To promote or not to promote?

You should be promoted to the division above you if you place first in your group. The bottom team of each group should be forced to go down a division. Do you dare to agree to disagree? Or just flat out Agree?

Wow, what a concept. I think you're way off here though, Arse.

Alibaba: It may sound rediculous, but there is a great contraversy over this... the Rangers are a prime example by rolling over teams, winning the Pak, then denying promotion time and again... this division has two teams at the top of their respected groups, who don't want promotion. (although one is about to fall so it's not an issue)

I agree with forcing the team to be promoted, or they can opt out of the league and re-apply to Division 3. (however, there are other ways around moving up).

Maybe back when Coach and Rangerforever were involved this was the case??? Now that Stepchild has come back from school in Cali and Super Pipo came over from Inter, they've won fcuk all!!!

(Bloody hex's)

I agree a bottom team must go down, but if a team is not willing to compete week in and out in the next Division, why would the league want them to move up??? Makes zero cents...

I don't see why you guys wouldn't want to play div 1. It's not like the committment is anymore. I think you guys would have no trouble being a mid pack team and still letting all your guys play. With 20 teams in div 1 it's not quite as competitive. i don't know what winning the league everytime does for anyone.

Div. 2 is that exact right mix of competitive soccer and having a beer after the game. Div. 1 seems to be a little too competitive and Div. 3 has a least 3 or 4 beer guts in each starting 11. So if the Coachmen are at a point in their lives where they want to play Div. 2 soccer year in and year out they should be allowed that right.

Personally I would rather look forward to having to raise my game to play a top team like the Coachmen (knowing full well that my team could get hammered on the scoresheet) than to travel to Surrey to play a bunch of donkeys like the Stars .

I saw JackTheLad a few weeks ago in the gym training hard, no beer gut on that guy!!!

The Coachmen and Celtic would be doing way better then the Shite Tsawwassen Royals in Div1, Div2 should be a 20 team league, Div1 have 20 and Div3 whatever's left even if that means having 50 teams in Div3, the top teams should go up IMO
