2014–15 Southern Football League

2014–15 Southern Football League

Football league season


The 2014–15 season was the 112th in the history of the Southern League, which is an English football competition featuring semi-professional and amateur clubs from the South West, South Central and Midlands of England and South Wales. From the current season onwards, the Southern League is known as Evo-Stik Southern Premier, following a sponsorship deal with Evo-Stik.

Following the liquidation of Premier Division club Hinckley United[1] and the resignation of Thatcham Town from Division One South & West at the end of the season,[2] plus the resignation of Vauxhall Motors from the Conference North,[3] Fleet Town were reprieved from relegation in Division One South & West.[4]

There were subsequently further movements after Worksop Town resigned from the Northern Premier League. Wingate & Finchley had initially been relegated to Isthmian League Division One North, but were readmitted to the Premier Division. Knock-on effects included Ware moving back to the Isthmian after first being placed in the Southern League Division One Central, and Hayes & Yeading United moving to the Southern Premier after initially being placed in the Isthmian Premier.[5] Hayes & Yeading replaced Halesowen Town who had been moved from the Northern to the Southern, and were moved back. Corby Town returned to the Southern after first being placed in the Northern, and Stourbridge moved the other way. Ware were replaced in Division One Central by Bedworth United, who were transferred from the Northern Premier League Division One South.

However, Hayes & Yeading United were once again moved, this time back to the Conference South, when Hereford United were expelled from the Football Conference, and demoted to the Southern Premier.[6]

Premier Division

The Premier Division consisted of 24 clubs, including 17 clubs from the previous season and seven new clubs:

Hereford United F.C. was wound up in the high court in London on 19 December 2014, after it could not be satisfactorily proven that the club's owner had sufficient funding to pay the club's creditors. The main creditor was HM Revenue and Customs.[8] The club's record in the Southern League was officially expunged on 5 January 2015.[9]
