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.
