Exeter City Women 2023/24 (Champions)

[Spoonz Red E]

Do they go into the southern premier with a win?

Yes (Level 3).

Portsmouth have just got promoted from that into the WSL Championship (Level 2).
Lewes and Watford are the teams relegated from the Championship to Level 3.
Lewes should be the team to go into the Southern Premier with Watford going into the Northern Premier.

AFC Wimbledon have been promoted from the Division One South East into the Southern Premier.

Chatham Town & London Bees have been relegated from the Southern Premier.

So the Southern Premiers teams are likely to be:

• AFC Wimbledon
• Billericay Town
• Cardiff City
• Cheltenham Town
• Hashtag United
• Ipswich Town
• Lewes
• Milton Keynes Dons
• Oxford United
• Plymouth Argyle
• Rugby Borough

and, hopefully, us.

Wow - the chance to see city away less than an hour from home would be fun

mk, rugby and Oxford are all doable on that basis

When Bridgwater United were in this league recently I recall their away match against Milton Keynes was played at Stadium MK.
That’d be a good experience for City’s women even if a bit of an eerie atmosphere.

No different from a normal men's game there then

Missed an opportunity to get a really decent crowd by not playing at SJP.

It was the women's decision to play it there. No missed opportunities.

That is a surprise but if they feel more comfortable in those surroundings that is fine.

That's their home ground and where they play the majority of their home games. They want to make it as normal as possible. Plus bournemouth play on grass so the women are thinking they'll have an advantage playing on an artificial pitch.

...

Surely Watford will not be put in the Northern half ... more likely (without knowing the rules), a team like Rugby Borough will be move sideways (if South to North can be considered sideways)
