I've felt this all season that 4 going down is too many.

The Conference is the only division that does this.

I appreciate the need to keep as many teams in Conf North & South as interested as poss, but I can't help but feel the same qualification that Alty had to go through - with a North v South play off - would be sufficient and fairer on the Conference clubs.

Anyone else think that 4 going down is too many?

(I hasten to add that bias against Alty facing the drop has a little influence on this!)

4 down is right I'd say, gives the North/South teams something to play for. Typical Alty; we come up the season it's the hardest with 3 games (all away!!)

But I don't think it will matter who finishes in the bottom 4, those 4 will almost certainly not go down the way the Conference has been ran the past few years. I think it also makes things more competitive, there are so many teams that could go down, it might not be decided until the last game of the season.

Who might be susceptible to the whims & fancies of the Conference board?

Crawley should be favourites. Anyone else?

[Daycare Dan]

I think they just put a pin in the final league table and say "Right what can we send them down for......"

Crawley and Weymouth (if they can't straighten themselves out) are looking a good bet. It'd be nice if FGR broke a rule and got sent down too.

Naughty Daycare Dan! How could you say such a thing about FGR??

teeheehee

It's four up/four down between League One and League Two.

i do wonder whether fgr would ever go down!!!! we always survive and no that isn't bcuz we have a man who likes getting dirt on other sides.

FGR down?  Well, they've only got a 3 sided ground - isn't that in breach of the Conference Rules - going down, going down, going down, repeat in finitum ........................
