Talk:Nottinghamshire Senior League
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Correct status
The Nottinghamshire Alliance actually isn't a feeder league to the Central Midlands League. The Nottinghamshire Senior League is the top Notts county-based league and directly feeds the CML. According to Football Mitoo, the Notts Football Alliance last played in the 2003/04 season, while the first entry for the NSL is 2004/05...so I'm going to assume that the NSL is a successor to the NFA because most of the clubs in the latter league are now in the former. There is also a Notts Amateur Alliance that seems to contain some reserve and third teams of NSL clubs, but I'm not sure where that league would fall in the pyramid (which does tend to get very murky at this level). If I've gotten the setup wrong here, feel free to correct me. --Balerion 05:44, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- To clarify, I'm not sure if the NSL is an entirely different entity from the NFA, or if it's simply a renaming. --Balerion 05:53, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- It is a completely different entity. The Alliance was disbanded and the Senior League formed at the same time, but there is no pretence of any connection between the two. Of course, most of the clubs involved were the same. - fchd 13:31, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
