The Football League has agreed to talks during the course of the coming season regarding another promotion place for the Conference.
The fifth tier has been campaigning for a third promotion spot for some time, with the matter raised at the FL AGM with FL board member Tony Kleanthous strongly in favour of an increase.
Burton chairman Ben Robinson told the NLP: "We would support three-up, three-down. But I am a realist and I think
it will take a lot of hard work to convince the majority of clubs,
unless a pot of money can be produced as a form of financial
compensation."
The second promotion place was only agreed after the Conference devised a plan to subsidise the 'parachute payments' through revenue earned from the play-off final.
