How could the structure of the football league in the UK be something like this with regional teams, particularly at the higher tier of the football league
Nationwide division (12 teams)
Southwest, Southeast, London East Anglia West midlands, East midlands, Yorkshire Northwest, Northeast, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. (Depending on the security situation in Northern Ireland sometimes there are only 11 teams competing)
There is no promotion or relegation however the top 8 teams go into an end of season knockout cup which is quite prestigous and determines who is considered the winner of the league
Northern regional league(3 divisions consisting of 14 teams each) Contains teams based on counties from Scotland Northern Ireland, Yorkshire and the Northeast
Midlands regional league (2 divisions of 12 teams)
Contains teams based on counties from West Midlands and east Midlands
Southern League (3 divisions of 10 teams
Contains teams from the Southeast and Southwest
London and East Anglian league 4 divisions of 12 teams Contains teams representing the boroughs of London and teams based on the counties of East Anglia and includes the isle of Ely as well as Huntingdonshire.
All teams are automatic entrants to the United Kingdom regional cup and also play in other cups such as the British cup, which also includes teams from the lower leagues. Note that almost all teams within this are professional or in a few cases semi professional. Although there is promotion and relegation in within the divisions there is no promotion or relegation to the regional tier
Regional tier Contains teams representing various places in the various counties of the United Kingdom Some controversy has been caused due to Northern Ireland calling it's league the league of Ireland whilst the top tier in the Irish republic is called the same. The better teams are entrants to the British cup and there are various regional knockout competitions.
