    The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions in England have been re-named, and are now called

    The Championship
    League 1
    League 2

    In my eyes, League 2 will always be called The Fourth Division anyway.

    What think ye?

    So, is it a good idea? 18 votes

    Yeah, a change is as good as a rest.

    It will bring more money the what is now the 1st division and less to the leagues below it .

    I may be wrong be isnt the full name now The Coca-Cola Championship .

    Seriously? After over a decade you still haven't got used to calling it the 3rd division?

    And for that matter, is the "Premiership" still the "First Division" in your eyes?

    Well the championship does sound a bit more glamourous than the football league. And its probably good because it brings a bit of alliteration into the name of it. "CocaCola Championship". As a matter of fact the "championship" even makes it sound better than the premiership but i doubt the quality of football will improve.

    I don't care what they call it as long as Leeds win it. Of course the likelihood is that they'll have changed the name again before that happens :(

    Don't see the point to it myself. I prefer leaving it alone.

    The point is to bring more money into Englands second tier of football .

    U must have seen the Improvement of Englands top division since THE PREMIERSHIP has started .

    It will bring more lucrative deals to the league and instead of the nationwide leagues being sold as a package to T.V. componies they will probably have to bid seperatly for the Premiership , the Championship , and then the other 2 leagues sold off as one .
