Town MD Ian Milne says he sees positives in the Football League’s proposal which would see a new structure of five divisions - including the Premier League - and an expansion to 100 teams, but says much discussion is required before such a move is made.
The move would see the Championship and the divisions below cut to 20 teams, reducing the number of midweek fixtures.
Football League clubs are set to talk about a discussion document when they meet for a two-day conference in Portugal in June and during next season. A final decision is expected to be made in June 2017 with 90 per cent of the current clubs having to be in agreement.
"In principle the idea is good and would declutter a very crowded fixture schedule,” Milne told the club site.
"It would allow the fans, particularly our young ones, to attend matches throughout the season rather than miss matches in midweek because of school or work commitments.
"We would have to understand all the financial implications and we would also seek the opinions of the club’s supporters before deciding on our stance, but we welcome the proposals for discussion.”
