Sorry! After having read everyones views I have a suggestion. The league system would accomodate more teams - this is very important as the amount of new teams last year in Scotland alone was good, for it's size!! The promotion religation thing could be done at the end of every tournament. Why not have the bottom div1 vs top div2 etc. play-off at the end of every tour. This at least gives the chance for rapid movement if a team is truly better than their seedings. It also accomadates all the other pro's for the league system. At least this way a team could at least play a much higher ranked in the following tournament. It also supplies the incentive for consistancy (BAF and others!). The draw back still exists about not evryone getting a shot at one of the 'big-boys' (and I'm not just talking about Barnard's trouser length!). I honestly can't see a way of pleasing all sides of the argument but hey, that's Hughes' job.
