Presume they have more money, shows how much of the north is the poor relation generally. Northen clubs make up about 43% of the football league clubs (depending on what you class as northern). That's pretty incredible since it only makes up 23% of the population of the UK and is less densely populated than the south and midlands.

Presume they have more money, shows how much of the north is the poor relation generally. I wonder how much of that is to do with Covid being more prevalent in the north and southern teams advancing without kicking a ball? I want a NL or NLN/S team as I have a chance of getting in as press. Other than that though, a really low team at home as it has a good chance of being on TV and the hosting club gets most of the TV money I believe.

That's pretty incredible since it only makes up 23% of the population of the UK and is less densely populated than the south and midlands. I think that’s the built in advantage of being there first*, and goes right back to the foundation of professional football. It seems to be slowly rebalancing. It’d be interesting to see the trend of promotions and relegations to/from the FL since it became automatic. * ironically new money from oligarchs and global TV audiences is probably slowing down the trend to an balance of football league clubs within England since they are more likely to go for already established clubs, which are disproportionately northern. Sort of like the slow demise of the aristocracy - new money married into it. Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

So we don’t want say Plymouth as this would more then likely require an overnight stay,more expenditure, with no income at all.
