Would it? When were the 19/20 league competitions finished after lockdown was declared? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doonhamer doon south Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 If "foreign" sides are likely to be missing for this year's competition, are we therefore likely to see more participants from Highland and lowland league to bolster the numbers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Will probably just go back to the old 10+10+10+2 all in draw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghBlue Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Reports in the press today that this will be shelved for this season. When (if?) it comes back it should be without foreign teams and Premiership reserves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the colts in the sea but the ‘foreign’ teams are a very good addition. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I don't think a format for 2020-21 was ever decided. So it could have been anything since they've tweaked it a number of times in the last 10 years. But there's a couple non-SPFL clubs that aren't happy with how this has been handled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Maybe the announcement should have been delayed. However had the non-league clubs been formally invited or have they just assumed it because other sides that finished in their position have been invited in the past? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not letting those teams know before putting it out publicly isn't good but I'm not sure they can complain too much about not being consulted on the decision - they are invited clubs in another league's competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone could have been invited to a competition the SPFL weren't sure would be played. So it's a disappointment over the lack of communication. Which isn't surprising from the SPFL. If I'm remembering correctly some the recent chances were sprung on SPFL members based on the Competition Committee's decisions without consultation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to take the Dundee vote fiasco, at the time there was no need for a statement before all votes were in, and even if they did a short statement about requesting votes to be in for 5pm however the clubs have 28 days to respond and they await remaining ballots. It seems they have a over keenness to be first to press and they put that above making sure the internal comms are properly completed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
