Guest Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 It is an awful long way off, but would Plymouth Parkway take promotion. Plymouth has never really had a second club playing at a decent level and with a new clubhouse/changing rooms being built soon and pulling in decent gates what do you think their chances would be.

Home Waters Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 ;) I don't think any club official would come here and give you the answer. I would imagine that like most clubs it goes through peoples minds, but as you know its not that simple, its all about the broad range of 'facilities'. There is probably not a club on the site who would say that they would not like to go, fantasy and reality. I have no doubt that by any closing date Parkway along with other clubs would have come to a conclusion as to the possibilities. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Well I certainly got the impression last week that it is their intention to go up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Waters Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 :unsure: I think the words 'hatched', 'chickens' and 'count' come to mind Dave. Brilliant radio last weekend, thanks for that, I could almost smell the pasties. :yahoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 And on today's half-hour ... Falmouth have suggested they would like to take the promotion ... that is if they win it of course! Good to see that at last some clubs have ambition to move up.

Guest john Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Dave i did hear a rumour that there is a possibly that the top two teams would be offered to go up?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sport Lover Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Is football the only sport you can decide if you want to go up or not? Wasnt the pyramid idea automatic relegation and promotion. The rules are set out at the beginning of the season and if you dont agree with them then dont play in that league. If you win the league and choose not to go up you should be relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you win the league and choose not to go up you should be relegated. Unfortunately the rules governing the pyramid system are far more complicated than that, it would take a brazillian rain forest of paper to explain them all. There are many factors which govern promotion or relegation, not least of all ground qualification. If every club that is in a league like ours had to be promoted or relegated regardless of anything else, the structure of football would look rather silly. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sport Lover Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I agree there should be rules regards grounds etc but if your in a league you MUST be able and willing to do whats required to prepare your ground if you get promoted. How high up the system can you choose whether you take promotion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allforone1889 Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Plymouth Parkway and Falmouth would for sure be there or there abouts in the Western League both clubs have a strong set up and wish them well in their ambitions.

Home Waters Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 but if your in a league you MUST be able and willing to do whats required to prepare your ground if you get promoted. I see where you are coming from, but that would mean that some teams in the Premier, for example, would have to spend upwards of £100.000, should they finish 1st or 2nd. No team would join any league under those cicumstances. At what level the choice stops, I dont know, I assume when you have all the Premiership requirements.
