Please don't all maul me at once! Its just an idea, however I have spoke to a few managers already who agree but just thought I would throw it out there. I have spoke to CREW also who agree the idea is viable but will need the support of all nations to do and will need alot of work in the background The Idea - Scotland, Ireland and Wales all merge into one league(s), prem, DIV 1 etc etc, to become the Celtic League etc this in theory should keep more players active and also create more opportunity for competition. However they all retain their nationalities, meaning they still have NC and NCA and their own nationality so nothing will change regarding the players and youths etc. It will simply move teams into different leagues. This will in theory if done properly also boost the smaller nations youth academies because we will have more active competition and more players joining or rejoining the game. I think, like in our league now, if you get promoted to the SPL by losing all 22 games without scoring then something needs to change. The idea behind it would give each ranked team a seed number then form some sort of play off to give them a overall position of what league and they would begin in. I also would like to see the same process rolled out in hockey so its a even process. I would love to hear anyones opinion and also a vote system to give the crew an idea who is in favour of it. After rejoining the game myself after many on and off years. Yes I could spend the next 10 months rebuilding now and then playing, but what would keep me here and keep me spending! England is a typical example of right down in the 2nd division there is competition, which is what we should be having here too. Thanks MikePlease don't all maul me at once!

Not a new idea and I’d like this for all smaller nations. Base leagues more in language spoken to allow for community engagement and banter rather than geography. Any country with less than 100 active managers should be merged. E.g. join Canada and USA. Potentially England and Australia leagues and Scotland, Wales and Ireland like your suggestion. It just makes sense for the growth of the game and especially as crew have previously said they want to open the transfer market up eventuallyNot a new idea and I’d like this for all smaller nations.

Sorry, I didn't know it was already had been discussed as when I brought it up with the crew they had said it would be a good idea to do it, I personally wouldn't merge England though, they have a strong system in placeSorry, I didn't know it was already had been discussed as when I brought it up with the crew they had said it would be a good idea to do it, I personally wouldn't merge England though, they have a strong system in place

I would rather be merged with England. Scotland has about 15 active users, Ireland has about 20/25, N. Ireland has 2 or 3 and Wales has 2 or 3. It’s been put to crew many times by both Scottish and Irish users. The change needs to happen before the game dies!I would rather be merged with England.

Just seen you reply to both so will just reply here insteas of the poll chat. As far as crew will look at it, all 48 teams were active in prem and div 1 last season that's not counting any teams in div 2, That's why I kept England out the argument because at least there is some groundsJust seen you reply to both so will just reply here insteas of the poll chat.
