The Football League controls from the Championship down to the 2nd Division, I believe that the lower part of the pyramid is governed by the FA: However, I think that the BSP has it's own chairmans association and last season they killed off Rushden and Diamonds for finacial issues and their groups chairman is / was the chairman of Stockport County who stayed up after Rushden kicked out so politics down here can be just as dirty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-League_football The Championship is an interesting division, bit of a graveyard of yesterday's great teams like Nottingham Forest, Leeds, Ipswich etc....the referees are absolute shite, make the SPL ones into world class officials
