If we were starting again. I would have amateur teams all over the country. But I would let the ones that are financially self sufficient work there way to the top.
My goal would to be have at least two leagues of 12 teams that are full time professional and that can move between each league without seriously jeopardizing any clubs.

Newcastle
Hull
Leeds
Manchester
Liverpool
Birmingham
London (x2)
Sheffield
Bristol
Nottingham
Cardiff
Belfast
Southampton
Dublin
Edinburgh

Our P&R based, "meritocratic" football system has produced a premier league containing teams from only 5 out of your 15. Of the English cities you've chosen, Sheffield, Leeds, Bristol, Hull, Nottingham & Southampton don't have top class football. Somehow, they've ended up with 7/8 clubs in the northwest, including small town northern hell holes like blackpool, wigan & bolton and no teams from the South of England outside London. |

I suspect that the SL will look very similar to that in 2012 |

....of all the teams in the championship I would rate Widnes as the best club (currently). Leigh and Halifax would be the next 2 best placed teams IMO, but since Widnes had their wobble, they seem to be a very well run organisation. It's all down to O'Connor and his wedge, but he does seem to have a "plan" in place that will make the club self sufficient. They are the best supported club outside SL and thei academy seems to be producing some good youngsters.
Ideally, SL will grow to 16 teams, bin the magic weekend and have 28 rounds with a top 8 play-off system. It will be a shame if 1 club gets cast aside in July......especially if it is Wakefield. Better to grow the competition IMO |

It's not going to work is it? Too many thick Northerners involved. Why did we split from the other code? As Charlton Heston said:
"What have we done? DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL" !!! |
