News is emerging that the Premier League are exploring a change to the PL2 and Professional Development League format.
At the moment, the Top 16 Category 1 PL2 teams go into their end of season play offs. While the remainder end.their season early.
The plan under consideration is that those "bottom" PL2 teams would go into a play off structure with the top teams in the Category 2 PDL (the level we are at).
There would still NOT be promotion between Cat 2 and Cat 1. The idea is just to freshen up the programme, with more opportunities for Cat 2 to compete with Cat 1. Sounds like a good idea to me.
