With Coventry moving up, what will be left for the Midlands Prem? I know Derby struggled at times last season, and I think Gloucestershire failed to field by the end of the season.
Is there a league in 2011 worth running?

In short no. The midlands regional and premier will end up merged no doubt about it, whether they call it a Premier or a Regional I don't know. I'd have thought there'd be about 8 teams in this, though I guess if they drum up 10 they could follow the North East's split season format

THere will be two phases to the season, the first played in regional pools. The top teams will then compete for the Premier Title with the remaining clubs competing for the Regional Title.
Final club numbers are currently being sorted and fixtures released soon.

Sounds good because the top 4 will prob be a step above the rest and at least some of them will want to prepare for the Southern Conference and yet on the other hand we want to reduce travel and also prepare for the permanent split into west and east midlands as of 2012

I find the above comments very offensive!!
How does Cov moving up diminish the comp?
How do you define strong teams??
Last year (and to be fair the year before as well) Northampton have excelled on the field but have also produced (at my count 5 professional young players). They have now stepped up.
Leicester have improved loads (I am biased) and have in 1 year made 3 young players dreams come true with pro contracts and another 4 under close observation.
Birmingham and Bristol are loaads better than in previous years!!

The problem's not the standard of the 4 sides you've mentioned it's the fact that there's only 4 Premier division standard sides so it can't be run as a division. That is a very valid point about players stepping up for Coventry forbabyear then clubs playing at the same level, guess that's a problem of prolonging a competition that's being scrapped.
