As silly as it sounds
Promotion relegation suddenly brings huge interest into the second tier
How it would work
Promote winner of Southern League and winner of Northern League to make it a 18 team competition
Then we have a 4 way playoff last two teams v the two SL and NL winners with the top 2 teams promoted
Where NL v SL GF counts as one match just as the last regular season encounter counts for the bottom two teams
