The Martyrs had played in the Western and Southern Leagues since being reformed after Merthyr Tydfil’s liquidation in 2010.

And the club had been aware the potential make-up of the teams next season at sixth tier level – and the large contingent of teams from the south of England – could see them having to plan to head north.

Three south of England sides, Dagenham & Redbridge, Ebbsfleet and Maidenhead, dropping out of the fifth-tier National League would have given organisers a headache in how to split clubs.

The National League confirmed its allocations for the 2025-26 season on Thursday, although says those are subject to appeal.

A Football Association spokesperson said: “We make every effort each season to allocate National League System [NLS] clubs to the most geographically suitable league possible.

“The clubs are allocated to a league based on the step in the NLS that they will be playing in, and their location in the country. These allocations are subject to appeals.

“Geographical suitability continues to play an important part in NLS allocations, and we always try to balance this against the number of teams in each division to ensure sporting integrity is maintained.”
