wearereds Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 IMO is a league similar to ours in standard/size etc. Been speaking to mate over there (Basle Fan) and hes explained how they work it. At winter, the top 8 teams (in a 12 team league) split from the bottom 4. The top 8 play each other twice more until the end of the season. The bottom 4 then go into a league with the top 4 teams in the 2nd tier, and again play each other twice to determine who plays in the top devision next season - so potential for 4 teams to go up/down each season. Now i much prefer your standard league, abody plays abody and thats that, no split, no fecking aboot. But IMO what the swiss have is much better than our league split. Much more excitment created throughout the whole season, more teams changing devisions (we all know how sh*t it can be going to rugby park for the 10th time in a few years) and always something to play for.

OneZanderDiamond Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Magic. I'd like that. Looking forward to qualifying for the Top 8 Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 We'd be top 8 every year with Jimmy at the helm! Bring it on! Link to comment
E-P-K Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 You should see the Dutch second division. 8 play off places. Dutch 2nd Division table Link to comment
minijc Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 We'd be top 8 every year with Jimmy at the helm! Bring it on!Gives him bigger scope for sh*t results in the league. JFJ- Justice for jimmy. Link to comment
Jocky Balboa Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Think I prefer the current set up than that Swiss cheese. Agree. It would mean WM and JC lowering their expectations by aiming for "Top 8" greatness, hence the potential to actually drop another two places. No thanks, let's move along now. Nothing to see here.

NorthernLights24 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 You should see the Dutch second division. 8 play off places. Dutch 2nd Division table Its actually crazier then that. Telstar who are 16th in the table have qualified for the play offs cause they won one of the "periods" during the season. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eerste_Divisi...%9309#Standings Link to comment
