The West Midlands (Regional) League (WMRL) has this afternoon informed clubs that they will continue as normal next season operating Divisions at Step 6 (Premier), Step 7 (Division One) and Step 8 (Division Two) of the National League Structure.

This after the FA stripped the WMRL of their Step 6 league late last year as part of the National League Structure re-organisation.

Following yesterdays announcement by the FA that the 2019-20 season was to be expunged from the records the proposed changes to the structure with four clubs being promoted from the Premier Division into the new Step 5 structure which contained two more leagues nationally were deferred until the start of the 2021/22 season.

Part of an email sent to all WMRL clubs this afternoon from League Secretary Neil Juggins said: "I would just like to clarify that the West Midlands (Regional) League will be operating as usual next season (Premier Division, Step 6 Division One, Step 7 and Division Two, Step 8) as all the NLS changes have been put back until Season 2021/22."
