Dave Deacon Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 What's the situation this season with the number of teams ECLP? By that I mean, is the league going to the CCFA to ask for an increase in the two divisions. Or is it a case of one club being relegated to be replaced by one of the three applying (facilities accepted of course). Which moves me to ask - where do St Stephens Borough play? For some reason I thought it was on the pitch at the back of Kimberley Stadium, is that pitch up to Senior League requirements? Or am I thinking of another club?

jannerlad Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 St Stephens Borough play their home games on Warfelton which is the pitch behind Kimberley Stadium. What is the facility criteria to enter the East Cornwall League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 St Stephens Borough do play at Warfelton which will never be acceptable to the ECPL. They will have to move. Rumour has it that they may try to play at Tideford. As far as promotion and relegation is concerned. There are three things to bear in mind. The CCFA and ECPL have still to agree a change of constitution to allow a maximum of 32 teams from the 28 teams they already have. If the CCFA agree then all three could be accepted and possibly nobody relegated. As it stands the bottom ECPL team would go down to be rpelaced by the top Duchy League side. St Stephens Borough is that team, if not then St Dominick or Edgcumbe. The other thing is that a team can move directly across from other leagues. ie North Devon League and Plymouth & Dsitrict league come to mind. There is also the problem if a team/s from the SWPL wishes to drop down to join the ECPL. This has got a long way to run yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest duchy player Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I heard a rumour that Godolphin are applying to the swpl 1, does that mean that their reserve side could also be accepted into the ecpl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ggr_garth Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 One would only think so, if they manage to apply in time. Just look at what Camelford did last season for an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
