The argument for League Two

In the third and final statement, Nobes makes the case as to why he believes League Two is the best division.

It may be the lowest down the ladder, but League Two is, without a doubt, the best division in the Football League.

It might not have the high quality football, and big name players and managers that the other leagues have. However, is that what really makes a great league?

I don't think so, and let me tell you why I think League Two is not only the best league - it's the league of dreams.

League Two is the start of dreams. Take Hull City for example. I remember watching my team play a league game at the KC Stadium in 2003. Just five years later - it was Chelsea playing a league game there.

Hull were at their lowest ebb, at rock bottom, almost extinct, at the start of the new Millennium in League Two. They managed to avoid dropping out of it - which could have finished the club off.

From there, they built up to realise their top flight ambition. And they're not the only ones - look at Swansea, they could do the same thing.

In fact, this season's Premier League has featured the likes of Wolves, Fulham, Burnley, and Wigan - all in League Two in the last 20 years or so.

It is the division where teams who have fallen on hard times can begin their climb back up the pyramid.

Not only is it the start of dreams though - League Two is also the realisation of dreams. Never will you see more grown men cry than when their team earns promotion to League Two.

It is the gateway to the Football League - to finally fulfilling their dreams of competing in League Two, the League Cup, and automatic entry into the FA Cup First Round.

I know what that feeling is like - winning promotion to the Football League, gaining membership of an exclusive club of 92. The elevation in status, shedding your Non League tag.

The boost it can give to a town or a local area is huge. It's difficult to downplay just how amazing promotion to League Two is to teams.

Ask fans of Stevenage this summer - or fans of Macclesfield or Kidderminster - teams who were denied promotion to the Football League and League Two. When they eventually did get there - it meant the world.

For some too - the likes of Wycombe and Yeovil - finally gaining entry into League Two allowed them to progress further up the ladder. Make no mistake though - that first promotion was the most important.

Staying in League Two can also feel like a dream. Ask fans of Burnley - League Champions in 1960 - how relieved they felt 27 years later when they stayed in League Two on the final day.

Staying up is always a cause for celebration - but even more so when it means preserving your Football League status.

League Two is the division of holding onto dreams. I has unique status in having four teams who win promotion - and a play-off system that goes down to 7th.

It means the season goes on longer for teams. Teams who know that if they put a late run together, they still have a shout at achieving promotion.

If they can just slip into 7th - just make that final play-off place - they can still make Wembley, still win promotion. That's why, more than other division, every side - if they put a run together - can win promotion.

The extra promotion place means that the promotion dream is not only open to more teams - they are dreams that are kept alive for longer during the season.

That adds to the excitement and drama of every League Two season, it really is open to the very final fixture. And what dream final fixtures the computer often throws up.

Think of 1997 - Brighton and Hereford fighting it out to avoid relegation on the final day - against one another. The same with Barnet and Torquay in 2001. The same with Boston and Wrexham in 2007.

The quirks of the fixture computer seem to be more in evidence in League Two than any other - so much so you'd almost think you were dreaming.

League Two is also the division of dream moments. What other division can claim that a dog helped save a club from relegation?

Relegation, let's not forget, to Non League - which means so much. Survival in the Football League - which is so important to so many clubs.

But yes, the actions of a dog biting a players leg once helped save Torquay United from relegation from League Two. Now that's animal magic.

And it is the division of the most dream moment of all - Jimmy Glass.

A goalkeeper who scored the winning goal - in injury time - to save Carlisle from relegation. A goalkeeper who saved the club from going out of the League - and business.

A goalkeeper who was only on loan - playing his third game for the club. A goalkeeper who was only an emergency loan - the first ever emergency loan in British football.

Forget England, no league in the world has such a dream set of circumstances leading up to the dream moment in Football League history. And it's League Two history.

So there we have it. No other division has the same number of promotion places. No other division has the same importance of promotion to, or staying in.

This is the beauty of League Two. The division where dreams are made, dreams are realised, dreams are saved.

Where dreams can be preserved and held onto for longer, where dream moments are the order of the day, where even the fixture computer is dreaming.

League Two really is the best division, and no, you're not dreaming.

You can vote for which you think is the best division in the Football League in the poll on the right hand side.

The argument for League One

In the second of our arguments, Turls state the case as to why he believes you should vote for League One as the best division.

It's easy for everyone to say that the Championship is the best league in the Football League because it has the best teams and the best players and the best stadiums.

