Makes sense. IRN-BRU and various TV broadcasters are paying the SPFL to pay an English club to go and play an Irish club.

AsimButtHitsASix Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Non Premiership SPFL + Highland League/Lowland League Top Flights of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales, Faroe Islands and Iceland + "National Teams" of Shetland, Orkney, Western Isles and Isle of Man makes 128. Straight knockout tournament. Six rounds. Make it happen. I want my away day trips to Torshaven, Stornoway, Lerwick and Llandundo. (ETA: Although I "want" them I know we'll get put out away to Airdrie United in the first round anyway) Edited September 17, 2018 by AsimButtHitsASix 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 You have to fly or get a boat to Ireland, which is more expensive than a bus, and it's much more difficult to do it as a day trip because you have to sync up with those timetables. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I'm assuming the St Mirren Weans v QP match will be at the Feegiedome. Yes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrman2011 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Would the Challenge Cup be better IF Its between all 30 SPFL Clubs (Outside Premier) together with Highland & Lowland teams (34 clubs) Gives a nice round number of 64 teams involved, And everyone starts in the first round 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather looks like it'll be pish tomorrow. I'd imagine so as an EastStand season ticket holder it's a novelty to watch us from elsewhere in the stadium. Must admit I my last time in the West stand I missed the hight you have in the East. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its fairly doubtful you would find a sponsor for it to cover the loss of the foreign tv monies so it may be uneconomic to run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure it will survive without it. It survived in the SFL days because they subsidised it from central funds, something the SPFL will not do. It survived post merger because the presence of Rangers and then Hearts and Hibs raised profile and sponsorship. It might raise enough to run domestically, it might not. Its certainly likely the buttons prize money it brings now would be reduced further though. Its barely worthwhile now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
