Guest Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 No. You're not quite right. Definitely in for 2017 are: Belle Vue, Birmingham, Buxton, Cradley, Eastbourne, Isle of Wight, Kent, King's Lynn, Mildenhall and Stoke Rye Houe are definitely out and Coventry 99.9% out. There was a rumour a month or so go about Buxton pulling out due to increased costs caused by big clubs (Brum, Eastie, Lakeside etc) dropping down and flexing their cheque books, and also the increased travel costs caused by the addition of far-flung tracks (e.g. IOW & Plymouth)... but Buxton are 100% in. Lakeside look set to apply for NL and will be effectively a stright swap for Rye House Plymouth have to attend a SCB/BSPA interview (but this is just a formality) and then they will apply for NL. Some teams concerned about the travelling distance to Plymouth, but the BSPA don't want a track to close, so they'll be in. Your 2017 NL will be:- Belle Vue Birmingham Buxton Cradley Eastbourne Isle of Wight Kent King's Lynn Lakeside Mildenhall Plymouth Stoke All things being equal - as they say - I tend to agree with your opinion Darcys Onion as to how the 2017 National League structure will look.
