I was speaking to guy from work last night who plays Rugby for a decent amateur side in Edinburgh - he can't make all their away games due to work so is allowed to register for another team in a lower league in the same association when he can't make his main team's away games. If either team makes a cup final/has a league decider etc he has to have played 50% of his games for that team. This is to stop teams just stockpiling players without playing them, to stop teams folding due to lack of players and to allow guys to actually play every Saturday (which is what amateur sport is all about). Does anyone think this could be adopted with amateur football, or would too many amateur managers be against it? Seems like common sense with the rate teams are folding at the moment
