Martin Eddy Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 With the list of clubs now published, apart from Mousehole no other club has applied for promotion. How do you think this would effect clubs in Trelawney prem. as if all clubs are successful there would only be 7 clubs left in the combination league. Would clubs have to meet ground grading or would the combination league have to lower its standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#sausagefingers Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 How is this gonna effect the trelawny league regarding promotions ? If your stating 7 to be left in combination does that mean the top say 9 teams in trelawny premier to be promoted ? @Dave BartlamBartlam what's the league structure of trelawny next season throughout leagues ??

John Mead Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Until the clubs in Step 7 league are confirmed, it's difficult to predict what will happen in the lower leagues. More info on St Piran League should be published by the end of Feb, so until then, patience is needed. TheolderIgetthebetterIwas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Have to agree with John for patience needed! No point scaremongering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Eddy Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Not trying to scaremonger Dave just looked at the teams applying and looking at the other conversations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the problems is going to be that for a long time yet. we aren't going to know just who from the Combo will be playing the new Step 7 League. What I think is pretty sure though is that not all the teams that have expressed an interest - namely Falmouth Town Reserves, Hayle, Helston Athletic Reserves, Illogan RBL, Penryn Athletic, Perranporth, Perranwell, Porthleven Reserves, St Agnes , St Day, St Ives Town, St.Just and Wendron Utd Reserves will get into the new league. Hence the suggestion to hang fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Eddy Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 The criteria for clubs from combo and eclp after ground grading would it be league positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points per game ratio with ECPL Prem (and the allocation of no more than 8 reserve teams!) There are 12 spaces available (Ludgvan, Bude + 2 who don’t get Step 6 already in) and many more than that applied to join the new league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bartlam Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 With only Mousehole Reserves applying for the step seven league, we have more than one team applying for Combo. Depending on the "pull" of the step seven league from Combo will depend on how many go up from Trelawny. That will obviously have a big affect on our league as there may well be more than the two going up to fill the gaps. Only two can go up via promotion however other teams can apply for the vacant positions. There's been plenty of speculating and plenty of "mock" league's drawn up however no-one really knows at this stage who's going where - we won't know until the FA allocates the teams. The concern for me at this level will be the effect this has on the Combination League and the resultant "pull" it has on the Trelawny League. I'm concerned as we may ultimately end up losing a division. We may even gain a division in the Combination League if the two decide to merge. I don't think many truly know what's going to happen yet. I doubt we will until the end of the season. I'm certainly not going to guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Eddy Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 The combo and Trelawny joining together seems the more logical move to me but knowing the fuss caused when Mining and fal/hel joined together. Will take a lot of discussing and organising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Carpenter Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 As John Mead says and Dave Deacon alludes to patience is the key here. There are a number of 'unknowns' at the moment but these will turn into 'knowns' as time passes albeit a little slower than perhaps some would like. All I can say is that I, as the secretary of the St Piran League, will do all I can to make sure that as things firm up they will be put into the public domain. There will be no secrets. The next key date is the 24th Feb and I would anticipate a news update listing those clubs that have applied on or around the 25th. After that it's a matter of waiting until the leagues finish their fixtures to finalise who's in though work will continue in other areas. There will of course be impacts in the recreational leagues but there are very good and able people on these committees and I'm sure they will manage the situation as well as they can to achieve the best possible outcomes. Paul Collings makes some excellent points on another thread on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I just backtrack slightly and ask why in the first place was it deemed necessary for a Step 7 League covering the whole of Cornwall anyway? A suggestion has been put to me recently that perhaps instead there should have been two! East and West based and this way travelling would be a lot less than it will be.

The honest answer Dave is that I don't know. As you know I was away for the early part of last year and wasnt involed at all. By the time I was the decision had already been made and the process was underway. I believe the Combination and ECPL were asked if they would be interested in running the Step 7 league but both declined. Whether that was league or leagues I don't know. In the end it's not going to change now so we've just got to get on with it, do the best we can and then see what the future brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
