It’s just a difficult topic. Of course, due to the regional connection of thebies, you want to have the regional league in the field of more time. One of four promotion places does not justify the number of residents and the number of active members. One could still argue with the interests of spectators, where it is of course the strongest league, which of course is not as fixed as membership numbers.
Tell me an interesting derby what falls away when the north from the northeast goes from Berlin to the Regionalliga Nord and the southern part of Bavaria?
As a fan of a regional league club, I can tell you nothing more annoys than these Berlin teams. Untight to go to it no longer goes, super unattractive (despite the best weather and Saturday game, only 3500 came, which is a low for us) – I would not miss a single game against a Berlin club. Then prefer clubs like Bayreuth, Burghausen or Würzburg.
That can be your personal opinion. Mine is another and that of the clubs in the past. It wasn’t quite without reason. State associations are also shared. So everything would be over to Berlin, for example, which was the most popular regional league at a large distance last year.
The fairest division for 4 seasons would be:
1. NRW: 18 million
2. Bavaria, Saxony Thuringia: 19 million
3. Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse, Saarland 23 million
4. Mecklenburg Vorpommern, Saxony-Anhalt, Berlin, Brandenburg, Schleswig Holstein, Hamburg, Bremen Niedersachsen 23 million
Ewas Fairer could only be done mathematically by pushing Saxony anhalt to Bavaria. But you tear the north completely and have huge distances from Stendal to Munich, which can actually only exist in the area countries.
So ultimately, a regional league reform of Saxony and Thuringia from Sachsenanhalt and Berlin Brandenburg would be separated. There is no other logical composition. Of course, the derby falls away when Verine like Magdeburg, the HFC and Cottbus, all of which played in the league, drop out and you don’t get an adequate replacement in Bavaria. That is why Sächsichen Clubs do not advocate it, but an attempt is made to get the 5th promotion.
