Quote: Father Ted "Agree with the thoughts about the C Cup.
The SL clubs should come in at the last 16 stage, so the 14 of them would be joined by two Championship clubs.
Have that as a Magic weekend. A whole round of the CC at one venue, eight games over two days. The BBC would have their two matches or more if they wanted. Perhaps bring SKY into the CC alongside the beeb.
We already have the CC semis and final at neutral grounds so why not the SL club's opening round?
Having it as it is now which is a 27th game is plain daft. We have a 14 team league where clubs play each other home and away making 26 games. Absolutely ideal. We do not need a 27th game.
Clubs, players and coaches have been going on for years about there being too many games causing player burnout. Then here's how to get rid of two games.
Stop the 27th game, the "Tragic" event, then cut out a round of the CC for SL clubs and bring them in at the last 16 stage.'"
players having a burnout after 32 games a season? what about before sl started when we had regal trophy, lancashire cup cc and premiership final? surely there was a lot more games then than there was now?
what we need to do is bring back these old competitions to give people a chance of winning silverware and teams who win league are the champions. no wonder the sport is getting laughed at.
