Surely if a club finishes second from bottom out of eight clubs in the most recently completed league, it is possible to justify them starting in the second tier in the re-arranged league format?
It is bizarre that considerations of the current season are not being used, but if they are deciding which clubs are going to be where next season in this moment in time (making the current season irrelevant), it can be reasonably argued that Doncaster Belles should start in the second tier.
(Apologies if I'm missing something in all of this).
What Doncaster Belles did in the 1990s is irrelevant to what league they should start next season...
Yes, but promoting clubs who finished lower than them (and not promoting teams who finished above that team) is completely illogical. As is making a decision on who plays where after only one game of the preceding season.
