Please post your thoughts on all things King's Lynn - this season's promotion, next season in the Blue Square Conference, anything you have a view on.

It seems King's Lynn have been unsuccessful in their written request to the F.A asking to be switched to the BS South. After the Conference AGM was held on Saturday the following decisions were taken: Hucknall Town and Vauxhall Motors will remain in the Northern section due to Boston and Nuneaton's failings, whilst Dorchester Town regain South membership at the expense of Cambridge City.

Redditch United, who had been earmarked for a stint in the Blue Square South (after four Northern clubs were demoted from the BSP) have now been re-instated in the North.

Worcester, another side moved from North to South, will remain in the South division.

This whole process has been a drawn out-affair and I'm sure we haven't heard the last of it yet! This is the revised line-up for both north and south divisions respectively.

Blue Square North:

AFC Telford United

Alfreton Town

Blyth Spartans

Burscough

Droylsden

Farsley Celtic

Fleetwood Town

Gainsborough Trinity

Gateshead

Harrogate Town

Hinckley United

Hucknall Town (reprieved)

Hyde United

King's Lynn

Redditch United

Solihull Moors

Southport

Stafford Rangers

Stalybridge Celtic

Tamworth

Workington Town

Vauxhall Motors (reprieved)

Blue Square South:

AFC Wimbledon

Basingstoke Town

Bath City

Bishops Stortford

Bognor Regis Town

Braintree Town

Bromley

Chelmsford City

Dorchester Town (reprieved)

Eastleigh

Fisher Athletic

Hampton & Richmond Borough

Havant & Waterlooville

Hayes & Yeading United

Maidenhead United

Newport County

St. Albans City

Team Bath

Thurrock

Welling United

Weston-Super-Mare

Worcester City

As a result of the above King's Lynn striker Danny Bloomfield has said he could leave the club because of the amount of extra travelling they will have to do next season.

The Linnets look certain to be playing in the Conference North following the league's Annual General Meeting.

"For me it's an extra 4,500 miles to what we did last year," he told BBC Radio Norfolk.

The 25-year-old former Norwich City youngster scored 20 goals last season as Lynn won the Southern League title.
Bloomfield who is in his second spell with King's Lynn played an important role as they clinched Conference level football for the first time in their history.
He lives and works in Ipswich and says he might not be able to commit to the distances involved.

"I've got a young boy now, seven months old, and I work quite long hours as well."
"It's just a juggling act of trying to have a life and play football at the highest level as well as for the club I want to play for," he said.

King's Lynn had wanted to be placed in Blue Square South but the league decided to keep the club in the northern division instead.
