Nelson FC have today resigned from the Vodkat League.
The Committee has decided that Ashton Athletic will retain their place in the Premier Division, to maintain the full complement of 22 clubs in the division.
This decision is subject to ratification by the League Management Committee, whose next meeting is on Wednesday 21st July 2010.
It would be a pity if Nelson went out of business. It is a friendly enough place and the architetural history represented by Holme Terrace is worth the trip alone
