Gerrumonside ref Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Regional conferences look to be the way forward at this level and make sense for a variety of reasons. I’m not optimistic that next year will be anything other than a mix of teams C&L1 that can afford to get off the starting line - hope to be proved wrong. Not sure at all on the future of Ottawa or New York now in this post COVID-19 world barring some major medical breakthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not getting hammered every week or so and a few more local rivalries. Not sure how I'd fit in new international sides, I'd be inclined to put them straight in the championship tbh. Ah - and there you have the makings of franchising. On the other hand, I see no economic sense in committing part time players to international travel.

Quite, especially at L1 level where even for the some of the northern teams its wages based on appearance fees. That said its a special opportunity for those lower division sides.

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made our first signing for 2021 today. http://northwalescrusaders.com/news/gav-rodden-on-board-for-2021/ I don't mind if it goes to conferences, so long as League 1 has a viable future.
