THE INDEPENDENT puts a very good case for three up, three down. Hopefully the authorities will take notice.

Makes no odds to Town though as weve never finished 2nd.
You could make an argument that the likes of Eastleigh / Forest Green would devalue the league as opposed to Tranmere


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

I personally do think it's time for change. The 3 up, 3 down initiative needs to be adopted.

I think it's a matter of time before there's either another league introduced, or the 'National league' is made a football league division.

League 2 clubs would never vote for it....the only time they would want it is when they end up in the conference

Then maybe the vote should be taken out of their hands.

They might because if they do go down at least it makes it a lot easier to come back up!

Don't forget it  used to be zero, then one, then two promotion places so they have already voted for it to go up twice..

It's a good piece and I hope it increases popular support and a change in the rules.

I'd actually prefer league 2 and the conference to merge and become L2 north and south. But that's another story.

It makes sense for League 2 clubs TO vote for it.  Currently, if they get relegated they are likely to spend an average of 5-7 years in NL before they back into the League again.

Relegation can happen to big teams such as Grimsby, Luton, Bristol Rovers, Wrexham and Tranmere etc.

With 3 up and 3 down they have a 50% better chance every season of getting back into League 2. This represents a much better risk to all teams than the current arrangements.

It's fine as it is. Too many tinpot clubs are in the league as it is. We'll get out of it next season, then we'll never look back again.
