Hereford to go in the south if they go down?

There is a possibility that Hereford could go into Southern League Premier South if they get relegated.

Unofficial projections from Non-League Matters shows Hereford being placed in the southern section of the regional step three league. 



Historically, relegated teams from National League North go into the National League Premier Division or Southern League Central.

However, with the amount of "border clubs", there is always the possibility of lateral movement.

Of course, the projections change all the time and no one knows who will be promoted and relegated from the respective step two and three leagues.

It also projects the team that finishes second will win their league's play-offs. Currently, Gloucester are second in Southern Premier League South, but Farnham are just two points behind with two games in hand. Therefore, the latter has been projected to go up.

If Hereford do end up in the south, there will be far fewer local games than if they were in the central league. It would therefore surely mean that the club will have to look at training elsewhere. Their current base is at Studley, the training facility of Solihull Moors.

That is due to be being able to attract more players around the Birmingham and West Midlands area due to playing in a northern league. However, that will surely change if they end up in a southern league.

All if's and but's of course at this stage, and let's hope it's all immaterial and Hereford stay in National League North.
