That's not a bad idea, they have it for some of the big football teams. For example, Barcelona and real Madrid have thief second teams in the division below and cannot be promoted. I don't see why it wouldn't work

I have been calling for this for years. We need to cut back to a 2 division structure and have feeder/reserve teams playing in the division below SL.

There are many many quite frankly awful players in NL2 and we are diluting the talent even though we do not have enough bodies to go round anyway.

The traditionalists will of course moan, but some clubs should not have a professional status.

Feeder teams is the ideal way to go, with possibly the stronger reserve teams making up some of the numbers. Look at the other countries and sports that employs this system, Spain and Germany in football are arguably the most technically gifted in the world, the Australians are far more technically gifted in rugby league.

The entire system needs an overhaul right from grass roots.

So do we just force a load of Championship clubs to move down for the greater good of a afew young players in super league?

Can't do it with the current franchising system in place. The compeition becomes a farce if the league below who are meant to aspire to be in the top league is half reserve teams.

What are clubs in nl1 & 2 doing atm?

I'll tell you what they are doing signing all the rubbish being chucked from sl clubs but the good young lads get snapped up off big side, There is loads of good young players coming through but they get 1 shot and if people dont like what they see bye bye this would be perfect to give everyone coming up a chance to show what they can do

Like i said before there are pros and cons but the pros outweigh the cons

Like I said they way to do it is by making sure smaller clubs are putting money into their youth so that the whole reserve league is strong.

The second league in any sport is always going to be made up of people who couldn't make the top league. The whole football league is made up of lads who couldn't get onto premiership first teams. Most of the premiership is overseas players.

The championship clubs need to develop their own players as do the smaller super league clubs.

But that is the point they have bugger all people coming to the games no money and are just surviving for the sake of it. We need to concentrate our efforts on SL and a feeder division.

The key to developing players is giving them the right pathways, a feeder comp including some strong reserve teams would significantly improve the chances.

Some of the clubs in the lower divisions offer nothing but history and that is what they should be remembered for not limping on to what will be the same predictable end in the future. Why prolong the agony and allow our game to suffer?
