Surprised to see shevvy haven't made the switch, there's not much in the way of opposition for um if the winter season does carry on.

Have you seen our results this year?



To be honest we've just left it to the powers that be make the decision. Personally, I'm not fussed.

Some of u seem to know what league ur in, I can't see anything on the NW men's site or the abrighterleague one.....can anyone help?

We have had an email asking which league we would like to be in but that's it. I didn't think anything would be finalised till the Feb meeting.

Seems a hard question as you may ask to go in say division 2 but hard to know what that means unless you see the lineup. Guess they're more looking for which clubs want fast tracking and which want to drop back and rebuild so they can work from there. Guess they can't really start til they know the outcome of tomorrow's NWCL emergency meeting.

I agree they asked what division you wanted to go in before the deadline so at that point you didn't know how many teams or which teams would make the move to summer.

Anyone what date the meeting is in Feb?

Has playing at the college got anything to do with not switching? maybe the facilities can't be used in the summer when it is closed

Think it was 21st at Hindley

Ah, could be. I guess we'll find out more at training tonight.

5 of the 17 have gone summer leaving 12 winter sides apparently. Westhoughton is the only name I know that's gone summer out of the 5.

Anyone any idea who's staying winter and who's gone summer from the 17?

Apparently Shevington, Rylands and Wigan Bulldogs have switched to summer don't know if it's true. I read it on another site, abrighterleague.com or somethin along them lines

Shevy have 100% they had a meeting on Sat and it got voted for the switch over

Yeah apparently Walney are meeting to decide as well.

Well they had better hurry up and decide as the provisional divisions have been sent out.

Just seen the divisions on the Bank Quay site. How come Woolston are division 2, thought you'd be division 1? Also not sure why Folly Lane are premier.

Hmmm...we don't know why we are in Div 2 either. Feels like a backward step especially when we have beat teams above us. Obviously just not flavour of the month. Can't say we are too happy.

I'd at least have you in over Rochdale Cobras and Leyland and probably a few more of those.

I don't think they like us, which considering it's a brand new comp is quite a feat!

should be interesting....this could be good....how many times do a s!!1*t team get a crop of good young players and batter everyone in the division...9 times out of 10 clubs know when it going to happen so by asking teams were they feel they should go its miles better I for one would rather struggle with the big boys then batter the teams in the lower divisions besides this could be a close hard fought RL comp...it could also be a disaster!!! NO ONE would put all the right teams in the right divisions for the start of a brand new comp!!!! summer 2013 will be a much fairer structure...IMO

It's provisional - let them know your issues and hopefully they will resolve. On first glance there are a few club's that appear to be a division or two out either way. To be fair it's a big job gauging standards across a full Winter season, short interim and last summer's season.

BTW few clubs in the entry division who I would have expected to be in "proper" divisions - OSJ, Bolton Mets and Adlington. Is that right?

Think they got dropped down because they called off too many games.

Teams that were entering were asked where they thought they should be. That it hard to do when you don't know how many divisions there would be or who was in them! Hey ho, we will either be heard and moved or will have to win promotion and earn our place. It must be hard to start a brand new comp.

I'm assuming the draft divisions aren't confidential, so here we are. If anyone knows otherwise, tell me and I'll happily remove them with my apologies. We're happy where we are, we're likely to have another batch of new faces, a few seasoned campaigners have retired, plus a few regulars are now working some Saturdays so all change for us again. Looks like Cobras have been dropped into Div1, which is probably correct!
