Returning to regionalisation of the third tier would make the Championship harder to get to.

I can't see the Championship having any more than four relegation places so that means there would be 48 teams chasing 3 or 4 promotion places including those via play-offs.

That is going to mean automatic promotion for the regional champions only.

The play-offs will then either be one promoted from each region if the EFL are relegating four Championship clubs or, if it is only three coming down then play-offs would be one winner from a competition involving clubs from both North and South.

Yep, perfect. Exactly what the 'big' clubs want. Get rid of the 'likes of Argyle' and let's concentrate on the unstoppable avalanche of ££££ that has made the game so much 'better.' The sooner clubs like ours are annexed into our little regional leagues the better...for the elite.

Still, when we're playing Torpoint and Newton Abbot in the South West Super Duper Mega Premier Division, I hope everyone will be happy.

Regionalising of the lower leagues is something the "big" clubs as you call them will have no input, in fact I doubt the likes of Liverpool, United and City would even notice.

Exactly. The less we interfere in their business, the better, as long as we know our place and remain satisfied with the crumbs we receive from their table. Seen, but not heard right now. Neither seen nor heard would be the ideal result for most of the big boys.

it may not make much difference to argyle,exeter or torquay travel wise, but sure as hell will to many other teams, majority would vote it in, i feel

Standard of football in Devon and Cornwall is pretty average.....In my opinion....So don’t ever relate Plymouth Argyle in a Devon and Cornwall League...that’s just insulting.

Out of Interest does anyone know why North and South divisions were abandoned in the first place?

I'd imagine the fact that only one team out of twenty-four was promoted each season might have had a lot to do with it. With six successive second places in the 1920's no club knew better than yours how galling that could be.
We have regionalised leagues from the sixth tier down and I think that's high enough.

I’m reckon lower League clubs like Torquay probably don’t stay in hotels...go up and back the same day....when they go Barrow and Gateshead they do...but trips under 300 miles they don’t.

Exactly that. I've been in the media team at Gateshead the last couple of seasons. 18/19 in the National League there were 15 clubs in the South/London/South East. Gateshead used hotels twice all season. There were a few clubs who stayed in hotels before (and after) playing Gateshead, but that was mainly because they used it for team bonding and went for a night out in Newcastle after the game.
