I would go for two divisions of ten. Think our sport definately needs P&R to survive. Franchising needs to go asap IMO. Two divisions of ten would create a more competitive top level and something for those outside that to strive for. I have a feeling this would make too much sense for those tools at Red Hall though!

Crap idea and smith should keep gob shut.

Whilst that is true it is the professional clubs who have votes.Each non franchise club has 1 vote and each franchised club 3 votes.

Turkeys daft as they are do not vote for Christmas even if they could hold a pen.The status quo will continue and soon in our professional game we will be left with those 14. Soon after that those clubs will look close to home for talent and the overseas players will not be offered contracts because declining crowds for far too many surviving clubs will lead to cost cutting.

Nothing to do with having a crystal ball I am just using the evidence to date or maybe I am misinterpreting the data. 3 Divisions and promotion and relegation for me and that Magic weekend dustbinned.

Oh and because I am not anti expansion any team wanting to apply must adhere to the same rules as the present clubs.

You'll notice it's always people in a high position suggesting such cuts. It isn't John Kear calling for a cut in teams. It's the manager of the second placed team. Well Smith, are you going to be making the sacrifice? No of course not.

For the good of the game invariably means for the good of my team or myself in this sport these days.

May not be a bad thing if SL and SL1 would consist of 11teams.

There is a gap even in SL, and the 2nd Batch would be made up of the more prosperous Championship clubs.

Bring back the Lancashire cup too for which the top tier cannot enter ?

As already mentioned though, it is just a thing wanted from a coach of a top 3 SL team. I didn't hear Darrell Van der Velde saying this when Wire were pants in a poop ground !

Good idea if promotion and relegation every year.But not on a franchise way.
