It's a disgrace that only 2 teams go up from the conference. It was more of disgrace when it was only 1 and the football league would find excuses not to let them up, but it's still pretty bad.
It really should be 3 teams. There's a much bigger gap between the bottom end and top end of the conference than there is between the top of the conference and the bottom end of league 2. Well from what I've seen anyway.
It was 0 for a very long time due to the joke of the "applying for re-election" every year.
I'd prefer to see 4 teams going down, with the conference split in to north / south and two from each going up. It would reduce travel costs for clubs and fans and increase attendances.
