Promotion and Relgation would work better in a 14 team league in my opinion. Having the championship season finish earlier would give the promoted side a chance to build for longer and it should also be first past the post. That way the strongest possible club is coming up.
As for the challenge cup the two legged fixtures is stupid, if they wanted a chance for extra home games then introduce a group stage. 8 groups of 3 teams with the top 8 advancing to the quarter finals. Lower league clubs would get more revenue to help run there clubs and SL clubs would get a guarnteed extra two home games. One of the main reasons the CC has fallen wayside and lost its magic is because you only have to win 3 games to get to the final.
