I havnt read deeply into this yet but apparently The Football League are proposing a new system of five leagues with twenty clubs each. Reason being to boost club finances and ease fixture congestion.
My first opinion of this is how can playing four less home games boost finances. A fifth league yes but why not five leagues of 24 clubs because face it congestion of fixtures ffs. What are floodlights for then??
Hopefully clubs will not accept this tripe dictated to them by the idiots in suits.I havnt read deeply into this yet but apparently The Football League are proposing a new system of five leagues with twenty clubs each. Reason being to boost club finances and ease fixture congestion.

Hopefully clubs will not accept this tripe dictated to them by the idiots in suits.When do they plan to do this. & TBH not too sure how it would work. Who would they promote &/or relegate into this new division.

From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!If you must have five divisions of twenty, then make the bottom two equal in level but geographical to save clubs money.

Cheers JR. Just this minute read it.
A division four North and South could be a good way to cut out travel for clubs and fans but regionalism of leagues can throw up problems as it does in the non league pyramid. Especially for clubs in the Midlands or North Midlands/South Midlands areas. Why cut the numbers down. Why not just make it four leagues of twenty four clubs. The Conference is already an unofficial fifth division so why carve the leagues up for the sake of it. Hopefully the clubs will throw this idea out.
As fans we should just say no to this ridiculous crazy idea.
Nothing needs radically changing apart from the football league having a bigger share of the cash from sky.
It is not the football league that needs to be shaken up but the Premier League that leaches millions to overpaid players and agents.
An average Premier League players wage who may only play in half a dozen matches could be the equivalent of the full wage bill at Accrington or Hartlepool.Always been against the policy that throws out big football league clubs into the wilderness of non league.
We as a club were elected based on size and fan base etc however we have had big clubs like Stockport and tranmere chucked out in favour of micro clubs like fleetwood and Crawley .
No disrespect to these clubs but it is a lot harder to gain promotion from the non league now than it ever was but to lose vital revenue from away support when clubs this size lost their status wAs something I never understood.
Reshape the league to four divisions of 26 and I agree regionalisation would be a good thing in theory.
I am in favour as we need to protect and enhance our grass roots footballAlways been against the policy that throws out big football league clubs into the wilderness of non league.

Tranmere and Stockport were not booted out, they were relegated due to being poorly run at that time it is how a league pyramid system works. So you want to determine league status by crowd size, well we would have never been as successful as we have under that structure. Fleetwood, Crawley Cheltenham etc are league clubs by right and because our pyramid system at all levels is the envy of World football. It works it,s brilliant it does not need fixing.
Some good points Nuneaton latic and I am a traditionalist also but that was all chucked out of the window 24 years ago when that dreadful greed league was created.
I’m always saddened when traditional clubs leave the football league pyramid and it almost like they become forgotten on the national media which is wrong.
Bringing them into an enlarged football league will generate more interest in the media, create more media opportunities and increase away support generating much needed revenue for cash strapped clubs.
Whether we like it or not football is a business and the game cannot stand still especially if your like Latics and surrounded by four of the biggest clubs in the country.
Change is inevitable to protect the leagues
