Rugby Town have been moved laterally into United Counties League once more after the FA provisionally announced their league allocations.
The listings are still subject to ratification at the annual general meetings of the various competitions.
The geographical change will mean yet another divisional change to add to the sideways switches dealt to Valley in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2015.
There will be a majority of new grounds for Rugby fans to visit in the UCL with only Daventry Town a known foe from recent years.
Valley did face Deeping Rangers in the FA Cup back in 2006 but otherwise Rugby have faced no-one else in the league in competition in recent years.
The first league fixture is likely to be on Saturday 11th August, a week after the first game of the season in the FA Cup.
