Conference restructuring - the latest

[David Holden]

The FA National League Systems Committee today met with The Football Conference to discuss The Conference's membership extension proposals.

For now, it has rejected The Football Conference's application to extend its membership for 2003-04.

 

However, the FA says that it has always supported the move to create a regional two Feeder League structure into The Football Conference, hence The FA's own proposal sent to clubs and leagues at the beginning of 2002.

 

However, given 63 out of the 69 Premier League clubs from the three current Feeder Leagues have indicated their interest to join a regional two Feeder League structure administered by The Football Conference (as indicated by answers to a Football Conference questionnaire), The FA National League System committee will be asking The Football Conference to provide a more detailed proposal that can be further considered by both The FA, and the clubs.

I think it's a great idea to cut costs. Just the sort of reason why we shifted from Southern to Isthmian.

 

Given the current state of finances in football, the league may even like to consider reverting back to the old Div3 N & S if there are still enough clubs left in a few years....

....preferably whilst we are in the conference so that we can be part of it!
