The constitution of the League for season 2010-11 will be discussed at the League AGM on Saturday 19th June.The following Club applications have been received and all are recommended by the Management Committee for Membership of the League for season 2010/11. However, all are subject to Football Association clarification.
Rossendale United (Step 4) - Relegated from the Northern Premier League
Chester * - Recommended by The Football Association to be placed at Step 5
A.F.C. Darwen ** (Step 7) - West Lancashire League
Runcorn Town ** (Step 7) - West Cheshire League
West Didsbury & Chorlton *** - Manchester League
In order for Chester* to be placed at Step 5, The Football Association are required to approve an increase in numbers of the Premier Division for one season to 23 Clubs and also approve the relegation of 3 Clubs at the end of season 2010/11.
If this is a recommendation the Member Clubs will be required to decide by a vote as to whether to increase the Premier Division to 23 Clubs for one season and relegate 3 Clubs at the end of season 2010/11.
If this is an instruction of The Football Association no vote will be required.
In the event of any such vote proving no, Chester* would be placed in the First Division.
A.F.C. Darwen** and Runcorn Town** are current Members of the Step 7 Division of their respective Leagues, but have not finished in a promotion position, so automatic promotion is not applicable. Both League's have notified The Football Association of their support for the Clubs promotion to the NWCFL. The Football Association have notified that they also are happy to support their promotion to the NWCFL. Both Clubs have passed the minimum entry criteria.
West Didsbury & Chorlton*** are not currently in the Step 7 Division of the Manchester League. The Football Association have not received any such confirmation from the Manchester League. The Club would be required to produce confirmation of planning permission, funding and contract completion date for the erection of floodlights. These items would be required prior to the Annual General Meeting as per National League System Regulations.
Their application may be subject to the Club submitting an appeal to the Football Association.
