Scubby 11,830 Posted September 6, 2020 Report 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hela Wigmen 2,263 Posted September 6, 2020 Report 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 648 Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 In principle the 1895 Cup is a good idea but starting the season earlier isn't the answer.
