no we shouldnt as the southern league would think they were higher and probably recieve more money from the FA. Love down south away games like hereford, leyton orient etc ( also on a personal selfish level I live down south so it wouldnt be good for exlie poolies)

Never in a million years should we go back to it
The leagues would be lop sided with half the league strong and half the league weak.Promotion would be straight into a difficult league such as the Championship, and there would be only one up one down, meaning the likelihood of having something to play for is remote.
Result is a lack of interest and with maybe one play-off spot to go for, crowds would nosedive across the country.
I can drive from Hartlepool to Plymouth in five hours - it's not that bad surely?
Motorways and railways and airports give us a good choice of transport, and the regional argument only ever bore any weight years ago when fans probably didn't have the means of transport or disposable cash like they do now.
Also, while Pools are in the third tier of English football, we can probably attract a player we want to come here instead of Bradford who are in the League below.
We would be in the same division otherwise if it was regionalised and the player would sign for Bradford instead.
Keep it like it is, and those clubs that can't afford it should pack in!!
Even the Blue Square Premier realioses this - it's the quality of the team that gets you where you deserve to be - not where you are located!!!!!
