LEAGUE CONSTITUTION 2009-2010
The League Management Committee has been informed by Mike Appleby, Leagues Manager at The Football Association, of the following decisions that have been made with regard to the constitution of the Vodkat League for season 2009-2010.
AFC Fylde have been promoted as champions to the UniBond League Division One North. However, the Vodkat League will not receive a team relegated back from a league at Step 4 in the National League system.
The FA had previously advised the League Management Committee that Flixton had failed to meet the necessary F Grade ground grading standard to enable them to remain at Step 5 in the National League system, our Premier Division. The FA had therefore advised that Flixton should be relegated from our Premier Division.
However, the FA has now informed us that Flixton have since been given the F Grade ground grading status, and will therefore remain in our Premier Division. This means that Abbey Hey and Atherton Collieries occupy the relegation positions in our Premier Division.
As the Vodkat League is not receiving a club back from a Step 4 league, to maintain the quota of 22 clubs in our Premier Division only Atherton Collieries will be relegated to Division One. Abbey Hey will retain their Premier Division status, and Bootle and Padiham will be promoted to the Premier Division.
Division One will in turn be reduced to 17 clubs, and with the resignation of Darwen FC from the league, this further reduces the number of clubs to 16. Barnoldswick Town of the West Lancashire League have applied to join Division One for the start of the 2009-10 season, and their application will be voted on by member clubs of the Vodkat League at the AGM on Saturday June 20th.
