Is the York City co-owner right?

EFL3 is the compromised answer to 3 Up and 3 down, with appropriate funding help from the PL

    Lots of reasons why there should be an EFL 3.

    The National League has a good standard & the top third Clubs of the NL can compare favourably with the bottom half of League 2.

    Financial turnover is higher in the NL compared to the past. All NL clubs except just four in 24/25 were full time professional.

    Unfortunately, not all NL clubs grounds are EFL ready. Many will have to upgrade their grounds to hold at least 4K & meet more stringent safety requirements to meet EFL standards.

    Another issue would be how the extra league would affect the League & FA Cups. Would there need to be a preliminary round for EFL 3 clubs?

    Yes there may be existing issues to be ironed out, but the prospect of a new EFL league 3 would be an exciting prospect for football fans across the Country.

    Implementation of  three up three down promotion /relegation across those four Divisions of the EFL, (including EFL 3), would be a much fairer system

    While York City have been unlucky this season, they've benefitted from the playoffs twice in recent years. They finished sixth when they were promotedfrom the NLN...

    But in principle I agree that we need three up, three down between L2 and the Bananarama Conference. Maybe even four. Having fewer promoted teams is a hangover from the days when the FL was a closed shop and can be incredibly cruel for the team finishing second, as we nearly found out ourselves.
