2022/23 league restructure.

[kingsheathlad]

On the rolling maul site someone has put a link showing the document giving a comprehensive outline of restructure for National 1 and below which includes where Moseley Oak will be.
I can't do the techi thing to put it on our board. Any offers out there.

Sutton Coldfield and Silhillians could be called local derbies but the rest are mainly East Midlands.

They were playing Leek last season.

We are paying the price for living in Middle Earth Didn't we also travel up to Crewe too, last season?

[andyj]

Given that there are now 3 divisions at National Two level does that mean 3 teams will get relegated from National Division One?

[owain]

We are still awaiting promotion and relegation details. It seems likely unless the championship choose to expand allowing for more than one team to be promoted

[kingsheathlad]

Some RFU meeting in June will decide promotion and relegation for level 6 and above apparently.

[grooveavenue]

Relegation for 3 from Nat 1 may be a problem - as in what if the 3 teams all live in the Eastern Division?

In those circumstances they would usually reshuffle the deck of all three divisions. They'd inconvenience someone else rather than put Hull (for example) into the West.

Yes, I think there would be level transfers. And it would also depend on who's coming up from level 5 too. It's often problematic; Chester nearly ended up in the SW division until the final list of teams at level 4 worked out in their favour.

I'd be interested in how the club feels about this officially. Even fewer home games? That would presumably mean a smaller squad and fewer 'weaker' teams. Unfortunately, fewer games does not necessarily mean fewer injuries.

Any ideas when fixture list likely to be released.

Current mandate from RFU is 16th June.
National League Rugby Executive are canvassing the RFU to have L3 and 4 released earlier to allow our clubs additional planning time.
