Quote: DGM "Jeez, you're a positive guy aren't you? "cast to the wilderness" - haven't York just announced plans for a new stadium? Doesn't L1 have two promotion spots available?'"
Yes, there are 2 promotion spots.
Although with Toronto coming in this season, spending SL type cash on their squad, this effectively is cut to one place this season.
The point I was trying to make was that, there are too many clubs in that league that are at opposite ends of the RL spectrum.
Having clubs like Barrow, Keighley etc, playing against glorified University teams doesn't sit well with me, it's damaging them and threatening their existence but, if you like it, great, knock yourself out.
Personally, I think it needs addressing and we should find a better way of preparing new clubs for semi pro competition.
And using the phrase "cast into the wilderness" I would say is pretty fair.
Have you seen the attendance figures ?
Also, York's new stadium should have happened by now and maybe they would not have been forced to the brink. - is this fact or being negative ?