I can't argue with that. Newcastle are a damn sight better than Stockport and the Liberty Stadium makes Huish Park look like a local park with dollops of dog turd scattered across the pitch.

It's also easy for everyone to say that League Two is the best league in the Football League because it is simpler and more down to earth than the other leagues because they have a host of "family clubs" and ramshackle grounds.

Again, I can't argue with that given that Aldershot are in League Two and Leeds are in League One.

However, few people would say that League One is the best league in the Football League. Why? Because it isn't. It's the best league in the whole wide world!

Okay. I may have been over egging it a bit but League One is fantastic. It has consistently delivered quality football, drama and quality football drama - more exciting than "drama" and better than "quality football".

We've seen big fish get devoured by little fish in the shape of Nottingham Forest getting turned over by Yeovil. We've seen big teams storm the league - Leicester - and smaller clubs sink without putting up a fight - a few too many to mention.

We've seen endless campaigns be decided by the final 90 minutes of the season.

I could stand here and reel off a list of exciting events that have happened in League One, including the only third tier in European football to have a former European Cup winner in it's ranks.

I could tell you about the hugely exciting play-off finals in recent years. I could tell you about the faces of fans when they've realised that their club has avoided the drop, or missed out on promotion.

The quality is there to see in this season alone. Leeds United have beaten Manchester United in the FA Cup. Norwich have looked incredible. Southampton won the JPT and Carlisle got to the final.

Charlton — a former Premier League club shan't we forget — have never looked like winning the league this year. That is indicitive of how strong League One is.

Let's move on though. I don't want to dwell on the clubs. Instead, let's move on to the players.

A special mention to Kelvin Davies who turned down a chance to warm the bench in the Premier League so he could play first team football for Southampton. Has that happened in any other division?

Jermaine Beckford has grabbed all the headlines and could be joining a top-flight club in the summer - but he isn't even League One's best striker! That honour could go to Grant Holt or Rickie Lambert or even little Charlie Austin.

Ah... Charlie Austin. How you've grown. This time last season you were banging goals in for fun at Poole Town. Now you're banging them in for fun at Swindon Town.

Pork Scratchin Corner has even indicated that you could be on your way to Newcastle in the summer. League One made you. Thank them for it by taking her out and giving a right good rogering in the car park.

I could go on forever about the quality of the players. There is a real pool of talent in League One but at the same time, there are some players who only their mother's could call decent footballers.

I won't do them the injustice of naming them but there are top-notch footballing cloggers who operate at this level and it is another reason why League One rules the roost.

It's middle ground for fans who want to watch poetry in motion and ugly long-ball football.

The managers are a rare mix of bright youthful sparks. People like Paul Lambert are the future of football management.

In fact, having done a little bit of research, I discovered that only two managers in League One are over 40 years old - Chris Turner and Chris Hutchings.

That is some impressive stuff. It's a breeding ground for young managers to go and learn their trade. Paul Ince is deemed one for the future, Paul Lambert the same. Alan Pardew has returned to fine tune his managerial skills.

This is before I go on to mention the likes of Aidey Boothroyd. With many saying their is a real dearth of British managerial talent, I implore them to look to League One.

That's where an England manager is going to come from. I just hope it isn't Chris Hutchings.

I mentioned stadiums earlier. Now I'm not going to stand here and claim that League One grounds are the best. Why not? Well to start with, I'm sitting down.

Aside from that, the fact is that the Championship has the best grounds and League Two has the most grounds that are full of character.

You can probably see where I'm going with this but League One is the only league that offers both delightful dumps and shiny stadia. What other league has the glorious Elland Road alongside the rather dismal Withdean Stadium?

Brighton's ground has character and a glorious back story. Leeds' stadium looks fantastic and has plenty of stories.

When the season ends, you won't get many of these "TV" fans staying behind to cry because their team has been relegated. No self-respecting football fan does this.

They leave the stadium and utter the phrase: "We'll storm the league next season". League One fans are ever the optimist. None of this "my dad is bigger than your dad" nonsense.

They live in relative harmony with a mutual respect for all things good and proper. Except Leeds. No-one likes Leeds.

In case you haven't been paying full attention, what I'm trying to say is that League One is the best because it has the best of both worlds. It is a Jack of All Trades, Master of None, and for that, I love it. And so should you.

You can vote for which you think is the best division in the Football League in the poll on the right hand side.
