When will league 2 clubs learn that most national league clubs will come up and be perfectly competent at that level, meaning with four league 1 teams entering, and two competent national league teams likely finishing midtable or higher, if you dont seriously step it up in a big way after escaping once, you will eventually get forced down the plughole, its inevitable

Oldham are utterly hopeless, so Scunny must be worse. How sad.

Oldham v scunny was the footballing equivalent of two bald blokes arguing over a comb…

It will feel mega being an Oldham fan but both them and scunny are so bad you’d imagine if there’s any justice in the game, much like last year, they will go down.

With Scunny’s debts , fans base ( or lack of one ) I really can’t see them getting back in the league for a long time

It was done 1 Up, then changed to 2 up due to pressure.  But this was to stop the number of unfashionable clubs from getting into the league.  This was over 50 years ago, and its about time this got changed, 3 up 3 down.

Not going to happen, though, is it? You'd have to have the agreement of the L2 clubs (as well as the others) and turkeys don't tend to vote for Christmas given the chance.

Not a chance we'd have voted for 3 up 3 down after we got back into the league last time around!

I agree, by why exactly is it up to the clubs? Ludicrous really. It should be up to the FA, for the good of football, not the EFL who’ll always be biased. It shouldn’t be decided by EFL members, it should be a decision imposed upon them.

I know it won't Maringer.

It would be good if the FA were to climbed out of the PL/EFL's pocket and start running the FA like they should.  I'm afraid the PL run football.

The league should align with EFL on promotion and relegation. I've said that whether we are in it or not.

It may make it statistically more likely for you to go down into non league, but the opposite is also true in that it would be easier to get back out again.

4 up and 2 down from league 2 has always struck me as odd and non league is more akin to a league 3 now, with many more professional outfits than was the case for many years.

Do the PL run football or have they just realised that the FA are spineless so just go with whatever they see benefits their product?
