The Conferences: How To Make Them Mean Something

I know they're not popular, but I genuinely believe the conferences could become something of importance.

Right now, they come across as a cost cutting measure for the Scottish teams, showing a divide in the bigger budget teams and the smaller teams, and a cash cow for the Erhardt teams (especially Sheffield and Nottingham). There's an over-saturation of fixtures between teams (we all got bored of seeing Steelers/Panthers games) and what for? A trophy Braehead had to buy themselves in the first year? Second seeding behind the winners of the league?

It can work though, it can be fixed, and it can be very relevant. 3 steps.
