With nothing better to do with my time at the moment, I've realised that with the promotions and relegations at the end of last season that L1 and L2 have now become very regional.

L1 is now predominantly Nothern with only Exeter, Bournemouth, Charlton, Orient, Brentford, Wycombe, and Yeovil being the Southern softies.

With Plymouth, Swindon, Dagenham and the Gas (Ha Ha Ha) going down from L1 in May, L2 for 2011/12 is very much a Southern League with only Bradford, Rotherham, Morecambe and Accrington being truly Northern unless you want to include Burton, Port Vale, Macclesfield and Crewe.

With ever increasing costs for football in general, and travel in particular, is now the time to go back to regional leagues for the minnows I wonder ?
 
It would be brilliant to force more derbies.

The costs would be better.

You could have the two second placed teams play off for the last place in the nationals.

The real issue comes if Three teams relegated from the Championship are Southern, do no Northen teams get promoted?

Could central teams get bashed about from North to South to keep the numbers right?

I am sure it can work. It does when the confrance goes from North/South to National, but I dont know how?
 
Perhaps they should regionalise the lesser sides like the gas, so they can save in petrol and the Travelodge and that!
