Supporters of the Non-League pyramid being restructured this summer to avoid 2nd successive null & void season. Reward clubs! Relegate none! Positive solution!
Let's use this period of uncertainty for non-league football to proactively address the planned restructure via PPG:
0⃣ No teams relegated across Steps 3-6
🔝Reward strongest teams from 2019-21 with promotion
🔁Allow @fa to restructure the pyramid
#ProjectNonLeague
Yesterday's confirmation of the FA Restructure was a great day for Non League. Congratulations to all the fantastic clubs that benefitted from hard-earned upwards movement. So happy for you all.
We only wish clubs higher up the pyramid had benefitted similarly.
@NonLeagueMaps@Ollie_Bayliss@FA We think the 59th and 60th slots will be taken from those that apply using sporting data. So we will see a best 4th on PPG somewhere. This is only an assumption.
@andysharratt Focus will be on 4th and 5th in order. If only two teams wanted out of 5 then not sure what would happen to be honest.
Most step 6 clubs will want to go up. Some Step 5 clubs might not.
We are delighted to say the FA restructure for Steps 4/5 will happen! Good luck to the 110 clubs that will benefit of an upward movement. #ProjectNonLeague
@Adam51028500@Andymorris74@FA ...didn’t have anywhere to go. The FA don’t want to fill a 1 team gap so there will be additional spaces for promotion available in the 2022/23 season.
@Adam51028500@Andymorris74@FA Sadly so. There will be no promotion in Steps 2,3 or 4. The reason for promotions in Steps 5,6 and 7 is to allow the restructure. No club needs to be relegated and it enables the FA to unblock the clubs at Step 7 that have been trying to enter the NLS.
@Andymorris74@Adam51028500@FA Yes, we asked for movement in our proposals. This included the National league moving to 3 x 24 teams as per their plans. Sadly the National league was in a mess and it was taken off the table affecting steps 2 and 3’s promotion hopes. Sadly with no upwards movement there step 4.
Following the curtailment of the 2020-21 season at tiers three to six of the women's football pyramid, clubs are now able to apply to move into the league or division above the one in which they currently play:
Ladies first....

The women’s upward movement opens today and the men’s teams hopefully open on Monday for those clubs in Steps 5 and 6 that are in either in the top 3 or top 5 of their division. Three clubs would be invited to apply if 1 slot available
@RepossSTPodcast @NonLeagueMaps It is 3 up from the three Northern Divisions and 1 from each of the other Step 5 leagues making a new 20 team league possible.
@simmo_on_sport@Rob_Kelleher1 Sadly Step 3 and Step 4 will run one short in 2021/22 season. The National League had agreed to go to 24 clubs at Step 2 previously but this is also on hold. Hopefully Steps 3 and 4 can benefit next season with additional promotion spaces to complete these vacancies.
A top tweet from a club that finishes 4th on PPG when the top 4 were due to go up. Tooting Bec misses out unless a space comes up and they wish their rivals well for an upward movement. Fair play @TootingBecFC 👏
Well done to @jersey_bulls@FarnhamTownFC & @waltonhershamfc on their impending promotion from CCL div 1.
Had some great battles with each of you and fully deserve to go up.
Pleased to see the top teams in the league rewarded for their excellence over the last 24 months 👏
@_IWFC@SuffolkFA@ThurlowNunnL@Ollie_Bayliss@stowtownfc@lakenheath Stephen, credit to you for supporting this. We had a few chats when we started and your views were why we made changes to our proposals. You always supported the restructure but if a different way. Thank you for not obstructing others to be rewarded. 👏🏻
@TheNomadsFc Hello Antsey Nomads, we have already done the legal investigations for you. The FA have the right to use 19/20 season data as part of their wide remit of administering the game. These results can be used and we hope to save you time and money.
We're tremendously encouraged by the proposed structural changes to the NLS put forward by the alliance/leagues committees. We praise them for their forward thinking & leadership. It's the closest thing there is to a "fair" outcome from past 2 seasons.
