Championship and below 2015/16

So it's confirmed that I have League 2 football to look forward to next season with exciting trips to exotic locations such as Hartlepool and Carlisle. And possibly Plymouth, Bristol and Newport depending on promotion and relegation.

Personally I think it's time to restructure the lower two divisions into two regional leagues with the top two from each being promoted to the Championship and four being relegated. Have a Division 1 North and Division 1 South to cut down on travelling for clubs and more importantly fans. Would save money for the clubs as well especially for a club like Plymouth that have some massive away trips to the north of England.

I can see the logic in terms of costs but wouldn't it get a bit "samey"?

A very sensible suggestion.
I wonder how many Plymouth fans would/could make the trip to Carlisle for instance or vice versa .................. it's just ludicrous.

It probably wouldn't end up being a massive to help to a club like Plymouth or Torquay who would still face long trips to places like Colchester and Southend but for the majority of clubs the travelling distances would be hugely reduced. I suppose that it would all depend on which clubs were in the bottom two divisions as to where you would draw the line that separates them. And it doesn't always work, as has been proved by Lowestoft Town who got put into the Vanarama National League North when they were promoted due to the number of clubs already in the south so they face some long trips but generally it should work OK if a bit of common sense is applied.

so, going by the two national leagues two up from each and four relegated ,
what happens when the bottom four to be relegated are all from the north,or south?

You don't travel away do you.....can't beat a Saturday away day oop norf!!!
 
the nerves are jangling already in prospect of a win for the mighty Brighton tomorrow.
its going to be a huge match for both teams but i think that Brighton are going to nick it as the Boro will be playing against themselves as they only need a draw and that will im sure affect the way they set their stall out. Brighton know that a win and only a win will be good enough so will be taking it to them big time .
i can see it being an absolute bruiser of a game and possibly a red card or two being branded by the ref. im hoping that Barton will revert to type and start chopping the legs off people and the ref giving him the signal to take an early bath .
whatever happens it will be bloody close and the winner will deserve it on merit as they will have earned the points over the season ,the season isnt one game long ,but the outcome of that season is one game long so lets hope for a goodun .
CMON YOU BLUES.
