       All anomalies in sense of location and the reason why these
       leagues were given this status for referees. Even with the extra
       leagues at step 3 and 4, there would still be too much
       travelling for officials in these extremities for official's,
       or, they only get a game every 4 to 6 weeks invariably at the
       same club/few clubs and that can’t be right for a merit table
       either

       Well the info is now out
       All step 5's & 6' will now be supply leagues with L4 refs, and
       god knows waht level on the line
       L3 will ref Steps 3's & 4's
       I forsee a lot of spare weekends next season for both levels in
       some geographical areas

       Particular the midlands which has lost its supply league status!

       It will be whatever they get - so likely to be L5 & L6's on
       promotion track. So as JCFC moans about the NWC Div 1 being the
       league of old AR's; he can add NWC Prem as well next year.
       It will be interesting to see what the Step 5 club feel about
       the perceived drop in refereeing standard to L4.
       Also, note that some Step 6 league in the South lose their
       supply league status (so no L4's) on them but a couple of league
       (currently Step 7) in the North will retain their Supply league
       status in the short-term to ensure that the referees have
       sufficient coverage.

       Apologies for my "moans" on the subject of the League of Aged
       Assistants - they were meant as whimsical observations, though I
       do plead guilty to moaning about Northern rail.
       There could be problems ahead: the NCEFL has occasionally had
       difficulty in finding Level 4s to cover Step 6 matches. I recall
       several years ago being surprised to find Luke Watson refereeing
       one such early season game at Emley, and feared that he must
       have been demoted - happily not the case. One aforementioned
       Aged Assistant was recently listed as referee in one NCEFL Step
       6 game. I was almost tempted to head to Penistone a fortnight
       ago, when a liked Level 2b referee was appointed to their Step 5
       game. Quite how they will be able to find Level 4s to cover
       their top division as well remains uncertain.

       At the moment they have level fours on the line at their top
       division games.  Some will be needed to help cover the lines on
       the additional northern step four division but they can use half
       of them to cover their refereeing requirements.
       On a separate issue, I am not sure if it has been mentioned
       elsewhere on the forum but last week level fours were sounded
       out about whether they would be interested in becoming
       specialist assistant referees.

       I echo your sentiments JCFC
       I’m interested in promotion candidates: please can someone
       explain how it works currently as it differs from location to
       location.
       If someone is going 5-4 or 6-4 they would referee on regional
       leagues like the Manchester League or the Cheshire League or the
       Central Mids League.
       When they then become 4s they go onto the combined counties, the
       NWCFL or the central mids prem. How is that going to change or
       is it going to change?

       My understanding is this won't change, supply league referee's
       will still referee supply league football and county referees
       will referee county football - just that the pools will change
       shape/size. In the NW for example I can foresee a merger of
       referees between the combined and NWC pool, either as 2
       different sized pools or 1 large pool.
       That aside, what will be interesting to see in the north west is
       that 'county referees' will now potentially need to referee 2x
       leagues that were formally refereed by supply league PLUS be
       assistants for a league that formally had L4 assistants (NWC
       Prem).
       We don't know anything for certain and we are only speculating
       on a forum, but I know I wouldn't want to be an appointments
       officer! !

       Thanks for the insight - personally I think nwc prem games
       should be reffed by level 4s with 5s on the line, and then lower
       level ref can line in the north and south
