To help young players gain experience, Champ clubs will be permitted unlimited dual-registered players from Premiership sides. 

However, this will be capped at a maximum six in any matchday squad. 

The rule will be mirrored in the national leagues as well, but season-long loans will be excluded from the cap.

This is the interesting bit for me, who is going to police this

Although Nat 1 is the best league in England (I know you agree RM2!), and I usually say that if it aint broke dont fix it, it might be good to have a new dimension to the league for next year, it'll be all to play for right to the end.

Good to see a cap on dual reg. Would like it to be lower than 6 but a good start.

Also, agree with the second place playoff. Means 5/14 places in the league will be potential promotion/relegation which is plenty to keep things interesting. 

Some sensible decisions by those in charge for a change.

However the club finishing 2nd will still have to meet the Prem 2 criteria to be promoted. There was a suggestion that if failed it would be offered to the next team below who met the criteria. I am not sure if that is still the case.

Me? Certainly not! However, the changes could well add to the drama for the neutral as next season unfolds and reaches its latter stages.
