Leagues One and Two to be split – good idea?

January 27, 2009

Does the thought of a trip to Exeter or Hartlepool on a cold Tuesday evening fill you with dread and fear. If so then you are not on your own and WIE salutes all those fans who travel such distances at this time of year just to follow their team.

One way which this could be avoided has been put forward recently and this is to merge League One and League Two on geographical lines. As a result, if you are an Oldham fan then you may travel to Bury or Accrington on a regular basis rather than Hartlepool or Southend. In the midst of the financial crisis this would definitely save cash strapped clubs travelling fees as well as those of their fans.

There is much to be said in support this idea and I for one hope that the League make serious enquires in to the viability of this. If this helps save even one club of administration then it will be worth it and as the governing body, they should be looking at every idea which could save clubs money.

Are you a fan in support of this idea or do you quite like motorway service stations and long away trips? Please let us know and lets start the debate!
