Idea For More North English Teams In The Scottish Football League System.
This is an idea for Scottish, and Northern English soccer / football.
With
the allowance of Tweedmouth Rangers, and Berwick Rangers, in the Scottish
football pyramid system.
I
do not mind English clubs in the Scottish leagues.
But
I don’t support Scottish clubs joining the English Leagues, as people would
wrongly think Scotland was part of England. And all the Scottish major trophies
would suddenly be relegated to the status of lower-tier trophies if leading
Scottish clubs joined the English leagues.
Also,
I would not support a British League as once again people would think all the
Scottish major trophies in history were the status of lower-tier trophies,
while all the English trophies would be given the status of forerunners of the major
British league trophies.
But
nobody would think England is part of Scotland. And Northern English clubs
joining the Scottish leagues would strengthen the Scottish leagues system, and potentially
enable extra places for English clubs in Europe, via the Scottish leagues.
When I say Northern England I mean the far North, as in Northumbria, Cumbria, Durham, Tyne & Wear, and North Yorkshire.
Scenario
1; Northern League. Northern English clubs joining the Scottish pyramid
system.
The
plan would be the entire Northern League of England joins the Scottish
football pyramid system.
The
Northern League is an historic football league in the English pyramid system. It is at level 9 and 10 of the English pyramid system. It has clubs that by Scottish standards would be relatively big clubs.
These
clubs could join the Scottish pyramid system on level with the Scottish
Highland League, the Scottish Lowland League West and Scottish Lowland League
East. The champions of each league could have a play-off to decide who
plays the bottom side in the SPFL League Two.
Clubs
in the Northern League include Ton Law Town, Washington, Carlisle
City, Shildon, Redcar Athletic, Whitley Bay, Guisborough Town, Sunderland West
End, North Shields, Bishop Auckland, and Penrith.
Scenario
2; Clubs in the North of England, that are in the Northern League, National League, Northern Premier League, and EFL League Two join the
Scottish pyramid system.
So
allow the Northern League in. But also allow in teams from the English
League Two downwards that are located in Northumbria, Cumbria, Tyne and Wear,
Durham, and Northern Yorkshire.
This could be additional clubs like Carlisle Utd, Harrogate Town, Whitby Town, Hartlepool United, Morpeth Town, Workington, Scarborough Athletic, Hebburn Town, Stockton Town, South Shields, York City, Barrow, Gateshead, Blyth Spartans, and Darlington.
Scenario
3.
Invite
in all the bigger clubs of the region into the SPFL.
Including Sunderland, Newcastle United, Middlesbrough, Leeds United, and Bradford City. Plus all the clubs in the region in the EPL, EFL, National League, Northern Premier, and Northern League.
This would help the Scottish league grow in size. It would also allow Scottish club sides to play some more big English sides. And it would do little damage to England’s football league system. As England has many big clubs.
The clubs joining from the English leagues could play in the Scottish Cup, and Scottish League Cup.
Also allow Northern English sides into the Scottish Women’s Leagues. So teams like Sunderland, Durham, and Newcastle United could play in the Scottish women's league system.

Midland Football League – Cymru North Super Cup.
I think a good idea for a new trophy would be a trophy
between teams from the Northern Welsh second tier league called the Cymru
North. This is a second tier based in Northern Wales.
The other league taking part could be the English league
called the Midland Football League Premier Division.
The idea could be either;
1. The
champions of the English Midland Football League Premier Division, and the
champions of the Welsh Cymru North play a final.
2. A
straight knockout cup involving all Cymru North sides, and all Midland Football
League Premier Division sides.
This could be a fun cross border trophy between good
English, and Welsh sides.
The final could be played at a participating team’s stadium,
with the host nation swapping each season.
Hellenic Football League – Cymru South Super Cup.
I have an idea for a cross-border trophy.
A knockout trophy between all teams in the Cymru South, and
the English lower tier league called the Hellenic Football League Premier Division.
Or a trophy between the champions of the Cymru South, and the
champions of the Hellenic Football League Premier Division.
The final could be played at a participating team’s stadium,
with the host nation swapping each season.
The Hellenic Football League covers teams in England in a
region in Southern English lands.
The Welsh Cymru South is the second tier of Welsh football
covering Southern Wales.
Northern League – Scottish Lowland League East Super Cup.
I have an
idea for a new football trophy.
With the
creation of the Scottish Lowland League East for next season.
I think a
good idea for a trophy would be a cup played between teams in the Scottish
Lowland League East, and the historic English lower tier league called the Northern
League.
The idea
could be either;
1.
A
Super Cup style trophy of the champions of the Northern League, and Scottish Lowland League East playing each
other at the end of the season.
2.
A
straight knockout cup, of all English Northern League sides, and all Scottish
Lowland League East sides. It could be all Northern League Division One sides, or al of the Northern League Division One, and Division Two sides.
The final could be played at a participating team’s stadium,
with the host nation swapping each season.
This could be a cross-border trophy between Northern England clubs, and Southern Eastern Scottish sides.
Travel could be tough, but the distance between Southern Eastern
Scotland, and Northern England is not as much as trips some Scottish teams
do in the Scottish Highland League, and even in Scottish League Two.

