Trident Leagues back National League's campaign for third EFL promotion spot

The Trident Leagues (Isthmian League, Northern Premier League and Southern

League) are supporting the National League’s 3UP Day of Action.

All fixtures on Saturday, November 15th are to kick off at the later time of 3.03pm.

This involves 104 games and 208 teams across 12 divisions in a show of silidarity as the top tier of the National Leagues System pushes for a third promotion place to the EFL (English Football League).

The 3UP campaign already has the backing of the 72 National League clubs and 93% of supporters across the football pyramid.

The Trident Leagues stand together with the National League in asking the EFL to Put Football First and grant a third promotion place from Step 1.

A joint statement from the Trident League said: “We (Isthmian League, Northern

Premier League and Southern League) fully support the National League’s 3UP

campaign.

“We believe an additional promotion place to the EFL is essential for the future of

the National League Pyramid."

Phil Alexander, National League interim CEO said: “We are pleased to have the

backing of the Trident Leagues for our 3UP campaign Day of Action on November

15th.

“It’s a powerful gesture that demonstrates what we’ve said from the start - that

getting 3UP will benefit English football as a whole.

“It means we will now have 232 clubs and 232 sets of fans and communities across (and) in every corner of the country all together in solidarity, fighting for what we feel is right.

"Together we can Put Football First.”
