[QUOTE="Sixways Cheryl, post: 902610, member: 75923"] It's such a missed opportunity to not be involving teams from the Championship in the new tournament. Fans want to see different teams visiting, not just the same 11 as always in a slightly different format. :rolleyes: Have always missed the old Tetleys Bitter/Powergen cup for that reason - teams from lower divisions getting the chance to upset a much bigger team. That's the reason people still love the 3rd round of the FA Cup in football. I know that nobody would allow professional clubs v amateur clubs anymore, but there's nothing to stop a Prem/Championship cup competition & if anything it might be the start of bridging the gap between the 2 leagues. Was never a big fan of the Anglo/Welsh cup, but this new idea seems even more pointless. [/QUOTE]
