Idea being floated in Mail on Sunday (I don't read it but a friend does!)

Would take teams from National League plus one to replace Bury.

Think we would have some better away matches and avoid dreary southern trips, but presumably only two places for promotion to League 1. Possibly one via playoffs.

Also we have a lot of Exciles who would miss out on games

Could be a case of newspapers wanting to fill space rather than a credible proposal

2 up 1 down from each division to match the current system.

It would certainly save on costs for clubs and should increase revenue too but would probably lower the standard

Town do have a lot of exiles but we don't get any money from people who only attend away games. We would get more money from extra away fans at BP though.

I suspect it’s just a nasty rag trying to fill column inches and justify their existence.

Can’t really see it being a good idea, there’s no need to do it.

Is this MOS that slagged off nurses for making a video, accusing them of neglecting patients, dancing Instead? Anything to sell a piece of poor quality bog paper. Don't believe anything these lazy journalists make up.

No it is one of a number of news outlets reporting suggestions that some or all the leagues could be split north and south.

Try having a proper look before hurting your finger bashing the keyboard in disgust.

Whatever you feel about this, I think there is a significant chance of it happening, maybe for a limited time?, say two seasons?

Then what 12 down from each North and South ?

I can see clubs jumping at that

That's OK, just looking out for those less fortunate.

Can't see it happening, and If spectators are allowed next season it will be a gradual process, so
I'd be surprised if away fans are allowed next season anyway, as travel restrictions of some sort may still be in place.
