bay are being turfed out of the Syngenta complex after HTAFC bought it for their new training centre and moving further down Leeds Road. They won't own that or have a long lease so little chance of improving facilities there. It's a shame as on the field they're more than good enough.

A shame also Knaresbrough aren't going up. I'm all for new teams in the NCEL but it's a little disappointing when both Albion and Parramore groundshare and neither appear to be self sustaining to any degree. I really wouldn't be surprised to see Parramore merge with Worksop in the next few years.

We were talking about Bay Athletic last night and the informed opinion seemed to be that Bay Athletic could well be moving back to their current site when HTAFC have finished their development work on the facility

In fact Parramore will be Worksop Town's landlords.
