Leagues beginning to get promotion / relegation sorted. Clearly geography often dictates who comes into the IPL, but a first stab:-
NLS down: Dover , Dartford. Likely Havant / Taunton / Eastbourne / Hemel / Torquay into Southern League? INL(Isthmian North) up: Lowestoft (again!). Playoffs: Bowers & P, Felixtowe, Brentwood, Bury. ISC (south central) up: Chertsey. Playoffs: Marlow, Leaterhead, Sothall, Westfield (in Woking I believe), Raynes Park Vale (SW London) ISE (south east) up: could be any form Ramsgate, Cray Valley, Sittingbourne, Three Bridges (Gatwick)

Dunc, in the South East, you have missed out Chichester who are already qualified for the play-offs - one of Ramsgate or Cray Valley will definitely come up (it's advantage Cray at the moment); you'd expect the one that finishes 2nd to win the play-offs, especially with home advantage guaranteed, but they are a bit of a lottery and Chichester's form is very good.
Aren't Taunton more likely to go into the Southern League than the Isthmian if they come down?

Good possibility that Havant will end up in the Southern League and I'd be very surprised if Chertsey aren't placed in the Southern League too. As for the promotions out of Step 7, especially the Isthmian Premier then Kidderminster being relegated from the Conference is probably the only thing that's going to stop another unpopular placement in the Conference North for another of the promoted Isthmian/Southern South clubs. Mousehole are only a point of the play off places in Southern South and if they win promotion to Southern Premier, that will be another hefty trip for the West/North West London clubs in the Southern Premier South.

Eastbourne definitely into Isthmian and obvious Taunton to Southern South.

Yes Eastbourne most likely in Isthmian. Others in Southern League though. I’m sure the authorities will throw a curve ball in somewhere though.
