Team Bath have had to resign from the Conference South as the Conference will not allow the team to win promotion to the Conference National. The club has also had to give up its membership of FA Cup competitions.

Not sure, but it's a funny set up, as only students play, maybe they don't have a proper ground etc.

As far as I know they do have a ground. Perhaps it is something to do with only students being allowed to play?

Perhaps being elitist contravenes the spirit of the league..

They dont have a ground just a fence round the pitch. No seats or anything. Shame they cant share twerton park or use the Rugby ground.

They do play at Twerton Park...... I think because its only students and no contracts etc they cant enter competitions as they are not signed as Footballers, they are only students. That said if they register players the same way as other teams I dont see an issue to be honest.

They Groundshare with bath city. Bath city get about 500 every week, team bath get about 50. They wouldn't be able to cope much longer anyway, even if they did get promoted.

With regards to players, the actual university first team made up of people studying for their degree first equates to team baths reserve team. I think the first team is made up of your average lower level drop outs, who they offer token degrees to. I think andy caton is the current left back

TB attendance have nothing to do with it. All their matchday receipts go to Bath City, plus City get to use TB training facilities.

A lot of local Non-League fans hate Team Bath and will no doubt will over the moon with this not unexpected news.

It was a good run for them.
