Recently there has been some talk about which league we will be in for next season; some of that talk generated by myself. This was influenced by League Projections for 2022-23 posted on the Non League Matters website forums.

At the time of the Awards evening and our last two matches, the current projection then on NLM showed us placed in the Isthmian Premier for next season.

Now that the playoffs at our level (step 3) are complete, and 87 of the 88 clubs at our level next season are known, (the one exception - who is to be relegated from National League North - will not affect us), the projections across all steps have been updated on NLM.

The latest projection shows us remaining in the Southern League Premier South, and not transferring to the Isthmian Premier. It also shows that potentially we will face six new clubs in the SLPS next season, namely Bognor Regis Town, Corinthian-Casuals, Bracknell Town, Hanwell Town, Plymouth Parkway, and Winchester City - these replacing Taunton Town, Farnborough, Merthyr Town, Wimborne Town, Chesham United, and Kings Langley.

Please note that this is only the latest projection for next season; it is not set in stone, and is subject to further change.

The final placement of clubs in leagues at steps 1-6 is to be decided by the FA, and will be announced by them on a date yet to be specified, but which is expected to be before the end of May.

Once the league makeup for next season is officially announced by the FA, we will make it known on the website as soon as we can.
