When we played them in the NRSC earlier this year, they had quite a healthy following, however that was a one off Cup Game (which they won and looked good value) , although I felt quite a few of the support were friends with the players etc

Are they trying to establish a Rangers fan base a bit like Celtic Nation did , or am I way off the mark ?

I don't think so. Boro Rangers have been about quite a lot of years now with a large amount of junior teams. I might be wrong but I'm pretty certain they started out as a junior club and the adult team has folllowed more recently.

Given the name and badge i would guess its Middlesbrough who are the inspiration behind it.

Middlesbrough would be a superb breeding ground for a new NL club.

Wearside running with 17 teams this season Gateshead leam are in process of a legal complaint to Fa about CLS as they didn’t have there planning for lights in place by 31st March and northern league didn’t check this if they win Wearside will run with 16 and LR will be promoted

Seems a bit late on for appeals now

I would have no complaints. Division Two looks a lot better with an even number of teams in it, but time is getting on a bit now though...

Agm has been and gone and fixtures been released, surely a bit late now for a appeal

Probably is late for an appeal, but if they can prove that the process wasn’t followed correctly, it’s hard to reject it.

I believe that Boldon CA won their appeal on July 9th, last year. So still time.

I’ve made a slight error, LR haven’t appealed they’ve gone to arbitration. They weren’t allowed to appeal, only clubs that are promoted, relegated or laterally transferred can appeal. CLS Utd still doesn’t have planning permission to erect floodlights.

A bit risky with them been allowed in league with no lights let alone planning permission. Anyone been to there stadium, presume works must be well under way, season starts soon

I would assume that if planning permission has not been granted then the installation cannot start. In fact when applying for funding one of the main guarantees is that planning permission has been granted, pointless allotting funding if they haven't secured the planning permission. It would appear that there may be more to this than meets the eye.

Another stinker. The league have basically promoted a team that doesn't meet the criteria. In the past they've knocked back clubs because there Perspex was 20mil to small in a pay booth yet here's a club who are nowhere near sorted with there floodlights and they get promoted. Horrendous crack.

It’s not the NL that promotes them. It’s the FA and the NL only passes on their inspection and findings to the FA. My understanding is that the NL told LR about the situation and this led to the arbitration.

Exactly. So the Northern league have went out and inspected and ticked all the relevant boxes at Chester le street united and passed it on to the FA. To me they've ticked a box or boxes that shouldn't have been ticked.
