I hope Hilltop FC (Combined Counties 1) play on top of a hill, if not there'll be trouble.
Bit of a geographic shift round here at step 6, the NWCL continues to colonise West Yorkshire whereas the disbanding of the East Midlands Counties sends several of their clubs back into the NCEL. Hopefully matchgoing will be back in the autumn as a leisure option and the novelty won't have worn off before I have to spend a chilly evening enduring Ollerton or fucking Clipstone again.

Seems odd to me that the United Counties League has a Premier North and a Premier South at Step 5, but only one non-regionalised Step 6 Division, but I guess that's come from the East Midlands Counties league disbanding.
Also, the Eastern Counties League really needs to the decent thing and hand its Step 6 Eastern Senior League over to the Essex Senior League

I've read it suggested that the latter anomaly is because the FA isn't keen on leagues being named after counties at that level, I suppose because it's easier to shuffle teams around where necessary if the leagues have vaguer geographical names- the Essex Senior is the highest level league still to be named after a county.

The East Midlands Counties League is no more. Most clubs have transferred to the United Counties League Division 1 with a few of the stronger clubs being promoted to the Premier Division at Step 5.
Unfortunately, six clubs from north of Nottingham, mainly those with a mining heritage, have joined the Northern Counties East and have been replaced largely by teams from Leicestershire.
