They haven't confirmed the new format just a loose mention that it will be 1 up 1 down.
Some have speculated we may see an SL1 and SL2 format with 10 teams in each. If the SL2 is better funded and has at least 1 TV game a week I think i'd be in favour of that. Under this structure crowds and income have continued to decline, it has been our cup wins and improvements in home form and marketing that have kept us growing not the league format.

I think clubs would struggle to survive on just 9 home games a season

Would imagine it would be a huge loss of revenue from sponsors, season ticket holders and walk ups. But there's been talk of player welfare with them playing too many games so I guess its a possibility.

Worrying times for some of the smaller clubs as well as us who are beholden to a far from favourable tenancy agreement

I agree 9 home games wouldent be enough. I'd imagine there would either be a 3rd home game against some teams, or an extended playoff/relegation form like there is now. I do think we currently play too many games though, and also that the season should start later in (usually!) better weather.
I was at the Andy Last event last night and James Clarke said that two leagues of ten, with a development league underneath that was APs preferred option, but they didn’t think he’d get it through at the moment.
By the way Lasty was really impressive. Passionate, intelligent and B&W through and through. Future head coach somewhere
