Not looking great for Plymouth...

[BensGrandad]

I worked in the old III north and south it just meant teams in the midlands like Notts County sometimes moved from north to south and vice versa

Why can't the Blue Square Premier now be considered League 3? Most of the clubs are professional, most of them have played in the football league as well so it wouldn't make too much of a difference. Would expand the League Cup but that might be a good thing too. I don't see a downside. Also, sort out the daft 4 up from League 2 with 2 down. That is daft. It should be 3 up and 3 down from all 5 leagues, including BSP.

Don't necessarily disagree, but one of the issues for some teams is the quality of their stadia, I recall it being an issue for Stevenage a few years back and didn't Crawley have to do work as well?

Regionalisation can also cause an in balance, if you look at the Conference North you'll find teams like Bishops Stortford and Worcester City there. I also think the general consensus of both BSS and BSN is that the former is far stronger than the latter, often the promoted teams from the BSN struggle much more in the Conference.

I wouldn't mind sending 1 or 2 of our 1st team players who are not getting much game time, (Brez / Casper / JFC / Toby / Harley / Dicker) .... We've pinched some good players from them in the past and I feel we could help them out now

Would be a nice gesture and I hope it happens. I like the old Pilgrims and they are certainly a club of Championship stature.

Like them as a club but kind of think if they deserve to go down then that's what should happen. Let's all just hope they go on a good run and stay up by deserving it. Barnet can certainly piss off and not be missed, as could Portsmouth please

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

Plymouth stood by us when we needed help, so maybe we should return the favour?

 

[Hamilton]

Very much hope they stay up, but agree they have to deserve to stay up. Only hope they go on a run, and would be delighted if a loanee Albion player helped them. That said, of all the teams at the bottom I don't wish relegation on any of them. Come on Argyle, pull in the points.

I don't think a drop into division five is the disaster it was once considered to be. Half that league is now made up of old school football league clubs.

I have never thought of the conference as Division five before. If it was called that and was still part of 'The Football League' would getting relegated in to it seem quite as bad?

Which we have already done if you wasn't aware.

 

[Mackenzie]

Plymouth are a great club. I hope they can pull it out the bag.......come on Gus, remember where we got Barnes and Nooney (and Nelson) and give 'em a hand.

Wonderful insight there, Although no doubt a lot more interesting than your comments on the Albion.

Far more enlightening that the threads on the number of tickets sold

 

[portslade seagull]

Think 3 automatic down which in turn means 2 automatic up from the BSP with 1-play off place for the next 4 teams would be a better set-up
