should the prem have more teams in next season?

i personaly think a few teams (u no who u are) are playing in leagues that are not good enough to test them, for instance div 3 has a handfull of teams that would hold thier own in the prem! surely that paves the way for a 16 team prem for next year? your thoughts please

Depends if they are still going, also, you need to make sure that it doesnt weaken other divisions....you would think that the league cant expand too much more (another division would be silly), so maybe if new teams are brought in then a few can be bumped up?

16 too many, fixture congestion would be horrendous. But would support 14 teams!

agreed i think 14 would work well come on the league sort this out be great to have a big prem think there is a few teams out there not in the prem that would hold there own so im all 4 it

very difficult to arrange though. As I said in an earlier post last week, many teams would suffer from the huge fear factor and rather fold than going into the Prem

thats terrible but probably right i do think u will be able to get 14 in the prem but then would it disrupt the lower leagues? in my opinion no lets say for instance that it did get sorted out i think the lower leagues would actually benefit because u wouldnt have as many teams in the divisions that really should be playing at a higher level therefore it would surely make all the divisions much more competitive and a lot more even but thats just my thoughts what about everyone else what do u think??????????

i dont understand why teams do that though as i would have thought the aim would be to start a team up and evenyually build a squad strong enough to make the prem and have a go at the big boys on a weekly basis. i know thats certainly the aim of western anyway however its another question if we will make it there or even attract enough players of a quality to enable us to do so.

just really dont understand the teams down the years that have won trophys all the way through the leagues giving it the big un all the way up only to throw there toys out when there not winning 10-0. Surely they would relish the chance to try and topple an advance, scrappy or prem sports just as glenny did yesterday all be it in the cup.

all about players unfortunately and whilst we that run the clubs want to succeed at the highest level, it's not the case that some of our players share the view! That said, if the Prem is too small (as it has been for the last 4-5 years) then the better type of player you try and get in will only ever want to consider the likes of Scrappy or Advance and if they're any good they will certainly be approached by them!

simple then ban advance and scrappy from signing any more players on for 2 years!

its always been the same you start off in the lower leagues then as soon as the prem beckons certain players decide they would rather join another side thats in league 3 or below that leaves you with no option but to fold it,s not right but it happens

Said it before - would rather play mid table prem every week than div 4....but got to earn the right to dine at the top table!! Folding because you have done well enough to reach the prem is a joke and shows a lack of spine to be honest...in most cases anyway....

agreed no backbone at all

12 teams would be ideal for each division if possible

Depends how quickly you get knocked out of the cups!!!

wasn't there a well known team that used to play in pink that defected from the alliance rather than play in the Prem?

Agree with comments, would be great to have a bigger Premiership, however, teams like Polska, Leicester Accies do not get the respect they deserve, both teams (as well as a few others) have been going strong for years...whether winning or not...these are the real teams, the ones that survive...not the ones that fold once they start playing with the big boys and are scared of losing...all of you-you know who you are...hang your heads in shame!!!

yeah u do that at least last the season ay!!!

bigger prem would be quality but there is an issue with teams not having the balls to face the big guns in the prem, still dont get the fear factor have a go at them and you may get something we were unlucky against advance and arent scared of playing scrappy we are looking forward to it.. defo need a bigger league make the division more competitive for everyone else

dezza mate ur might sort of bloke well said could not agree more its the challenge that really stands out for me and im pretty sure thats why u boys joined the alliance league

its exactly the reason we joined and it was our players that wanted to join as they wanted to know how good they really were as a team, we won the lsl prem easily in the end it only went to goal difference cos 2 teams dropped out. would have been easy for us to stay in that league and keep on winning but it was boring beating teams heavily each week and even though we've lost 2 already this season the lads are enjoying the competitiveness alot more as they feel like they are in a proper game of football now...

yep and thats what its all about take a leaf out of sporting highcrosses book everyone couldve stayed in lsl and won it every year but no they heard the alliance was better quality so what did they do join the alliance to see.. its good to see this sort of thing and fair play to them proper blokes in my eyes

nah nah Greeeedy thats Kirby Muxloe, Real Muxloe were an old side who stormed through the divisions and when they finally moved up to the prem they folded.

Just like CAOB did if anyone remembers them? Although I shouldn't slag them of to much as we have some of there players!!

The League have done there best to increase the Premier Division but teams get put in who are not worthy, get spanked and then fold, at least this year there are no teams that will get spanked every week.

There will be the odd week when we play Scrappy and Advance when you might take a beating but other than that the other 7 sides in the division can all beat each other on the day.

oh right yeah i agree mate by the looks of some of the results should be interesting for 3rd 4th and 5th all the rest after scrappy and advance have chances hopefully tho there will be more teams in the prem as would make it a good league and teams would have to play well for longer to win the league

Don't think Muxloe ever got promoted to the Prem - sure it was more a case of 'if you put us in the Prem, we'll fold'
Had some good battles with CAOB, but Tom their manager was a good guy and got seriously let down by some Class A bottlers who started throwing in the towel as soon as they stopped winning
