naw, as long as he gets in before the season starts he's welcome. Shoot, if we get a few more we can go back to an 8-8-8 structure.

8 - 8 - 8? Nah, that's a terrible idea.

Whatever happened to the unspoken rule of the OTF elite looking after their own?

Equal numbers of teams in the divisions sounds good. I think some of the Dodgers have forgotten how to play by now.

I agree. The big break at the end so the 'Big Clubs' can finish their competition has been a bore for us plebs,

I'd prefer a top division of 10 and a bottom division of 12. Make the elite division a harder one.

You really need similar division sizes. For new players, keeping your players form up is critical, and getting them experience, so they get a good end of season update. Some of the lower leagues have received reasonable youths through the system (that turns off out of the transfer window) and had no chance to give them game time before the season ends. Avoiding that problem is critical, plus the 1m a week is pretty much going on keeping the teams form high at the moment.

So, even leagues please.

The end is nigh. Today's games wrap it up, and new season begins as soon as possible.

Will make a decision as to league structure/size when I set up the new season. 11/11 or similar looks most likely.

I like the 10/12 idea.

The title stays in Cardiff.

Big congratulations to captain insano.

Matej's lads need to take a good, long, hard look at themselves.

It has to be 1927 as the VIP (he says, ruefully).

I knew it was going to happen. My team was no where near on form during the vital stretch.

Still though... Dammit.

If consensus is for 1927 to win the VIP thingy, I'll go with that.

Sorry, Matej. After all your hard work running the league, some glory would have been well deserved.

Runners-up medals aren't bad. It's like Chelsea will be this year. (or Man U, I suppose.)
