2025_2026 - Yes, already!

Looking forward to the new season!

Well, the last one may have only just finished, but the world of football never stops, and we're already looking at next season with the announcement of the, as yet unconfirmed, teams for the ESL Premier next season.

We have five changes from last season, obviously mostly driven by promotions and relegations, and I'll do a bit of an in-depth analysis of the upcoming season over the next few weeks, but for now, here's the list, and as the ESL says, "It's welcome to"
BASILDON UNITED (Relegated from the Isthmian League North)
SPORTING BENGAL UNITED (Relegated from the Isthmian League North)
HARWICH & PARKESTON (Promoted from the Eastern Counties League Division One North)
HACKNEY WICK (Promoted from the Eastern Counties League Division One South)
SOUL TOWER HAMLETS (Promoted from the Southern Counties East League First Division)

The five teams that have moved from last season's ESL are:
STANWAY ROVERS (Champions)
TAKELEY (Play-off winners)
FC Clacton (Relegated)
STANSTED (Relegated)
SAWBRIDGEWORTH TOWN (Re-allocated to the Spartan South Midlands Football League)

The above changes are subject to appeal, but should be a pretty accurate guide.

Meanwhile, in what I feel is good news, the club has announced the following:

If you know me, you know that I believe continuity is a key element, hence my good news comment...

Looking forward to it already...
