Two Tier Premiership


Recommended Posts

I'd say this season is the strongest league for a while. Now you have 5 teams competing for the play offs and not 4. It's always about luck of injuries, Tai this year and I'm sure (although i don't want it) there will be more to come this season. Keep a fit team and you can sneak the play offs. Ipswich almost came out worse on Monday when Brennan had his crash, i had flash backs of last season starting over again!

Five teams, Four places, it’s not really that exciting.

Five teams and two places, that would change the dynamic.

Always said too many play off spots, for a system of four play off spots you need at least a eight team league minimum, how can you justify finishing in the bottom half of the table (4th in 7) and still being potentially crowed champions, no credibility in that.

I said the other day, the team who finishes top should be champions, top four contest an end of season knockout cup, two semis and a final.

It seems that, like in football, the Championship is a far more competitive league than the Premiership.

Not as much as you think they do. If they pump so much money in, why did Chris Louis try to sell Ipswich to Buster a few years ago when Tru were the sponsors? Buster done a u turn a few weeks later and Chris Louis kept the club running. There is a poster here who I know you’ve spoken to because he’s told me, who has told you Tru are not great payers. 

Ipswich are a massive club with a massive budget  in UK terms..

Putting Witches, Tigers, Aces and Lions as the top 4 and putting Stars in the same category as Spires and Brummies is so unbelievably disrespectful to the Stars 🙄 you are absolutely crazy if you think Lions are definitely getting top 4 over Lynn

Looking at things as they stand at the moment.

Ipswich are the standout team, that seem to be most likely to finish top of the league.

The other 3 Play Off places will come from 4 teams.

Sheffield

Belle Vue

Leicester 

Kings Lynn

At the bottom 2 places  for me will be.

Oxford

Birmingham
