On the back burner...

So on the back burner for another 9 months then until June next year then.
Happy with that outcome for now, although I have no real objection to the two Glasgow teams joining the EFL, considering the Welsh are already in it anyway.

no not for 9 months - its not going to happen for the forseeable future. Kavanagh and Harvey were very clear on this at the Fans forum and took a lot of (difficult) questions on this at the Fans forum

Wasn't the proposal of the introduction of League Three mean that the other leagues would be smaller? meaning less games per season and in turn less income to the existing clubs? If so, I can't see any good news in that.
I believe the idea was to compensate with extra TV money. So in theory a club like ours should not be worse off
If they stick to there word financially speaking that's re-assuring. I'm a bit rusty on the subject of late, so out of curiosity what kind of a reduction in games were they proposing?, for example (not including cup competitions) from once a week down to once very 10 days or so?
If the divisions were all down to 20 teams then that would be 8 less leagues games for us. So no more trips to Bradford or Oldham on a Tuesday and a couple of spare Saturdays. If they were programmed as set weekends you could have any postponed games on those spare Saturdays.
Thanks Rigsby.
From a purely selfish perspective, that doesn't sound to bad, as I never make long away trips on a Tuesday night anyway. and like you say, any postponements or any cup replays could be used to plug the gaps.
What is the benefit of reducing the league and the number of matches played?
I don't see what the issue is that they are trying to solve.

Supposedly it's so teams don't have to travel so many miles a season, although this seems to conflict with the fact the Checkatrade trophy forces us to travel extra miles for games we don't want.
They want to create an extra division, so that would mean 100 clubs. Would mean less mid table mediocrity as you could go from relegation danger to play-offs in a few wins. Obviously you could equally slip down from safety in a bad run.
Personally I think they could then make the 4th and 5th tier regional as this would save on expensive overnight stays and fans are more likely to travel away now days as long as its not Hartlepool.

I have miss read it then, the article gave me the impression this was some kind of 1st phase by the EFL in the discussion process.
I wasn't referring to solely the Premier League B teams, but changes in general (such as league 3).
The 4th paragraph begins with: "All clubs, who will potentially vote on a final proposal in June 2017".
