2015–16 North West Counties Football League

Football league season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2015–16 North West Counties Football League season was the 34th in the history of the North West Counties Football League, a football competition in England.

The league comprised two divisions, the Premier Division and the First Division (at levels 9 and 10 of the English football league system, Steps 5 and 6 of the National League System respectively). Additionally there were two cup competitions: the League Challenge Cup (known as the Men United Cup for sponsorship reasons) knockout competition open to all the league's clubs; and the First Division Trophy (known as the Reusch First Division Cup for sponsorship reasons), a knockout trophy competition for First Division clubs only.

The constitution of the Premier Division was advised to member clubs on 27 May 2015;[2] it featured 22 clubs, 18 remaining from the previous season plus four additions:

Three promoted from the First Division

and, additionally

As in the previous four seasons clubs wishing to be promoted from the Premier Division had to meet the National League System promotion criteria.[4] Five clubs applied for promotion: 1874 Northwich; Atherton Collieries; Colne; Runcorn Linnets; Runcorn Town.[5]

At the end of the season the champions Colne were promoted to the Northern Premier League Division One North. The clubs finishing in the bottom three places in the table, Alsager Town, Silsden and A.F.C. Blackpool, were relegated to the First Division. Over the season the average goals scored per divisional match increased to a new high for the Premier Division (formerly Division One) of 3.65 goals per match (an increase over the 3.52 during the 2010–11 season).

A provisional constitution of the First Division was advised to member clubs on 27 May 2015;[2] this included Oldham Boro and Wigan Robin Park (who subsequently resigned[7]), and newly allocated club Stockport Town – but not Whitchurch Alport whose initial application was refused[8] but who were successful after appealing the decision. The First Division featured 18 clubs, 14 remaining from the previous season plus four additions:

Northwich Flixton Villa changed their name to Northwich Manchester Villa

At the end of the season the champions Hanley Town, runners-up Irlam and promotion play-off winners Barnton (who had finished third in the table) were promoted to the Premier Division. Also leaving the division were Rochdale Town who were relegated over ground grading considerations[11] to the Manchester League but folded shortly after the start of the following season[12] and Northwich Manchester Villa who resigned shortly after the end of the season.[13]
