The Great British Vase – A Pan-Great Britain Non-League Cup.
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.

He is scoring goals for German 2. Bundesliga club SV Darmstadt 98.
He is a tall Scottish football player.
He has played for Scotland at under-17, under-19, and under-21 levels.

Welsh Soccer Super League Idea.
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 Have Teams In The Hundred Cricket League?
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.But I would still want Scotland, Ireland and the Netherlands to keep their own international sides.
Maybe even the USA could have a team in The Hundred. As cricket has potential in the USA.

Celtic Nations Golf Team
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.
Thanks.

The Scottish National Conference Cup
The Scottish National Conference Cup.
I think there should be a Scottish national non-league cup.
I would call it the Scottish National Conference Cup.
The cup could involve the top 6 Scottish Highland League
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.
When the Lowland League East and West are brought in, there
could be 7 teams from each Scottish Lowland League, East and West.
The idea is for;
6 Scottish Highland League
8 Scottish Junior League sides.
14 Scottish Lowland League sides.
12 Scottish Premiership B sides.
Total 40 sides.
There could be 8 groups of 5. With each team playing each
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.
