they aren't bothered what the pyramid committee want or think all were very strongly opposed and when put to a vote 12-0 was the outcome. DSL have been doing a feasability study and they feel they have enough interest from the different leagues. All coast league have denied wanting any part of it although they maybe keeping that to themselves. If it goes ahead there really isn't anyway of the DSL staying within the pyramid.

Good information that mate will feed it back at our meeting tomorrow cheers

Cheers for that, I can't say I'm really in favour of it, I assume there'd be cases where teams don't want to go up aswell as down. If a club get relegated who are completely inland, and there's no room in the County League, it pretty much knackers the Coast league idea doesn't it

There is room as the winner of the playoff goes up so a space is created

Is a pyramid a straight line?County League and Coast league are on the same level purley to do with traveling distances that is why Marsden wanted to go into the coast league but as there where no spaces they have to go into the county league.

Why could't they have shifted a team geographically on the border of the coast league to the county one?

because no one wanted to go in the opposite direction. At the coast league meeting it would have been put to all teams if any of them would like to join the county league to help Marsden or themselves out, clearly no one expressed an interest. So you can't then move a team who hasn't been relegated or done anything wrong to make way for another team.

It wouldnt have been a problem had the play off won by a coast league team. As it was a county league won so marsden had to replace them. Bit shit for them but those were the rules when it was introduced so I can't see what they are whining about.

To be honest the longest trip they will have to make is Evenwood which is comparable to the trip they would need to make for Norton if they where still in the Senior league.
All the others Willington, Crook, Esh Winning, Brandon, Langley Park, Ushaw Moor etc are 10 mins outside Durham.

County League and Coast league are on the same level purley to do with traveling distances that is why Marsden wanted to go into the coast league but as there where no spaces they have to go into the county league.
So if it were purely down to travelling then Marsden should have been taken into the Coast League instead of driving past all Coast League clubs on a Saturday afternoon and we would just have had leagues with odd numbers which we previously had till Hylton came back,the fact that Marsden juniors have been allowed to stay in the Senior league PROVES that the leagues agree there is a problem with travelling.This is backed up by twelve months ago with the Seaham Harbour saga when the Coast league said as they could cater for all Seaham sides and it made geographical sense they had to move lock stock and barrell and not leave there juniors and third teams in the senior league,why did the County League not stick out for all of Marsdens teams this year,surely because it doesnt make sense having teams from the County league especially junior sides travelling all the way to Marsden

The juniors don't come under the pyramid system so they were entitled to stay within the county setup. Odd numbers can be fine if you can fit them in enough weekends but the simple fact was the Coast League was full up. Why should teams in the coast league have to make sacrifices because Marsden where relegated. The simple fact remains is Marsden signed up to the pyramid system and they new the potential consequences of relegation by the sound of it if they had run their club correctly they wouldn't have been in this position.
Newton Aycliffe are in a similar position albeit lower down the pyramid system they accepted the decision and didn't go on like spoilt brats and like Marsden should do they're awaiting for a position to be freed up.
If Marsden are of a decent standard anyway they will spend one year in the county league and get promoted backup
The junior travelling point is a good one as it would be a nightmare trying to get a junior side through Durham for a 6pm start given that most parents won't finish work til about 5pm.
The solution would be to scrap the junior league system as it is and create junior leagues on a geographical basis.
For example, my club Bill Quay would continue to play our senior cricket in the Coast League but would play our junior cricket in a Gateshead/South Tyneside district junior division with say, for example - Felling, the Fell, Swalwell, Blaydon, Whickham, Greenside, Shields, Marsden, Whitburn, Boldon CA, Boldon CC.
If the senior promotion/relegation system is going to work properly the mid-week travelling issue needs to be sorted and this is probably the best way to do it.

Travelling should not be an issue in the NE. Its a feeble excuse.
Anyway getting back to Marsden, many moons ago we played them in a coast league game and i hoyed the ball in trying for a run out and hit Davy Porritt right in his baldy head as he was trying to get the bat into the crease. Anyone who knew Davy will know what i mean.
