The problem is that would equate to more than 20 in the Championship. That's too many games, particularly for players with a job. It would double the away games that the little clubs would have to fork out to get to as well (cornwall etc).


You could divide it into five four-team regional divisions, which’d reduce travel demands/costs a little too.

Home and away vs teams in the same division, home or away vs teams in the other divisions - 22 games. Division winners and three best runners-up in the play-offs.

Or 2 x 10 would be 28 games.

Fiddly, admittedly.

Greed of super league clubs? It’s not like they’re flush with cash and hogging for themselves. Many super league clubs are on the breadline. This is why they always make these seemingly short-sighted decisions, they need cash today.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”

Super League reserves padding out the gaps in League 1 for one season seems the most likely outcome, hopefully with some money going to the surviving League 1 clubs to help them fulfill the fixtures. Maybe even rejuvenating Newcastle, I think they pulled out of the current structure, maybe a better one draws them back in?

A full restructure for the should then be planned in the next 6-8 months which ties in with IMG grading and provides a fair structure for every pro club, not just the privileged few.
