if memory serves me right town were saved from dropping out of the fl when we finished bottom of the old 4th division and were re-elected due to the fact that the top non league teams ground was not good enough.
i think promotion and relegation should be based purely on merit otherwise where is the incentive? and once we get out of this god awful league hopefully it wont concern us.
Town have never finished bottom of the league, scunny have and they escaped that way. The season your talking about I believe we finished 2nd bottom and had to re-apply for election. |

Ultimately football is a result based business, and promotion etc should be based on that alone.
Enough said. The more I hear of this NLP paper the more I want to avoid it.
David Moyes has a few ideas regards this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17249760I know he is talking about the EPL but the idea/principle could filter down the levels.
"There's no doubt the game has speeded up but I'm not sure that has made for better football. " Think Moyes is right. How do you slow the sodomist down though ?... |

I think your memory is letting you down there. |

Does the criteria of quality of stadium still apply?
I think it applies to most leagues. |

Quoted from 2578
There's a letter in today's issue regarding the automatic promotion to the football league being stopped, and I think the sender has got this 100% spot on.
He starts by saying any club that cannot average more than 2500 fans should not be in the football league, and that teams like Grimsby, luton, and stockport, should replace the dagenhams, morecombe, Barnet, etc, staight away, with future promotion depending on a top two finish and sufficient support.
He goes on to say, and this is the part that I really agree with, is that it would be a travesty if the likes of Bradford, Plymouth, Northampton, end up in the conference whilst the smaller clubs remain, including possibly fleetwood, southport, etc, attracting less than 1500 crowds in div2.
He finishes by saying he wants the conference to be again what it was originally intended for, the place for the top non league clubs and those who aspire to be.
Anyone care to disagree?
Perhaps the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Why not just sack off the football all together and just turn it into a league of attendances. Or even better (for us), we could decide the league placings on alphabetical order - after all, that has as much bearing as which division a team should be in as attendances. I couldn't tell you the attendances of any games at all this weekend, I could tell you a few scores though, that's because, as it should be football is results based. All this talk on here about ours and other teams attendances is just embarrasing. Especially laughing at Scunthorpe. Here's the logic. If Scunthorpe are two divisions above us with inferior crowds then that just makes us look even poorer in comparison as they're doing better than us with fewer resources. You mention about being happy with a club being bankrolled to promotion - let's not forget that we're being bank rolled ourselves! |

Personally I think that is a pile of cack and if Town hadn't improved their performances from the start of the season, we probably wouldn't be averaging 2,500 crowds. |

A wage cap based on a clubs gate receipts would be a fairer system.

I think that's in place which is why, I think, that Crawley are shedding all their high earners |
