Rushall Olympic appeal against placement in NPL
'
Rushall Olympic FC @ROFCOfficial
We have appealed our placement in the NPL Premier Division and our appeal will be heard in early June.
They obviously expected to go into the Southern League and that was their preference.
I would be amazed if their appeal is upheld. It's much more likely to be rejected especially as they've left it so late.
We'll see.
For me, the only way Rushall could be moved to the Southern League is if there's a team in the Southern League who would rather be in the Northern Premier. Very unlikely as teams have already started recruiting players based on the league they were allocated.

Rushall's appeal is based on the fact that as a small village club with an average gate of 483, two seasons in the National League North had severely stretched the club's finances. They were hoping that being placed in Southern Premier Central with its less travel costs and more local derbies would allow them to stabilise and heal financially. Their placement in the Northern Premier League will only put further strain on their finances said vice chair Nick Allen.
