The FA have just announced the composition of next season's leagues at Steps 1-4.
Worcester City are to stay in BS South, with newly promoted Gloucester City going into BS North. This seems a bit of a nonsense, as Gloucester is about 30 miles south of Worcester - and Gloucester are currently groundsharing with Cirencester (following the floods two summers ago) which is even further south.
I believe this arrangement is because the FA promised Worcester last year, when the club reluctantly shifted from North to South, that they wouldn't be shuffled back again a year or two later at the FA's convenience.
However, it would seem to me sensible for Worcester to volunteer to go back to the North. Surely they're missing those derbies with Redditch and Solihull Moors? That would allow Gloucester to enjoy their own derbies with Bath City and Newport.
What think the Worcester crew? Might the return to the North still happen this summer?
