| EFL'whole game solution' proposals - Have your say 12:06 - Sep 21 with 2971 views | justanillusion |
The closing date is near where clubs must submit their thoughts on the radical proposals the EFL have put forward that will change our game forever regarding winter breaks, restructuring of the leagues into five divisions of 20 teams, regionalisation of the leagues and moving F.A cup rounds to midweek.
The proposals have been met with hostility by many fans who feel it offers a backdoor for Prem 'B'teams to get into the EFL, some clubs have thought it wise to ask for feedback from fans so they can voice their collective opinion when responding to the EFL.
When all clubs have replied, the 'whole game solution' will be top of the agenda to be discussed at the EFL AGM in June 2017, with changes expected (if voted for) to come into effect at the start of the 2019/20 season
For Dale fans who wish to have a voice on these radical changes below is a link to Walsall FC webpage (Walsall are one of the few clubs that have felt it right to consult with fans) there is a link at the bottom of webpage to enable fans to complete their short survey. So far they have had 600 fans respond.

The option of introducing Premier League "B" teams should never have even been on the agenda in the first place. As far as the vast majority of fans are concerned it was a complete non starter.
I'm personally not against expanding the leagues with teams from the national league as I think this is most likely a good thing long term. Making a league 3 also has the added bonus of making a drop out of the football league from our current position a whole lot less likely as we would need to be relegated 3 times!
Also interesting to note that if League 3 is introduced the teams in Leagues 1,2 & 3 would want to play as normal and without a winter break, whilst the championship clubs seem to want a winter break. [Post edited 22 Sep 2016 16:39]

Not clear that adding another division at the bottom would increase sponsorship and other revenues proportionately so that would effectively mean smaller shares for all. |  | | |

Does anyone who actually follows clubs that'd be affected feel that regionalisation is a good idea? I personally enjoy travelling 250 miles to see us play. The only folk I hear blabber on about North & South divisions "making sense" are usually armchair premier league fans who specialise in patronising any club that doesn't play at least half its games on a Sunday. |  | | |

And we already have a Division 5. Just legitimise it and carry on. What's the difference? |  |
