    Now that we finally have a Japanese sub-forum, I will make a new thread about the J.LEAGUE 100 Years Vision (Jリーグ100年構想). The vision states that by 2093 there will be 100 football clubs in Japan. At the same time each and every club will be loved and supported by the local fans, the local businesses, the local government, and the city/town itself, while the clubs provide them with the environment for healthy sports culture (not just football).

    To start off here are some facts:
    > J.LEAGUE started with 10 clubs in 1993
    > The league adopted the two-division system since 1999
    > In 2005, the league had total of 30 clubs
    > Ehime FC will join J2 from 2006, making the number of clubs to 31

    Some related websites, blogs, and articles:
    > A Look Ahead, One Hundred Years (English Article)
    > Follow Ehime! 32 [More] Clubs Looking for J1 Promotion (Article/Japanese)
    > J.LEAGUE Home Town Report (Site/Japanese)
    > 100 Clubs in J.LEAGUE (Blog/Japanese)
    > Blog Living in the J.LEAGUE 100 Years Vision (Blog/Japanese)
    > Underage J.LEAGUE (Blob/Japanese)
    > Stating J.LEAGUE’s Attendance (blog/Japanese)

    The 4th one in the links, the one with "Bog living...", is my blog. It's only in Japanese, but may start in english if requested.

    Re: The J.LEAGUE 100 Years Vision

    When do they anticipate a J3 starting? I would guess you would need a minimum of 10 teams to start a 3rd division.

    Also I think a playoff for the 2nd promotion spot in J2 (similar to England) would make sense for the J2. Any thoughts?

    Re: The J.LEAGUE 100 Years Vision

    I don't know if you read this article or not, but this article talks about a survey that J.LEAGUE and JFA conducted to figure out how many clubs are planning to join the league in the future. From this survey we know that there is at least 32 clubs out there. From next year, J.LEAGUE will do a research on J3. Making a new division is not that easy. They have to make sure that the 3rd division will be healty.

    Re: The J.LEAGUE 100 Years Vision

    If they are going to set up a 18-club second division, they need to dig up five more from JFL, like Kumamoto and Takasaki (Horikoshi). We know that J2 is a tough league financially (see Kofu and Tosu), and so a nationwide J3 for smaller markets may not be viable. Dividing it to two or three regions could be a realistic option though.

    Re: The J.LEAGUE 100 Years Vision

    There is also the stadium issue..........Omiya is gonna play in three different places not in omiya because their home venue doesn't meet minimum J1 standards. J3 teams could theoretically get up to J1 in 2 years. That would be rough jumping from a 6000/7000 seat venue to 15000-20000 in a short amount of time. J3 would also have to be regional with a playoff system at the end.

    Re: The J.LEAGUE 100 Years Vision

    Hey look at the bright side.... Omiya Soccer Park will reconstucted by 2007!!

    The thing about Omiya was their J1 promotion happened suddently (not in terms of squads but in term of a club and it finance). Unlike Nigata, Kofu, Kawasaki, they did not have time to prepare for 15K stadium. That's why when they were promoted, they told the league that 15k stadium will made by the third year. They have a soccer-only stadium and fans love that.

    Sagan Tosu is a club that used to attract avg of 3k/game prior to the 2005 season. Since the new owner, SAGAN DREAMS, tookover the club last year, they have improved the club in many aspects. The results can be showed with the attendance as it increased to 7k/game. This year, they are going farther. They made a better logo and uniform. Also here's somthing I want to you to look at:

    GAG! Who did the artwork for that?
    It looks like they trimmed off the top of the stands (on the right) with a pair of scissors! Talk about cheap production value.

    Why dont they just admit that they dont have any stands in the end zones. A "real" picture of Tosu Stadium would look just as good. . . . what am I talking about, a REAL picture would look 10,000 times better!

    Re: The J.LEAGUE 100 Years Vision

    Omiya decided to invest more in the club house in the City of Shiki, Saitama Prefecture. They expect to increase revenues by a few hundred million yen because they managed to stay afloat in J1 and made the semifinal of the Emperor's Cup. Improvements include paving the parking lot, refurbishing the exterior wall of the club house and installing air-conditioning units.

    They will acquire two midfielders, Yoshiyuki Kobayashi and Daigo Kobayashi, from relegated Verdy.
