I'm surprised that since we were a part of the consortium of teams asking for the playoffs that no team has since lead the charge on getting a second automatic promotion spot.
The playoffs made a huge difference to the last 2 or 3 months of the season. There's not as much of a gap now between L2 and the conference, especially seem as there have been a number of more established teams dropping out of the league.
I think the only people who would oppose another team to drop out of the league with an automatic place added to the conference would be those in threat of relegation each season. I'd hope that we don't see that as a big issue and would like to think it would be an extra incentive for us to keep trying to improve, however tight the budget is.
