-New Brighton Tower sounds like a construction project. -Darlington St Augustine was in my predicted text. Why does my phone know they exist? Also they may be a Catholic Church and not a football team. New Brighton Tower actually was a construction project: Wikipedia Made to rival the Blackpool Tower I believe, they decided to form a Football club to help build the attraction of the area. Quite possibly the pinkest side the Football League has seen.
As for Darlington St Augustine's the church is where they got their name and players, although their owner actually owned a pub

Come for the knowledge bombs, stay to laugh at teams from Sunderland.

And Mexborough for me sounds like if someone tried to translate New Mexico into Britishness.

I look forward to the Darlington St Augustine players drunkenly stumbling over the pitch.
Also I'm now pretty sure the New Brighton Tower coach will slip a tourism brochure in the other coach's top pocket, when they go for the handshake.

Birmingham St George's vs. Darlington St Augustine's could be a proper Pub League fixture at Cape Hill Brewery
As a side note somebody has double voted on Long Eaton Rangers.
And a teaser, one of Darlington St Augustine, Halliwell Rovers, Mexborough & New Brighton Tower is already set to join the league next season. The others will have to go through the votes. If things stay as is, we'll each get to pick 2 sides to be elected.

Stoke won the newly promoted teams battle and got a vital, potentially future record breaking draw.

Should just state, there are 3 teams that can fold this season: Accrington, Birmingham St George's & Fairfield.
This will only happen if they finish in the bottom 3 though. Could be one of the most important things to follow in Div. 2 this season given the starts 2 of them have made
