Thanks, I was going to spend way too much time Saturday night trying to make
a non-League Special Edition so, I am glad you are covering it this year.
Oh, and, a reminder all non-League relegation at every Step is subject to
reversal for various reasons. Step 4 was really bad, as they were supposed
to relegate something like 10 clubs and ended up sending down only 2, and
one of the clubs asked to be sent down.
