Reading posts in the St piran section concerning St Cleer changing their name to Liskeard. It states it's not an issue for promotion to the St Pirans, but if they are actually moving to lux park and basically a new club, then it is a issue and would not be allowed promotion. If the person who made this statement is correct, he also states that it would also be an issue concerning the ecpl? So should St Cleer/liskeard be allowed to continue in the ecpl if they are moving to Lux park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the vote went no then St Cleer would have played at Lux Park so it was seen as easier to allow the change of name for that team from most clubs I would imagine.

Wonder what changes will be made next season and if any new sides will be entering The idea of two Division Ones last season was to then after the promoted teams go up to ECPL, make a "Premier Division" from the top halves of them. The bottom halves of each would become the new Division One and then they would have a Division Two below that. I'm assuming that is still the plan.

Foul Throw 3 Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 That's what I've heard too. With Lanreath and Wadebridge Reserves reforming to replace the two clubs promoted to the ECPL as well as other new clubs forming hopefully the Duchy league is strong again with a Prem, Div1 and so on.

Paul Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 I thought the ECPL would have been back to 16 teams this season. That was the plan from what I heard. 14 is a random number for a league at that level. Do St Cleer FC still exist then in any way? Or have they folded to become Liskeard reserves and thats it?

Luke Gibbons Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Liskeard AFC Reserves Wadebridge Town Reserves St Columb Sides all voted into the ECPL on this evening's vote. The constitution remains at 16 with Clubs able to submit a proposed change in the New Year. Good to see so many Clubs in attendance tonight and to see a few friendly faces. Whilst the League may have got things wrong at the first stab, at least they had the courage to stand up and apologise. I've also seen some mud thrown at Will Kitto this week which I believe was uncalled for. We're all entitled to our opinions, either for the best of our Clubs or the League as a whole. Let's remain in healthy debate. Looking forward to seeing most of you again in the 2022/23 season. Rjw87, Cloughie, MattP and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the ECPL clubs themselves voted for 14. So its ok unless the county say otherwise. The St Piran constitution is set by the FA as it is for all NLS Feeder League's. It's a flexible, if that's the right word, number in that the minimum is 14 and the maximum is 16 unless 'the great majority' have lights in which case it can go to 18. Its highly unlikely that we would ever get to 18. If, after all promotion and relegation has taken place, vacancies exist the decision as to whether the vacancies are to be filled rests with Cornwall FA and the FA Leagues Committee. St Minver in 4th applied but couldn't meet the ground grading criteria and Foxhole in 5th didn't apply. St Teath and St Cleer were not accepted under the FA's process. This very different to other leagues operating under the standard code of rules where they can elect clubs to fill vacancies.

St Columb applied to join, like the other 4 teams. Don’t forget clubs withdrew last season so there was additional spaces. I think they will do well with a derby game thrown in the mix. A cracking set up etc. thought ECPL was quite strong last season, think it is stronger this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
