Shildon Association Football Club is a football club established in 1890 based in Shildon, County Durham, England. Home games are played at Dean Street, and we are currently members of the Ebac Northern League Division 1.
I have an idea for the FA Trophy, to improve it. How about inviting into the FA Trophy as guests, all Scottish Premiership sides not in Europe, all Scottish Championship sides and all Welsh Cymru Premier sides into the FA Trophy? The Scots have been allowed Irish and Welsh sides in the Scottish Challenge Cup. I do not support having a British League as that would be logistical nightmare for some Scottish sides,. 20 trips a season over the border would be too tough for some smaller Scottish sides. But a handful of trips to England and Wales each season would be awesome. I would love my fave sides to have regular games against English and Welsh sides each season. I think the best of both worlds would be to have cross border Pan-Great Britain Cups on top of domestic and European football. Scottish and Welsh sides in the FA Trophy would help the trophy in terms of scale. Plus it would make it like European football for non-league sides, The Scots would get the chance to play decent English and Welsh sides. While the Welsh would benefit on a transformational scale economically. Imagine games like Aberdeen v York City, The New Saints v Hibernian, Caernarfon v Queen of the South, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, v Dorking Wanderers, Bromley v Ayr United, Ross County v Runcorn, Dundee v Gateshead. Shildon AFC or Consett AFC against Scottish sides would be cool. Diolch. Thanks. Thanks for reading my post.
