On what basis? Their ground looks better than Wakey's for a start, and has more cover

Not big enough

Not big enough

Why not give them 3 years in SL to sort it out then? Better that then leaving clubs in there who have already had their 3 years.

In fact I think any club who has managed to win through to SL on the pitch should be given a 3 year stay of execution to sort it out

This thread isn't about SL, that's been done to death.

It needn't be the same setup, but I don't see how sides going into administration on promotion every year is doing anyone any favours. Should be one bigger division open to all sides meeting criteria, not the lets put 2 or 3 clubs into administration a year setup

Barrow would never have gone up, they'd fail ground criteria.

I think you are being deliberately evasive bowes. How is it any different whether a side goes in to administration on promotion or trying to win a tick in a box to try to get the chance to apply for a SL franchise?

Administration is the same surely no matter what the circumstances that cuased it. Clubs in the top half of the Championship are all chasing the dream of getting a tick so that they can apply for licence, not guaranteed promotion. That tick only lasts for the 3 year period that they are in for licences and then they have to try all over again. That to me is more destructive to clubs financially than the old P & R system.
