In a word..... MONEY

I was doing some research about this.  If anyone is in a Div 6 or 7 league (prob most of us here) then financially it would be better off for us to move.

It doesnt matter what Div you get put in (1-4) you will get the financial benefits of Div 4 (sponsership, prizemoney, ticket prices) for the first season.

If you are likely to be in Div 6 next season then even with the bot flush you are not likely to get in to Div 4 so you will be earning less money than you would in Scotland or Ireland.  If you are lucky enough to get in Div 3 or higher and at least avoid relegation after the first season then you will get higher financial benefits the next season.

I am going to move to Scotland because of this reason.  The financial benefit is a significant benefit to me.  Means I can buy better players and spend more on my acadamies.  The sponsership money is greater at Div 4 level and so is the ticket price (gate takings).  Also the prizemoney at the end of the season is a lot better.

SOD Div 4 - you only need to come 4th to earn the same prize money as winning Div 5, 6 or 7.
T20 Div 4 - you only need to come 4th to earn the same prize money as winning Div 5, 6 or 7
YOD Div 4 - you only need to come 4th to earn the same prize money as winning Div 5, 6 or 7

Its also random what Div you end up so you could end up in Div 1, 2, 3 or 4.

Becasue everyone is moving to Scotland, I'm going to Ireland to be different, and it means I'll have more chance of being in Div 1 because you all will be in Scotland :)

Times are bad at Ireland for me :(
