So no one has really answered the question of how a Surrey United "reserve team" from VMSL were given a spot in FVSL Div 1.
And I use the term "reserve team" loosely. I would be surprised if anyone from their squad ever even warmed the bench for the premier team.
All TTP aside, if everything's on the Up and Up as they say it looks like this: (PS: There is an Archives section on the FVSL site showing last years standings and the promo relegation results)
Last year Prem Standings ended with Chilli and TeeDub as bottom two, in which case bottom is relegated and second last plays second best from D1 in playoff for Promo/Rele. Chilli and Teedub both went down and up came SFC Guildford and FV Red Devils.
7 Returning from the other 8 Prem teams from last year are: Poco, NDSC, Langley, PAU, GEU/NFS/WCFC, Pomo, Abby.
It appears that SFC took the ACBC spot and filled it with a new team called SFC Temple A.
For D1:
Gone are Guildford Utd and FVRD to prem, replaced by TWU and Chilli. SFC and Pomo had been destined for relegation to be replaced with GEU Inter and LUFC Young Guns who were promoted from D2. Back are Aldergrove, NDSC B, PAU B.. now the confusing part...
Poco Revs are now Called NCU Rev's
LUFC Sentinel folded and NFS Razorbacks are MIA from the standings...leaving two open spots... It appears to me that Surrey Utd was given or had acquired one spot and mysteriously Port Moody is back in the division and weren't relegated after all perhaps to cover another team folding late in the game? PoMo has a team already in D2 and Prem, perhaps easier than slamming another SFC team into D1 being that the Yotes finished tied for second on points with the LUFC Young Guns.
I think I have got it all covered... It only gets difficult in explaining Pomo having a D2 spot, and that might be able to be explained by Pomo Blues from D4 (last year called NC Blues) winning the cup and being given a jump over D3 after hammering everyone last year in D4.
I don't know about 'all' of them ....on another note, I thought league spots aren't "allowed" to be bought/sold...
Or moved or given? Didn't bcu "acquire" acbc b's spot in d2 last year?
For the record it was HB10 that "aquired" acbc's D1 spot(not D2) and he is no longer part of BCU, also there are zero ex-acbc members on my D3 team.
Hi JJ
and where did HB10 go?
I'm still around cs just figuring what to do for winter. Thing is some players don't want to really want to play Div.3 and some also want some higher division play including some of the acbc players. I talked to some teams and clubs for spots or merges but they were all either folding or filled out.
I think this year everyone will just take it easy, just enjoy playing, and then will try to work out something solid for next season.
