Next game, Blackpool away, Wednesday 16th July 1997NEWS – PREMIER LEAGUE CHANGES
This morning’s Guardian (Friday 27th) reports that the Premier League will introduce 2 down/2 up from the season after next. The Nationwide League is believed to agree to this, in return for cash from the PL to fund youth training and such like.
