After Coronavirus - What next for league football? (poll)

[Vanni]

I’d happily go for two leagues of 12 clubs based on current league placings for a season. My only criticism is that you can’t promote 4 teams from one of the 12 team leagues - that’s ludicrous.

And I’ve no problem with splitting into a League 2a and a League 2b with a having teams who finished in odd numbered positions and b being even numbered positions. It doesn’t matter how it’s split really (we can do east and west, alphabetical etc), but as you say it’s about having a 22 game season as opposed to a 46 game one.

That's what I meant, and not promoting 4 sides from the same section. As you've probably guessed by now, I'm far too impatient and always in a hurry to get things over with*. Posting on forums is no exception so I do get misunderstood a lot.

*with one exception of course and that's, erm, the act of reproduction so to speak

£5k a week is obscene. No way should a fourth tier player be earning £250k a year.

From our league it would be easy to do, have league 2 north and south or alphabetically whatever, 2 lots of 12 teams, top 1 from each league goes up with mini playoffs for the 2 divisions to decide who else goes up.

Bollocks to regionalisation.

We’ll all be wearing cloth caps and looking like our Dads next.

Nothing wrong with cloth caps.

 

[Indian Dan]

Polyester shirts and slacks?

 

[AdamStag]

Long as we don’t get stuck with all the southern lot I’d be alright with it

Nicola Palios makes an interesting point concerning how the ifollow platform currently works which could be a huge advantage to clubs with large away followings when games are played behind closed doors.

Currently if Argyle take 1000 fans to Morecambe that's a huge pay day for Morecambe and Argyle get nothing.

The same game behind closed doors? Morecambe lose out on 1000 paying at their gate, plus ancillary spend. Argyle probably end up with seven or eight thousand people paying to watch the stream, when previously they wouldn't receive a penny.

She is calling for games only to be streamed on the home clubs feed.

Are you secretly a Northerner Chris - you might not be such a bad bloke after all

That’s not a bad idea. Not a bad idea at all.

From where i am sat, anyone from Bristol upwards is northern

under that logic you were a northerner when i was at Uni in Canterbury...

 

[Camborne Gills]

That depends when you were at Uni. I moved to Camborne in 1977.

unfortunately you haven't qualified as an honourable northerner then....

 

[Camborne Gills]

I lived in the Spalding area for a while in the 80s, does that count?

if it's between 1986 and 1990 yes....

It was actually from 83 - 88.

you're hereby invested as an honourable northerner then - and can now make fun of FGR with impunity..

This fella has it right. Well said Mr Argyle

it seams like one of the things he is saying is to effectively make the National League into Division 3 and having increased promotion between there and L2 (4 up 4 down....)

Probably the most sensible level headed thing i have read, since this shitstorm began.

[Boletus Edulis]

With regionalisation, if Walsall is in the north and Leyton O the south, the former is over twenty five miles closer to use. So no thanks.

was it scraps that were the bits of batter that fell off in the oil? Never could get that one.

 

[chipmunx]

yep

 

[Boletus Edulis]

That’s not a bad idea. Not a bad idea at all.

As we are the example cited, obviously I think it is a bad idea. A very bad idea

By my warped logic (see earlier post), there would only be 5 teams in the south!
