Motion text
That this House celebrates the decision of Torquay United FC, alongside all 72 National League clubs, to vote unanimously in favour of introducing a third promotion place from the National League into League Two; recognises that this change would bring the promotion structure in line with that between League Two and League One; acknowledges the dedication and ambition of clubs within the National League who face an unfair bottleneck in their progression through the football leagues; believes that a third promotion place would ensure a fairer and more competitive system that rewards sporting merit and ambition; and calls upon the English Football League, the Football Association, and other relevant governing bodies to support and implement this change to promote fairness and opportunity in the football pyramid.
