I love this time of year working out who has gone where and then quite often trying to find out why.
The promotions and relegations look straightforward down as far as level 7 but from level 8 finding out where the demoted teams have gone is not always easy unless you are prepared to wait for the first league listings of next season.
I made a few guesses where teams would end up and when I checked I was right in all instances so I have left my unconfirmed guesses in the lists below.
I have heard a rumour that Cinderford Town have declined promotion. I knew that you could refuse to change leagues but I did not know that you could refuse promotion within the same league.

I have heard a rumour that Cinderford Town have declined promotion. I knew that you could refuse to change leagues but I did not know that you could refuse promotion within the same league.
My weakest guess was Tividale but then I have already asked that question: Where will Tividale play?
