Scubby Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 A maybe competition on Boxing Day for a cup that was designed to shadow the Challenge Cup at Wembley. That will provide the levels of certainty needed for those clubs running out of furlough support at the end of October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hela Wigmen Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Bring in a proper group stage either of eight groups of three or five groups of four, made up of the twenty-four UK based Championship and League One clubs with the Boxing Day/NYD fixtures made up of local derbies.

HarrogateKnights Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 In principle the 1895 Cup is a good idea but starting the season earlier isn't the answer. If we get a Jan/Feb like this year there won't be any fixtures played or be a mismatch. Personally I would play the 1895 Cup in September/October better chance of good weather. Scrap the playoffs, first goes up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
