English football league system edit

I found this quote in a news article about LSS Lucarlys having to resign from the Central Mids League to join the Humber League - has the writer got their facts wrong or is the HPL actually higher up the pyramid than we think....?

"But it isn't all bad news for the footballers - following last-minute arrangements and meetings, LSS have managed to secure a place in the Humber Premier League for next season. Despite being a smaller league than the CMFL, it still allows the club to play in the non-League Pyramid in an FA Step 7 supply league to the Northern Counties East League.

If you go to English football league system the Premier Division is given as level 13. Step 7 is level 11 so there is a discrepancy of 2 levels. Either way the League is too low for their clubs to be notable. BlueValour 18:56, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

I quite agree, I was merely checking whether we needed to change the references within this article to the league's level in the pyramid..... ChrisTheDude 11:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hmm. The Yorkshire area is truly a mess at the moment and the situation can't be fully represented by a pyramid - it's just too haphazard at the moment. You have the overlapping West Yorks and West Riding Leagues, which are essentially level 11, but not Step 7. You have the Doncaster league and the Sheffield League floating around... Anyway, I don't think the HPL is Step 7. It's not listed as Step 7 either on the FA's site [1] or on Tony Kempster's. Furthermore, it would be very strange for Barton Town Old Boys to have a first team and reserve team both at step 7 (their first team plays in the CML Supreme). Also, it wouldn't make sense for LSS Lucarlys to drop all the way down to the HPL Div 1 if it's a parallel league. The HPL website claims its clubs are eligible for the FA Vase, although I'm not sure if that's true. I'd leave it as it is for the moment due to the BTOB reserve team and the fact that LSS Lucarlys dropped down to the HPL. It's a situation that bears watching. The area needs to be restructured, but unfortunately the pyramid has more pressing concerns at the moment. --Balerion 21:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
