If the County Championship had finished after the last round of games then we would have missed promotion by a single point, heaven forbid that's how it does end up, but it's not inconceivable so bear with me.
Of course we'd all be pretty gutted to have missed out, but ultimately could it make next season more enjoyable for spectators.
As it stands Division 2 next season would consist of: Derbyshire, Gloucestershire, Glamorgan, Kent, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Northants and Yorkshire.
Of course Lancashire are only 10 points adrift of Notts and might well escape relegation. They do look pretty lightweight though and travel to Durham and Worcester as well as facing Somerset at Old Trafford in the last 3 rounds.
We all like a roses clash of course so that would be one bonus, not to mention 4 days in Chesterfield.
We would have a new coach of course and a year to bed in and improve our young squad without the pressure of having to face the Surrey's and Somerset's of this world would surely be advantageous.
It might not happen and I still see the 2nd promotion spot as very much ours, but just in case I'm softening us all up.
