The former Midland League clubs formed the new Premier Division which sits at step 7 of non-league football (or level 11 of the English football league system), a feeder league to the National League System. The former Staffordshire County League sides formed Division One and Division Two, which are at levels 12 and 13 of English football. Division Two has at times been regionalised, which is currently the case.
In 2023-24 the league operates four divisions across three tiers, the Premier Division (step 7), Division One (step 8), Division Two North and Division Two South (both step 9).
Tunstall Town received national and even international attention in the 2010–11 season, after losing all of their games, and conceding an average of close to ten goals a game; however the team's first eleven did consist of players as old as 75.[1][2][3] On 22 February 2014, they ended a 171-game winless run with a 3-2 victory over Betley Reserves.[4]
