Not a terrible idea, would go some way to differentiating the League Cup from the FA Cup and giving it some point. I guess the issues comes from European spots, as neither FA would want to donate theirs.

I wouldn't mind it but I can’t see British clubs going for it, they won't really gain anything from it. We see British clubs play the old firm on a fairly regular basis in Europe so the novelty value has disappeared.
Scunthorpe v St Johnstone doesn’t quite have the same appeal.
Scottish clubs on the other hand need to do something to stop their domestic leagues dying a slow death so it makes sense for them to propose the idea.

Scottish Clubs are British clubs. |

I think by 'British Clubs', you meant to say 'English (and welsh) Clubs'?

Bad example! St Mirren Park is about 3 mins in a cab (or a 15 minute walk, if you want to stretch your legs) from Glasgow Airport. If we did get St Mirren on a Tuesday night, this one would just about be do-able! |

No thanks to a British League Cup. It's bad enough having to go to Carlisle, let alone Inverness Caley Thistle.

I like the idea of being ranked 15th within 5 years. Did they get Mr Whippy to come up with that? I wonder where the Corporate lawyer ended up after being bombed out as a non Exec Director of Royal United Hospital Bath - allegedly.
