It's all nuts to me. All this striving to push on and who dose it benifit ?
Going back a bit Newton Spurs,Teignmouth, Dartmouth and many more were South Devon Premier League.
Now gone up the ladder and maybe hoping to join Buckland in the Western League.
But a few good clubs went while chasing the dream, Newton Abbot, Formerly Newton Dynamos being a prime example.
When the Devon County League was formed, the side i had played for Buckfastleigh won it with all the side coming up from Plymouth.
With no local players the people from the town soon lost interest and once the money dried up, well you know what happens.
Now it's so many levels Devon league North and South,Peninsula North and South then Western League .
Maybe lack of interest in local football now but The South Devon League has lost 3 Divisions.
Gone are those times of 8 divisions, happier days for me.
