    There one season in the Prem Swindon had about four strikers Fjortoft, Maskell, Andy Mutch,they also signed Frank McAvenie & Keith Scott so spent a few bob.

    Me, I'm going to be in the SW over Xmas, so I'm delighted it is then, couldn't have picked a better date.

     

    The train fares will be expensive, so anyone going from the NW may want to look at flights to Exeter/Newquay, which may be bookable now.

     

    when looking at flights to Exeter limited ones for around  £50 one way and all early morning

    If it was really simplistic, in that:

    • Ten teams as selected by the Premier League (both Manchester clubs, both Merseyside clubs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle, West Ham & Southampton) are invited to enter a new League 3 along with the top 14 from the Conference
    • League 3 is simply added to the pyramid between Lge 2 and the Conference
    • Relegation and promotion is unchanged except that the B Teams cannot be relegated from Lge 3 or promoted from Lge 1
    • Lge 1 solidarity payments to each club increase by £1m per year
    • Lge 2 solidarity payments to each club increase by £0.75m per year
    • Lge 3 clubs get solidarity payments of £0.5m per year

    How do you think that Simon Corney would vote (taking him as a fairly standard owner at our level)?

     

    Although simplistic, this seems a realistic offer to me. It would only cost the Premier League £54m per year or alternatively £5.4m per club if paid for by the 10 invited clubs. This is an absolute drop in the ocean for them but would be enough to turn the heads of enough clubs to make it viable. You could double it if you wanted, still nothing significant for the Premier League but way too much for most lower league chairmen to turn down.

     

    Even if a club like us realised that this could very quickly lead to relegation if the B Teams were competitive, we would simply see that we would still be £750k better off than by not taking the deal.

     

     

    Interesting reply this at a time when the FA are changing the Non League set up with an extra division in the Midlands & Essex area.

    Portsmouth on boxing day or something similarly stupid. 

    I'd take Wigan and Rovers boxing day and NYD

     

    Rather keep Rovers, Portsmouth & Plymouth to a sat.

     

     Got a feeling opening game will be a newly promoted side so going for Doncaster at home, Gillingham first away game Rotherham away Boxing Day & MK Dons away last game of season are turn proberly to play them on last day.
