Noisy fellas in the basement.

All 72 football clubs in the National League today took the unprecedented step of supporting a letter to the English Football League (EFL) Board requesting a vote to create three promotion places into their league. Specifically, the National League is calling for an amendment to the regulations to allow “two-up” to become “three-up” in line with the rest of the football pyramid.

They are asking for this change in time for the forthcoming 2025-26 season.

I know they'll get told to fuck off, but thoughts?

We'd lose the entertainment value of Barnet finishing 2nd and messing up in the playoffs every time.

Jokes aside, it should happen on condition that financial rules in the National League more closely resemble those applied in League 2.

Provided those who voted against it last time don't go up if they are in the third place.

So that probably fucks York, Oldham, Rochdale, Hartlepool and Southend. Which if so, fuck 'em.

From the comfort of League One, sure why not.

When we were in the Conference with just one up, Phil was one of the driving forces to get more promotion places.

Sure it might mean you fall out the "League" but increases your chances of coming back up again, so don't see it being a massive difference. There's a lot of side in the conference and League Two now that have been in both at some point. The established League sides should have a size advantage over the traditional non-league sides anyway.
