Perhaps it's time for Southern League officials to consult their RAC Road Atlas - if they did, they might well discover that Chasetown is situated further north than both Rushall Olympic and Willenhall Town.
So whatever possessed them to send Willenhall and Rushall to the Unibond League and not Chasetown is beyond me - unless of course Chasetown's Chruch Road ground has miraculously been shunted 10 miles down the M6!
It's the latest in a long line of appalling dictates despatched by the Southern League this season.
There was the debacle over the fixtures.
Then both Halesowen and Chipenham Town were left fuming over their treatment in the Premier Division play-offs.
But this latest relocation really takes the biscuit.
I suggest the clowns running the Southern League should do the honourable thing. Pick up their road maps again and plot the best course - out of office!

Good of the Southern League to make Halesowen Town play their Southern Premier play-off final against Team Bath less than 48 hours after beating Chippenham.
Word has it, that the Southern League have organised a corporate day to coincide with the final, which takes place at Bath City's Twerton Park ground.
Obviously it means the tie is heavily slanted in Team Bath's favour.
It becomes clear that nothing would be allowed to prevent the corporate event going ahead.
It makes you wonder who the Southern League is being run for?
