The
line-up for next season's BGB Premier
Division has been confirmed by the
Southern League - although there could
still be changes before the season
begins.
The
major talking point is that both Corby
Town and Cirencester Town have clung
onto their Premier Division status
despite finishing in the automatic
relegation places.
Corby's
reprieve was made possible by Farnborough's
automatic two-division relegation
from the Conference South to the BGB
South & West Division due to going
into administration while Boston United's
two-division tumble from Coca-Cola
League Two saved Cirencester.
Other
notable movements include Stamford's
transfer to the Unibond Northern Premier.

Premier Division Play-Off Winners
Bedford Town did not enjoy their first
season in the Conference South and
endured a season which culminated
in relegation back to the BGB Premier
while Weston-Super-Mare join the Eagles
back in the Premier.
Meanwhile,
four new teams have earned promotion
to the Premier Division for the 2007/8
campaign with Brackley Town and Bashley
winning the Midlands and South &
West Division Championships respectively.
Old Western Division rivals Bromsgrove
Rovers and Swindon Supermarine also
ensured their placse in the Premier
with Play-Off wins.
