If you look at the SWPL website under league news, you should find plenty of info to answer your questions and be able to keep abreast of progress.

Tamar.man Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 From the information out there and what has been talked about on podcasts, the three divisions will be west central and east ....west will be Cornwall and maybe some west Devon....central will be Devon and West Somerset and east will be Bristol area ........I see st Dominic have applied for step 6...they need a lot of ground investment for that from my visits there?

Dane Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 I’d say step six west will be the league as it is now minus the top 4. Plus st day and possibly Holsworthy marjons and elburton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Gibbons Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Step 6 West.... From the West (12): St Dennis / Launceston / Sticker / Penzance / Bodmin / Callington / Mullion / St Austell / Camelford / Dobwalls / + 2 of the current top 6 From the East (3): Elburton / Marjons / Holsworthy From the SPL (3): St Day / Truro Reserves / Mousehole Reserves(?) I applaud St Dominick in applying for promotion but assume that there may be too much work to do to meet the grading, unless they already have plans submitted and provisionally signed. I'm sure there'll be conversations to not leave one of the Step 6 leagues light of sides. "The Ground Grading Officers of the Western Peninsula League will make arrangements to visit applicant clubs, who have until March 31st to comply with the entry criteria for Step 6, the league will then recommend to The FA clubs that meet grading criteria, and The FA will then use that, together with final league tables, before allocating clubs."

Gary Hocking Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 What home ground is Truro Res’s application based on? Presumably not Tregye for ground grading reasons. So is it on the basis that Langarth will become available during the 23/24 season, and if so do the FA accept applications based on unbuilt grounds? Or do Truro Res have a different ground share lined-up for next season? baldy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly question, but if Langarth does happen for the 2024/25 season as hoped, is it a waste of time and money to upgrade the ground and install floodlights at Tregeye for 1 season? Would assume that Truro reserves, youth and first team will all share the same ground eventually (unless I'm mistaken). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking to one of the Truro reps last night, he suggested they would still keep Tregeye and didn't see the reserves playing at the new ground. Also if the Pirates did end up coming to the new ground, there wouldn't be room for them anyway. Town Fan and mattelot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate there is some money to come from selling Treyew Road to Lidl but, developing Bolitho Park, developing Tregye, full-time ex-pro manager, team of mainly ex-pros, building a new multi-million pound complex at Langarth....... and all on crowds of less than an average SWPL team for the last few seasons. Really doesn't seem to add up. Town Fan and Lafs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattelot Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Could it be that 2 locally based millionares are waiting in the wings until the new complex is up and running at langarth,before being unearthed as the new owners.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reserve teams in that league will be a real shame. Seen it before with Argyle, Tiverton etc. Just dosnt work and their in one year, gone the next. Reserve teams should be for Reserve leagues with the likes of the ecpl for example where they are not in the Pyramid with promotion and relegation.

FootballChat Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Having seen the standard of football played on the ECPL recently I can’t imagine any reserve side competing in that league would be of much use to a step 3 or 4 side. Nobody is going from ECPL one week to the Southern Prem the following week! Luke Gibbons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
