Guys,
After talking to simon tonight, we both agree that the seasons are to short.. It seems that we are constantly doing off season work and the season is over in a flash...
SO...
We are proposing that the season be extended, now to do this we would have to merge divisions..
Now we've spoken about this and our prefered method is the following..
Div 1 (12 Teams) - All Div 1 teams and top 4 div 2 and top 2 div 3
Div 2 (8 Teams) - Bottom 2 div 2 and 3-5 div 3 and top 3 div 4
Div 3 (8Teams) - 6th div 3 and 4-5 div 4 and top 4 div 5 and 1st div 6
Div 4 (8Teams) - 6th div 4 and 4-6 div 5 and bottom 2-6 div 6
Now that means uneven divisions..
Ok, Changes to the plan...
Taking into account that most peoples thoughts were against the idea because their were no home and away rounds in D1 we have put some changes in...
Basically now all divisions will stay as we originally planned HOWEVER:
D1 will play each other twice
D2-4 will play each other 3 times with 1 round in each form being a Bye
Now in doing this means we would have 44 weeks in the season, thats without Playoffs and the Cup Final.. Im sure all agree that this is to long...
So the plan is that 20 of the 22 OD rounds will be scheduled as double headers...
The opening and closing OD rounds will be stand-alone games... With this, it will also mean that there will be 2 weeks in between each OD Round...
So basically the season schedule will look like this...
One Day
Four Day

We are hoping to get this out this season, However we want to get opinions on this first..
Give us your thoughts, whether they be good or bad... But please dont just go, hate it... If you dont like it, say why...
For the Record...
I haven't posted these earlier as i didn't want people's views clouded...
However with the majority looking like they are in support, here are how the new divisions will look...
