Update.
So would people prefer the following?
The proposed North, South and central with 3 squads per region or, a Scottish, North west, North East, Wales, west mids, east mids, South west and south east regions with 2 squads per region as a pro and novice squads?
Isn't this your job Richard? Sort it out!!!
Just looking at a few regional maps, why not something like:
Wales/Scotland/Ireland (not sure how many players we get from these areas any more but hopefully a showing of at least 10 would be possible for them to have a bash at the English
)
East and West Midlands *
South West, South East and London *
North West, North East, Yorkshire and Humberside.
(I took the regions from this website and incase you aren't sure where you live, click on the region

*Leaves East Anglia to go with either the southerners or the mighty Midlands! Probably the Midlands as London already has enough for a whole league!
4 teams is easy enough to work into some sort of a league. It should also give enough reach to get at least 2 squads from each region and enable a good number of games so each squad gets a good share of it.
As you can see, I am bored at work waiting to be made redundant. So I gladly accept your praise Mr Harris