The Great British Vase – A Pan-Great Britain Non-League Cup.
My idea is for there to be a tournament of the 3 national Great Britain
non-league systems.
With 7 teams playing a qualifying round.
Followed by a cross-border tournament of 3 teams in a single location.
The 7 participating teams could be; 3 from Scotland, and 2 each from Wales, and England.
The Qualifying Round Teams.
These would be;
1. The Scottish Highland League Champions.
2. The Scottish Lowland League East Champions.
3. The Scottish Lowland League West Champions.
4. The Cymru North Champions.
5. The Cymru South Champions.
6. The National League North Champions.
7. The National League South Champions.
My idea would be the qualifying round would consist of;
A. The qualifying round between the Scottish Highland League champions, the Scottish Lowland League East champions, and the Scottish Lowland League West champions. (There is already set to be a Scottish pyramid system play-off between the Scottish Highland League champions, the Lowland League West champions, and the Lowland League East champions, to be played each year to decide which team play the bottom team in the Scottish League Two, to decide which team play in the SPFL the next season. This could also be the qualifying round of the Great British Vase.)
B. The Cymru North champions v The Cymru South champions. A single leg tie, at a participating team’s stadium.
C. The National League North champions v The National League
South champions. A single leg tie at a participating team’s stadium.
Finals.
The winners of the qualifying rounds play at a participating team’s
stadium in a tournament finals. With the host nation swapping each season. With each of the 3 qualified playing each
other in a round-robin finals trophy.
The winning team is named British Vase Cup Champions.
This would be a fun Pan-Great Britain non-league trophy.
The trophy could be played at the end of each season, or during the next season.

But I think Scotland should consider Fraser Hornby for the international side.
Hornby has played for sides like Aberdeen, Reims, Kortrijk, Everton, and Oostende.

He is a tall Scottish football player.

