It's an interesting proposal however I think there would be more merit in losing a step and have a league one north and league one south. This would save money as it would reduce travel time and make away fixture more appealing to away fans.
Maybe if they did that and had the 20 team leagues it might offset one with the other or not need as big an increase in the attendances. For example I'm sure some of our longer travelled games had an overnight stay for the team like Carlisle or when we've played Hartlepool. This would be an additional expense on the budget was if not there could be used directly on players.
I just think its not something that needs to be dismissed because of tradition as that tradition was already broken with advent of premier league anyways. It needs to be properly looked at and costed to see what effect it would have on each team.
