No 5 to 4 promotions either and that also now runs August 2020 to April 2022. I suspect they are going to have a real shortage of level 4s in some areas, and the FA have said there may be interim promotions but as yet haven't said when, guess they will wait to see how bad the shortages are. Whilst there are no 4 to 3 promotions, or 4 to 5 demotions, every year L4s are lost through natural wastage. May well be worse this year as some might have got so used to having their Saturdays and midweeks back that they decide not to return. That was my reason for quitting L3, I spent a few months out after knee surgery and realised I wasn't really missing it, certainly not as much as I should have been.
Sadly there has been little natural wastage around my waistline. I suspect fitness tests may weed out a few more than usual after a two-year gap since the last ones.
Yes, that is indeed another risk for the FA. I can see lots of L5s getting supply league games next season, either promotion candidates or recently retired L4s.
