Confirmation that the Isthmian Premier for 2023/24 looks like this
Billericay Town Bognor Regis Town Canvey Island Carshalton Athletic Chatham Town Cheshunt Concord Rangers Cray Wanderers (at Bromley) Dulwich Hamlet Enfield Town Folkestone Invicta Haringey Borough Hashtag United (at Bowers & Pitsea FC) Hastings United Hornchurch Horsham Kingstonian (at Tooting) Lewes Margate Potters Bar Town Whitehawk Wingate & Finchley
Elsewhere, Horndean have been placed in the Isthmian South East alongside Chichester and Littlehampton etc., whilst Pagham have been moved back to the Southern Combination and are also reprieved from relegation and remain at step 5.

The FA seem to have next seasons league allocations out early which is good so there is no talk about what league Rocks might be in which usually goes on throughout May and June.
Pagham are lucky to have escaped relegation by coming back into the Southern Combination League Premier Division and not League One.
I see Birmy's Horndean have been moved across to the Isthmian South East Division. Wessex League winners normally are promoted to the Southern League Div 1 South. I suspect Horndean are the furthest club west geographically that has ever competed in the Isthmian.

I suspect Horndean are the furthest club west geographically that has ever competed in the Isthmian. Regarding whether Horndean are the furthest westerly club that have played in the Isthmian, Bashley had a two season spell in division one after the 2004 reorganisation of the pyramid. In their second season they were joined in the division by nearby Lymington & New Milton. Going further back, Yeovil Town had a three year spell in the Premier following relegation from the Conference (then Gola League) in 1985, losing on each of their three league visits to Nyewood Lane. They then also had a two year spell back in the Isthmian from 1995-97 before returning to the Conference.

Newport County were listed in an Isthmian League Handbook I had way back, but they never made it.
As for Bognor, that looks a strong division next season. Not meaning to detract from ambitions but if we finished top ten I'd be more than happy.
