Kendal have been moved laterally to play in the Northern league division 1 alongside Penrith & Carlisle City. They are not happy about this & are appealing the FA decision

I can see why they aren't happy. Usually a much tougher league but also not a nice journey from Kendal. But very rarely does anyone win those appeals against the FA.

After a difficult few seasons, Kendal had got themselves back on a sound footing and were looking forward to a realistic chance of competing for promotion next season. Now, because of this arbitrary decision, all their forward planning has been thrown up in the air. Their ability to attract and retain players must have been put in jeopardy and the prospect of regular trips over the A66 in the middle of winter is not a pleasant one. In fact, the club must feel they're being punished. The FA are literally messing with their future wellbeing. But will they admit they might just have got it wrong when Kendal appeal? Don't bet on it!

Kendal Town FC have today been informed by the FA that the appeal against our lateral move to the Ebac Northern League has been rejected.

Not surprised but very short sighted by the FA. It just goes to show that those running the FA live in their own bubble.
Do they really expect part time players from Lancashire where their players are drawn from to travel to Bedlington or the like on a winters evening giving up half a days pay.the alternative is how many Northumbria players would be prepared to play for Kendal and travel 2 hours there and back.
I hope Kendal can survive but it will be no-thanks to the F A

I understand why they are unhappy but what was the alternative option for the FA? I can't see anyone else better placed in the NWC to move. I wonder if there was a better option in the Northern Counties East? But then that team would be pissed by the move.
