Wheels coming down, windows open, ground noticeably closer. Windows open? This isn't Ryanair. I mean those window cover things, should be allowed to keep shut if flying over south Bristol

We can now see the landing lights on the runway, lets hope we get final clearance to land from airport control. Lets hope we land on the right runway

I guess there would have to be some enforced changes along the way as you are never going to keep the equal amount of regionalised teams in their own designated region
Needs a revamp whatever....any system that says Gloucestershire is in the north of England is insane. Weirdly, there's only one club, Bishop's Stortford, in the National South that are more northern than Gloucester and that's only marginal. Given how heavily weighted to South East England the division is, it makes more sense for GCAFC to be in the North league.

don't say that I'm flying with Ryanair in August. I'd change flights. That'll cost you about £150 in admin fees.

Seems an odd point of view from hamer given we just got promoted and surely the extra revenue from being in league 1 is substantial vs league 2 so the only beneficiaries are league 2 teams? I'd rather he looked after our interests! Unless he sees championship as a certainty in next couple of years

Exciting stuff!
Good job it's not him making the decision about league restructuring though. Lower league clubs and their fans surely aren't such peasants that they need to remove all long trips. Frankly I don't think England is a big enough country for professional clubs to moan about travel, it just needs more common sense from the folks who do the scheduling.

Not sure why travelling to teams up north would add more cost to the club than an extra half a tank of diesel for the coach.

Has Steve Hamer really thought this through?
There are so many negatives in this Div 1S & Div 1N idea and few if any benefits, especially to a club like ours that has just achieved Div 1 status.
The N-S split would always be contentious as mentioned in other posts.
Retaining 3 up from each Div 1 would mean 6 relegated from the Championship – no chance of that being accepted.
Reducing the Div 1’s to just 2 promoted (like the Conference) would be a backward step – unacceptable in itself and the prospect of 4 big’ish clubs (e.g. like Bolton, Charlton) dropping down to a league containing some of the current 4th tier smaller clubs (e.g. Newport) would be unacceptable and pointless.
England is a small country geographically with excellent transport systems that nowadays the clubs and fans can afford to use. Things have changed since the old Div 3N&S days. It should not be beyond the logic of the fixture generator to avoid long distance commutes in midweek. Even still, this ‘problem’ cannot be the significant reason for restructuring the entire Football League.
There seems to be a general movement, no doubt originating from the Premier League and Premier League wanabies to diminish the status of the lower leagues and therefore the lower league clubs themselves. The prospect of ‘B’ teams, feeder clubs, semi-pro clubs etc. is raising its ugly head again.
I don’t believe that Steve Hamer’s proposal is in the interest of BRFC or The Football League in general and he should think carefully about the consequences before putting forward such ideas whilst representing our club.

Not bothered we'll be in the Champions league by then. I feel sorry for our red friends though, must be a real worry for them. Actually dont they only take about 12 fans away for a midweeker.

so our new chairman speaks loudly about the way things should be done after about 6 months in the job....
he's a business man not a football supporter so as far as i'm concerned, he can take his ideology into a closet, and stick it where the sun don't shine....
sideways....

Any chance of our Fans Directors making our views known before he presents/champions something that we all agree is not in our best interest?

Its one mans opinion. I wouldnt panic as 60 odd clubs woyld have to vote for it If they did you would assume they think it in the interests of the clubs as a whole
