No, none at all. Regional leagues already exist, but with none of your pyramid links and in the main they don't want anything to do with the LOI teams (Harps and Derry used to have teams in the USL, I think). They certainly don't want to be part of anything that could see them end up in the LOI.Quote:

It was not a bad return. If a structure such as the A Championship was kept in place, it was not unrealistic to expect in time that more clubs would have got involved. All new competitions and structures need time to get established.Quote:

Why is it an U-21 League where you can field 2/3 overage players. That was certainly the way a few years back.
The USL is ok but you are limited to the amount of 1st team squad players you can play in it and they can only play a certain amount of games.
