Online national league ?

[undisputed]

Ok, feel free to shoot me down quickly if i"ve missed something here.

We used to have Souts, Central and North divisions, and they all have groups, but no groups for leagues 1,2 and 3 ?? ?

Also, no league discussion threads anymore ?

Should there be, or am i just missing the point ? ?

I"m not sure what you mean...there is a lively Board for the Online League.

[AJDUK]

I"m sure what he means and I agree. If we have got rid of regions then a reorg into div1 2 and 3 seems sensible.

Well can someone explain it then...we seem to have regional clubs.

If you want separate boards for each division this seems a little pointless...the boards are cluttered enough...or at least enough that we"re thinking of losing more than one or two sections.

I know what you mean, and it has been asked several times to me by a few others, can they be renamed.

Basically instead of North, South and Central you would like to see Div 1, 2 and 3.  Am I right?

I should also add, to do that would mean a lot of moving about of posts and clubs into their correct Divisions, something that really Leigh is in charge of mainly although Ian, JB and I run each Region at the moment he is the one who makes decisions like this.

requested this in league 1.   i guess now too late for this season..but defo for S5

Yes!

[Paulie_D]

OK..I think I see what you"re getting at.

I think Des is the only one who can make these changes, and as we all know, he has a lot on his plate right now.

S5 online leagues might be completely different so let"s leave things as they are for now.

Franky, as long someone is updating the league/division tables I don"t see the need for separate boards for each league/division.

Like I said, we"re looking to reduce the clutter not just shuffle it around.

[MAIR]

I think it can definetely do with a revamp in season 5, would lessen the boards considerably if its done, but so far into S4 its not feasible, but I am sure it will be discussed at the start of S5

[SirPercival]

You would also have to consider the implications of moving those teams that were promoted and relegated each time.

[Paulie_D]

Also...and I don"t play in the leagues so I might be behind the curve here...but do these Regional sections still exist?

If not, Mary ned to change her title.

If they do then this is going to get really complicated with 3 divisions &/regional sections.

Like I said, have a child board for each "team" by all means...what is gained by further splitting these into divisions?

[MintTrav]

Separate boards for each Div - great idea. Let"s do it for next time.

[Paulie_D]

Separate boards for each Div

Why?

[MAIR]

Because each team is in their appropriate region, but the league is split into Divisions, therefore to find out what other teams u have in your Division u are flitting about between regions trying to find them.

If all the teams were put into Divisions instead it would make it more streamlined.

It was discussed at the start of S4 and we kept it as regions and now that this thread has been started and discussions ongoing the feedback will help for our discussions prior to the start of Season 5

[MintTrav]

Separate boards for each Div

Why?

So we can have a more logical structure where it"s easier to debate/congratulate/commiserate/humiliate with other teams in the same Div. If I"m honest, I have no interest in what happens in the other Divisions and I"m sure they feel the same - I couldn"t tell you who won Div 1 last time. It would be nice to have a central discussion thread for each Div as well as the team boards. Geographical teams are fine but the Regions are meaningless.
