They'll be one of the favourites for sure, but Hitchin, Berkhamsted etc etc might have something to say about that. Looks a very competitive division, that's for sure ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/browraise.png)

I bet a few of the usual Step 4 mercenaries are sniffing around them.

Spartan Premier looks like no big guns.

I think there's every possibility that they'll win it and then get demoted back to the Spartan because of their ground grading!

Our new mayor will enjoy the trip to his old hunting ground at Northwood.

I fancy Hitchin to win the league but there are a lot of sides who will fancy it. After a bit of an exodus at Biggleswade Town, will those players all end up back at Berko and go for three league wins on the trot?!
Real Bedford will be up there. Wouldn’t be surprised if some of the Bedford Town lot end up moving across the car park. They probably need a season of stability to build their infrastructure off the pitch and going to war with the local council over their lease might mean they ground share in 25/26. Then it’s likely grading wouldn’t be an issue if they get promoted.
What is abundantly clear is that the league is much stronger than last season with four relegation places. Here is to hoping we can start the league campaign strong and stable!

Excited already about next season.
Team seem together as one though only know come July when players do or don't return.
After last season when the warning signs in pre season were apparent hoping there's no repeat and preparation is more focused and realistic. Choice of pre season games will be an early pointer.
A 22 team division again so 6 more matches than the last 2 seasons will be a test but preferable if we are striving for mid table (at least). Desperately want a nice run in the FA Cup to start the season more positively than last season which obviously also boosts the budget and keeps a bigger/stronger squad together for longer.
Not informed enough to know who the likely challengers / strugglers will be bar the obvious picks but hoping and maybe expecting a more positive one for us!

If Tuttle can carry on in the same vein, then youd hope we can be mid table.. Being a realist/pessimist I am looking to see if there are 4 worse teams. Enfield look like they had a shocking season, what will happen to North Leigh? And then there are the usual suspects like the BedfordBiggleswade, Kidlington, Thame, Barton. Cant imagine Flackwell Heath or Levvy Green are going to have massive resources either

Cant imagine Flackwell Heath or Levvy Green are going to have massive resources either I'd like to agree and would be delighted with mid table, but if its four teams go down then its going to be difficult to name them,(how many teams go up is it still only winners and play offs) Thame I think will be mid table as last few months ben really had them going in right direction and flackwell and levvy I think will shock people, I think hadley&WGC may struggle and unless we get a increase in budget I think it may be another year of struggling 🤔
