[QUOTE="scuubasteve, post: 165667"] With recent rumours (suggesting that Irish ambitions to join the EDF Cup will mean this event becomes more of a backseat/development league) and with the success of the Super League leading to a likely expansion in teams, would it make sense financially (and for the growth of the game) if the GP was expanded to include another 2 teams also? This would then allow the 13th GP side that plays the Yo-Yo game every season to retain that lucrative premiership spot and for another fringe NL1 side to gain some exposure and speed their growth as a top flight club. A 14 side premiership would then create a 14 team NL1. Problems with the added games to the calendar (26 instead of 22) could then be absorbed to by removing EDF fixtures (as these are soon to become second rate games). Just a theory anyway. [/QUOTE]
