They would have had to reduce the points limit, which would have forced three clubs in particular to drop one of their big guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham wouldn't then be in the top division. Both Birmingham & Oxford are only there because those 2 clubs have gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford yes, but Birmingham moved up due to race night restrictions not primarily because they wanted to, theres always the possibility that Lynn would of dropped down as well i suppose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Peterborough and Wolverhampton sadly closed, the other clubs then realised they might not get any TV money and Oxford were miraculously welcomed with open arms in 2024. Funny that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if this is correct (I'm not saying it isn't) and if Panthers are ever back on track, then they might not be welcomed back into the Premiership?
