Lots of travel for us, but, it is where we want to be. If you are right Differ, see you in the autumn. Get the Pigs fattening for the pre-match munchkins!!!

Quote from: Differ Lid on May 10, 2026, 07:42 AMI would imagine that's how it will shape up

1. Alnwick
2. Blaydon
3. Driffield
4. Hull
5. Ilkley
6. Middlesbrough
7. North Ribblesdale
8. Northern
9. Sandal
10. Scarborough
11. Scunthorpe
12. York

I wonder what will happen if Hull fold?

I think it could be a while before we have any idea of the final makeup of the league.

There are still squabbles about how 2nd teams into the league could work and any ramifications further up.

No doubt we'll hear news about appeals and legal action soon.

Flaggy, a little bird told me that North Ribb might end up in a league unfavorable to your wishes, just to spite you.

Nothing would surprise me on that front.

Maybe we our paths wont cross again anytime soon.

 Shame as we were looking forward to a visit to Scarbados again after several years of exile.!!!!

We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return. We will be with our friends again. We will be with our families again. We will meet again. But for now, I send my thanks and warmest good wishes to you Flaggy. 🤣

A little bit of recent history.

I'm sure we will battling on the pitch next year. I'm already planning my Dales walking/rugby weekend (school fixtures permitting)

Regional Leagues surely have to move to 14 team leagues next season. It's the only thing left that makes sense. They have tried the cups and the playoffs, surely going to something everyone knows works is the only thing that's left

I personally agree....but it will cause chaos with promotion and relegation!

Have they? It's not like we didn't know about them happening this season?

Harrogate had 3 away games they could hardly plan for.
