Badly is right that points limit would have to be 40 so perhaps if we select a pool of 16 british young lions they can go and stay at no.7 on a 2 to 3 average all season depending on ability.  4 of the 16 acting as injury cover, sure someone will come up with a list of candidates. 

NL North

1. Berwick

2. Edinburgh 

3  Newcastle

4. Redcar

5. Scunthorpe 

6. Belle Vue

7. Stoke

NL South 

1. Eastbourne 

2. Cradley Heath

3. Isle of Wight

4. Kent

5. Mildenhall

6. Plymouth 

7. Coventry

Could be branded the Northern/Southern "Super 7" series 

Home and Away twice 

Top 4 from each league progress to play offs so winner North plays 4th in South and so on...

One cup competition with all clubs combined also

Very much a less is more

Coventry?

gutted!

Watching on my phone in the pub or restaurant it is then

I don't think that will be on our agenda somehow, much as it pains me to say it.

Unless of course the lads suddenly find some unexpected form that hasn't been apparent recently. 

We can live in hope!

Possibly, but maybe Poole have already offered Bomber a place for next season if he behaves himself.

I know nothing just wanted to make it 7 sides in north and south but now we've lost stoke, remove Coventry and NL could run with two divisional leagues of 6 clubs in each.

Could run say 2 sets of fixtures against the team in the same zone and 1 set of fixtures against the opposite zone giving 

16 home fixtures per season

Last home meeting of the regular season was on the 5th and the play off semi final set for the 26th

We have often seen these 3 week gaps coincide with difficulty in securing the win upon our return to action

It would IMO be desirable to have some kind of meeting at home on the 19th to keep our eye in

Unfortunately cant see it happening....
