Nil and void season leagues remain exactly how they are but all new teams coming in to play in a division below the two conferences let’s call it conference X
end of the season bottom 4 from premier relegated to new 1st division.
conference winners promoted to premier.
1st division made up of 4 relegated from premier, plus 2-7 placed finishes from both conferences.
2nd division made up of places 8-12 from both conferences plus top 6 from conference x
3rd division would be then made up of places 13-16 from conference A and 13-15 placed from conference B as well as bottom say 11 from Conference X.
Division 3 will maybe high in numbers if more teams wish to join we could play each other once then have a split.
that gives us a proper pyramid for season 2022/2023
Premier 16
first 16
second 16
third 19ish possibly
moving forward 3 up 3 down from each division, could even 4 keep it fresh and exciting, teams will find there levels within a few years.
Let’s be clear no one expected this, IMO this is as fair a solution to the situation we find ourselves in.
