‘ Looks like Merthyr will be coming up into the league next season with another striker who scores goals’.
Depends how the FA or whoever decides placing reads the map. At present 3 very southerly teams will be relegated from National League. With two further southerly teams joining from the Isthmian that would mean either one club from the present National South or Merthyr would have to go North. If you look at a map Merthyr is just more Northerly than the likely candidates of Hemel Hempstead, Enfield Town or St Albans. I wouldn’t bet against an appeal from whoever has to go North - unless Gloucester City win the play offs, they will probably be happy to go back North.
