peternapper Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Don't know what the ramifications would be if teams started withdrawing from entry into this to highlight what a joke it has become. If it was an option would be happy to give this a body swerve now as very little interest until the very late stages of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas the club said the were not able to do that.We had Inverness on the Saturday away in the league cup but ended being drawn against their colt team in the Challenge Cup.Was free entry for that game and i dont the attendance even think it broke 250.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I assume the SPFL will think roping in Southerners will attract the telly. Everything’s about the money for Doncaster. He’ll be rebranding to UKPFL soon.p***k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams voted for this through the SPFL Management Committee so unfortunately I don't think this will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doncaster & Co probably feel with the National League's higher profile than the Welsh & Irish leagues it'll help attract improved deals. Maybe even get BT Sport roped in due to the relationships the SPFL & National League has with them. He knows they're more likely to get extra £s from companies doing this than including additional Scottish clubs. More money he gets for the SPFL, the more secure his job.

Old Diamond Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Back in the good old days of the 1970s mid table Scottish teams could look forward to a chance to play Manchester City, Newcastle United, Huddersfield etc etc, in the Texaco Cup, today we are offered Sutton, Boreham and a bunch of Irish and Welsh diddies, just shows how low Scottish Football has fallen under the stewardship of the cockwomble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
