It's silly season time where all sorts of odd things happen, so it's about time we had somewhere to discuss these goings on. I normally start something covering these discussions earlier in the season but I've been busy this year and things have been relatively simple up to now.
The leagues committee is sitting around about now, and deciding on who goes where.
The normal spreadsheet produced by "wazzafan" on the NLM forum:

At the time I post this it has not yet been updated to cope with Worcester's situation.
Worcester City both asked to be relegated during the season and were relegated on the pitch over the course of the season. The leagues committee has therefore placed them at step 5 in the Midland Alliance due to the fact that there is a rule that if you ask to be relegated then you must be relegated 2 levels, plus the relegation on the pitch which is assessed separately.
The direct knock on effects would appear to be the following:
- Step 3 reprieve - Harrow Borough (Isthmian Premier)
- Step 4 reprieve - Ware (Isthmian Division 1 North)
Both of these are assessed on a PPG basis across the divisions with no preference for the league/division as the reprieve is coming from step 2 (n.b. there is a rule that reprieves from clubs below step 2 are assessed "in league" first).
Based on the projections in the spreadsheet (currently) that would move one team from the Isthmian Premier in to the Southern Premier - likely Bishops Stortford.
This then also means the push of a team from the Isthmian 1 North to the SLD1C - either Cambridge City or London Colney are the most likely, depending on how the leagues committee want to shape the divisions.
