My save doesn't have this but maybe I'm not playing with enough tiers? https://uk.soccerway.com/national/england/isthmian-league-cup/20192020/group-stage/r55272/ Loving my season with Lewes so far btw. In the first round of the FA Cup, sitting in promotion. Gotta love lower league footy Best Thats because thats how it was for the 2018-19 season, looks like the format has been changed for 2019-20 season.

peaks0023 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I am trying to download your non-league database for FM19, and install but can't get it to open/extract after downloading the file. Firstly, using with win.rar it says, 'the archive is either unknown format or a damaged file'. I looked up answers and was told to repair the file first but nothing works. I was advised to use with 7-zip but this says, 'cannot open file as archive'. Any help greatly appreciated. thanks Kev. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdownunder Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hey Lionel Messi, I absolutely loved your FM 19 file. It was amazing work, especially post Christmas when you had sorted out the FA Cup bug in the second season and the problems with the Playoffs in Level 7 and 8. All the best with the file this season and I hope to see the file here sometime in December. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdownunder Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I get the information from Wikipedia about these leagues and following that you can always go to the individual Internet league pages. What will you do about the changes in the league structure for the following season? Step 4 of the national league system will have 8 divisions from 2020-21 and Step 5 will have 16 divisions. Alternatively Step 6 will go from 20 to 17 divisions. Surely this will be a nightmare to include in the rules on the editor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdownunder Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 The following PDF explains a lot of the changes: http://www.thefa.com/-/media/files/thefaportal/governance-docs/rules-of-the-association/2019-20/national-league-system-regulations-2019-2020.ashx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdownunder Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 For the 2019/20 season, each Step shall have the following maximum number of Clubs: Step 1 – 24, Step 2 – 44, Step 3 – 88, Step 4 – 140, Step 5 – 280, Step 6 – 400. Clubs will be placed in the most geographically appropriate division. At Step 7 the maximum number of Clubs in each division shall be determined by the Committee taking into account all relevant factors. From the 2020/21 season onwards, each Step shall have the following maximum number of Clubs: Step 1 – 24, Step 2 – 48, Step 3 – 88, Step 4 – 160, Step 5 – 320, Step 6 – 340.

I dont think i will be changing the structure for the following season, I think i am going to keep it as it is because all the leagues and cups will have to be changed at the end of the 2019-20 and re-created for the 2020-21 season to allow for the extra division at Level 8 also extra 2 Leagues at Level 9. Also the boundaries would have to be set and some of the leagues would have to have their boundaries adjusted once the location of the league is decided to accommodate the new league. Same would have to be done for Level 9/10 for the extra leagues going in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby_McDonald Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I can help you with two teams. Here is Silverdale Athletic (in green) v Redgate Clayton in the Staffordshire County Senior League. Here is Northwood Lane, Redgate's 'stadium' We sometimes walk our dog past when they play their matches. They charge £2 to get in for a SCSL match but you can just walk down the side of the community centre that is also home to the clubhouse and changing rooms. Note that this was a couple of seasons ago so it's an old kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The South West Peninsula League has moved up to two divisions at Level 10, their Division One’s no longer exist and have been replaced by two divisions each of the Devon County League and St. Piran League. The Wiltshire and Wearside Leagues have always been Step 7. But, Step 7 won’t exist next season and will become the top level of county football.

Big D Man Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Hi Messi. Glad you are making the lower league database again. I will be sure to download it, as I thoroughly enjoyed the FM19 one. Sorry that I didn't see this earlier, as I would have contributed towards gathering the information again. (I don't actually think I came on to the forums for quite a few months, so never saw this). Edited December 16, 2019 by Big D Man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
