Stratford-upon-Avon Football Alliance's future is up in the air as numbers drop

A 126-YEAR-OLD league has dropped down to one division for the first time ever, revealed its despondent chairman.

And if the Stratford Alliance starts to cost more money to run than it brings in, Barry Cooke admits in 12 months' time it could be forced to fold.

It's a sorry state of affairs for the league which has just gained Charter Standard accreditation from the Football Association.
