Non-League Oxford City

But wouldn't that also involve current EFL teams voting for the move though, and diluting the current TV money even further?

They wouldn’t vote for it unless it came into effect when a new deal would need to be renegotiated anyway is my guess.

That said, I suspect we’re heading for a cliff edge where the PL goes solo in terms of streaming rights (which is why this new massive Sky EFL deal is being done to begin with), the Championship clubs eventually want to join them to become the PL2, and then the EFL rights are worth a fraction of their current value, at which point it needs a third division just to be worth peanuts rather than breadcrumbs.

Yes I totally agree. It's just what has been doing the rounds recently within clubs in both leagues and has come about due to the clubs carbon footprint.

It is always doing the rounds tbh. Not sure how much it saves when in the south you could have somebody going from the South East/East Coast down to the far South West as will happen in the Conf South regularly next season.

On the Midlands League, if keeping 2 Divisions it may be better overall to look at a East/West split rather North/South.

Yep. If Oxford city stayed in the NLS or moved to the NLN they would of been doing more travelling next season than they will now in the National League premier. Lots of South west teams in NLS next season.

Those saying City will eventually make the FL, what are you basing that on? No club as small as them has ever been promoted from the conference/national league.

What about Forest Green Rovers? They're based in Nailsworth, which is no bigger in population than Thame is.

They were a struggling conference team at best until the owner started pumping money in, that would obviously change the situation at City if that happened but it would be a strange thing for a rich owner to do, try to compete with us.

They are also effectively Stroud's team as well.

What happens when United get to the premier league or become an established championship team and we sell out the 16k ground on the triangle every game, do the other people wishing to watch some live football of this city which is growing at a fast rate go and watch Swindon or Reading?

We will extend the ground to Stratfield brake one way and Cutteslowe park the other and have a stadium that holds a million. Probably don’t want to be stuck at the back though so best to get a season ticket now to reserve a good seat.

That's a relief.

I mean that it will take a million of us pissing into Kidlington gardens to make the area really smell like the home we are now used to.

To aid that there will be no toilets in the ground, the front gardens of Kidlington will be used instead, toilets are not ecologically sound so that will please the progressive alliance.
