   It depends on when they fold.
The National and lower Leagues are locked in place earlier than the top two. Without looking it up, I think the deadline is in August.

So, when Jersey withdrew, it was September, and too late to rearrange leagues - so the Championship went ahead with 11.

But, had they been a Premiership side going bust, even in September, theoretically a Championship side should have been promoted. But as they need to have passed a ground audit, they would not be.