Welsh Soccer Super League Idea.
I have an idea for the Welsh football league system.
My idea would be to invite the Welsh sides in the English
leagues into the top tier of Welsh football.
But attracting them would be add decent sized English sides
near the Wales-England border.
And secondly to allow the leading Welsh League sides to be invited
into the English knockout cups as guest sides.
For instance the leading 6 Welsh league sides as guests in
the English League Cup.
And all Welsh top tier League sides as guests in the EFL Trophy. Also
Scottish Premiership sides not in Europe as guests in the EFL Trophy.
Also a Welsh-Scottish Super Cup. A single leg trophy between
the Scottish, and Welsh Champions, played at a participating team’s stadium.
With the host nation swapping each season.
So the big sides of Cardiff City, Wrexham, Swansea City,
Newport County, and Merthyr Town, would be promoted to tier 1 of the Welsh
leagues.
The English sides near the Welsh border invited into the
Welsh leagues could be; Chester FC, Tranmere Rovers, Crewe Alexandria, Runcorn
Town, Shrewsbury Town, AFC Telford United, Warrington Town, Vauxhall Motors FC,
Macclesfield, Allscott Heath, Runcorn Linnets, Market Drayton Town, Telford
Town, Shawbury United, Hereford FC, Leominster Town FC, Gloucester City, Bristol
City, Bristol Rovers. Forest Green Rovers, Cheltenham Town FC, Tewkesbury Town,
Cirencester Town.
So a Welsh Soccer Super League could have.
Tier One.
1.
Cardiff City.
2.
Swansea City.
3.
Wrexham.
4.
Newport County.
5.
Merthyr Town FC.
6.
Bristol City FC.
7.
Bristol Rovers FC.
8.
Tranmere Rovers.
9.
Chester FC.
10. Crewe
Alexandria.
11. Forest
Green Rovers.
12. Shrewsbury
Town.
13. Macclesfield.
14. The
New Saints.
15. Connah’s
Quay Nomads.
16. Cheltenham
Town.
Second Tier.
1.
Telford Town.
2.
Gloucester City.
3.
Hereford.
4.
Cirencester Town.
5.
Caernarfon Town.
6.
Bala Town.
7.
Aberystwyth Town.
8.
Colwyn Bay.
9.
Barry Town United.
10. Flint
Town United.
11. Llanelli
Town.
12. Vauxhall
Motors.
13. Runcorn
Linnets.
14. Runcorn
Town.
15. Warrington
Town.
16. Penybont.
This would mean a high standard in both tiers. Plus European
football, and English knockout cups for the top sides.
I am against a British league merger. I want 3 strong
leagues on the island of Great Britain, not just one or two.
My idea would be reforms that makes the Scottish, and Welsh
leagues stronger.
The Welsh would benefit as their league would be stronger.
The English would benefit as more of their teams could
qualify for European football.
There would still be a Welsh Cup.

How About Scotland, Ireland, And The Dutch Having Teams In The Hundred Cricket League?
At present the cricket league called The Hundred has 8
teams.
My idea to improve it, would be to add Scotland, the
Netherlands, and Ireland having their own teams.
That would grow cricket in parts of Europe, where cricket
would develop.
People like cricket in Scotland, Ireland, and the Netherlands.
At present the teams in The Hundred are, Birmingham Phoenix,
London Spirit, Manchester Originals, Northern Superchargers, Oval Invincibles,
Southern Brave, Trent Rockets, and Welsh Fire.
There could be the Scottish, the Irish,
and the Dutch, having their own teams.
Or even a combined European team, called the European Wanderers, that represents Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands, and other parts of Europe, that do not have franchises in The Hundred.
This could increase the market size, TV ratings, and sponsorship.
Maybe other areas likes Italy, France, and the Channel Islands could have their own sides in The Hundred.Grant Hanley Signs For Hibernian.

Celtic Nations Golf Team
How about a Celtic Nations Golf Team made up of the best
Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Isle of Man, Cornwall, and Brittany golfers?
This could be done at professional, amateur, male, and
female golf. Even at different age ranges.
I would like a Celtic Nations Golf Team of composite nations
like they have the British and Irish Lions at rugby union, and the West Indies
at cricket.
A Celtic Nations Golf Team could play major nations like the
USA, England, Australia, South Africa, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Italy, France, and Germany.
There could be a challenge of the Celtic Nations v the USA,
or England.
Scotland is the home of golf. And Scotland would often produce
some top players for a Celtic Nations Golf Team.

The Scottish National Conference Cup.
I think there should be a Scottish national non-league cup.

sides, the top 8 Scottish Junior sides from the Scottish Junior leagues. The
top 14 Scottish Lowland League sides. And the B teams of all 12 Scottish
Premiership sides.

6 Scottish Highland League
8 Scottish Junior League sides.
14 Scottish Lowland League sides.
12 Scottish Premiership B sides.
Total 40 sides.

team in their group once. Two home games, and two away games.
The top team of each group plays in the quarter-final. This is followed by a semi-final, and a final.
The teams with the best record in the group stages have home
advantage.

Women’s Football At Commonwealth Games.
With Glasgow set to host the Commonwealth Games in 2026, I
think that the Commonwealth Games should have women’s football as part of the event.
Teams like Scotland, Wales, Canada, Northern Ireland,
England, Australia, Nigeria, and New Zealand would do a good job. At the very
least they could allow under-21 women’s sides in the Commonwealth Games. Women’s
football is growing, so the Commonwealth Games could be part of that.
