The sore wrist is your problem, sounds like a repetitive stress injury that I don't wish to hear about.

Thanks for the insight to the both of you.

Thats just settled an argument at work.

Cheers but is there any promotion or is it by invitation as I see it?

Clubs are invited to apply and the Beaks decide on who gets in based on Attendances and Finances and the potential for Club expansion.

Just like the way clubs get into the lower rungs of the Isthmian, Southern and Norther Leagues in England.

e.g. Bottom two clubs in the Isthmian League Div 2 decide to drop out, say Epsom and Clapton, then, as far as I know, the top teams in the Combined Counties league are invited to apply, and then the top two teams on FA criteria, say Westfield and Ottershaw & Chobham get chosen out of the 20 or so applicants.
