No offence to Lye Town, but please don't. I'm depressed enough already.

The irony of this relegation is there will be less local games than there are now. Assuming Bromsgrive go up we miss out on the one big derby we would have liked and are left with Sutton and Coleshill. Whoopee flippin' do.
There's a couple of unexciting blasts from the past, Cambridge and Dunstable and the rest, well, oh dear.
Maybe Lye wasn't such a bad idea.

Is it too early for a projected league for 2019/20?

Right. So we need to get relegated again then for local games and we can all be happy ;D

And Bedworth I would suggest!

No...here's one from the Non League Matters Forum which is usually a very good guide.

If we are doing even remotely well, we'll comfortably have the highest average attendance along with Corby.

It doesn't look inspiring. Two trips to Dunstable (and Barton is close as well) and possibly two to Aylesbury if Aylesbury survive.

A.F.C. Dunstable
Aylesbury United
Barton Rovers
Bedford Town
Bedworth United
Berkhamsted
Biggleswade
Coleshill Town
Corby Town
Daventry Town
Didcot Town
Dunstable Town
Evesham United
Halesowen Town
Kempston Rovers
Kidlington
St. Neots Town
Sutton Coldfield Town
Thame United
Yaxley

So many good teams in that list.

Halesowen will do well to avoid relegation again.
