Sharing the Welsh FA Cup of Football. 2020




Sharing the Welsh FA Cup of Football. 2020
My idea is that the Welsh FA Cup should be shared between the four remaining sides in the trophy, in 2020, because of the difficulty in playing cames while the pandemic is occuring. 

Caernarfon Town, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Prestatyn Town, The New Saints.

The alternatives are to null and void the trophy, to play the games later in the year in front of crowds, or to play the games behind closed doors.

Sharing the trophy might be the preferable idea. Because playing games behind closed doors could be expensive. Postponing the games for later on could lead to fixture backlogs.



Sharing trophies has been done in the past

Examples;

1. in the Scottish League the 1891 title was shared between Glasgow Rangers and Dumbarton.

2. The old English Football Charity Shield used to be shared between teams when the result ended in a draw. They were no replays or penalties. Liverpool shared the trophy 5 times.

3. The old rugby Union Home nations Championship / Five Nations Championship was shared between teams on many occasions. Such as in 1986 between France and Scotland. Plus 1988 between Wales and France. In 1972 the five nations title was shared between all 5 teams.
