Ditto England introducing promotion/relegation between Division Four and the Conference. So you merge in the MSL/LSL here (and I know there's huge politics to be overcome there)
I don't think you can do it by creating a new tier and blindly hoping clubs will join it, which is what we're trying. And not very successfully, given this thread is running a year and we're no closer to that third tier.
