Isthmian League allocations 25/25 season

The Isthmian League have released details of which divisions each club will be competing in next season.

Bognor have been allocated to the South Central division and Littlehampton have been shifted across from the South-east division to join them. This certainly helps travelling with easy trips to Fareham, Portchester, Horndean and Moneyfields. Thus avoiding several long journeys across to Kent.

I do wonder if given the choice, whether the other West Sussex clubs would prefer South Central than South East. Not sure if there’s a difference in footballing quality between the two leagues so probably about whether you prefer travelling to far flung Kent or up to North/West London.

Any idea who is in the running to fill these two spots?

There’s still 5 teams in the running for the 2 spots. If it’s 2 from Whyteleafe, Jersey or Redhill they’ll be in the South East division. If one of the promoted sides includes Cobham or Fleet they’ll go into South Central and South Park will be moved across to South East.
Jersey have moved their end of season awards back to the end of June so it’s unlikely to be resolved anytime soon.

Aer Worthing expecting to lose any players lpke they did last season

They don't have anyone quite as sought after as last season. Pearce was obviously destined to play at a higher level

Probably the main one is Cashman who I imagine has a few eyes on him from national League sides (and maybe even league 2) but he wouldn't be AS hard to replace as a striker who is capable of scoring like 45 goals in a season (Joe Felix was a big loss also)
