i would but i've promised a guy a friendly for the week after the cup final

Well, we need another 3 atleast so your mate is more than welcome to join if he wants. Tell him to copy and paste the list and add his team to it :)

Your loss. You could've earned alot more money from playing top welsh sides compared to playing other new or low div teams from other countries :P

Problem, hes from POLAND or POLSKA as they say it.

Hi Vogue, When will we know the draw?
Are you waiting for teams or will someone have to drop out?

wrexhamboyo mentioned he had a mate that wanted to play in it. If he joins, we could just do a league with all 10 teams. Its not ideal and it'll only be 1 game per opponent but it is a solution to it.

Or if someone else does drop out, then we'll just have the 8 teams which would be better as everyone willl get a home and away game in the league stage.

we should have all the big clubs play away for the money

wrexhamboyo has just proved he has a brain

Its actually better off for the big clubs to play at home if its set up as a friendly as most of the time, the bigger club will have a better stadium meaning more money for both.
In a friendly league though, only the home team gets the money which is why 4 in each league with a home and an away game is better. Having a league with 10 in it aint really ideal as some teams will get 5 home games and some will only get 4 home games as it'll be 9 games each total and who gets what home games is something or the league starter cant control.

I'll try and sort everything out by saturday :)

All those involved, don't forget that you can't accept a friendly for next week, otherwise it'll mess up Vogue's planning

I have planning? :P

I have every confidence :-)

Well, with 9 ppl, I cant do anything :(
We either need 1 more or 1 to drop. 9 is just impossible.

Could do it.

9 weeks left, so

3 leagues of 3 - Home and away (4 weeks)

Top 2 qualify for League of 6 - 1 fixture each --> (5 weeks- finish week 15)
Winner takes the cup

Unfortunately, it would leave the bottom club in each league (3 teams) needing to arrange other fixtures for the last 5 weeks.

What do you think?

Just did a Random Number draw and came out with the following.

Interesting or scrap the whole idea?
1 Y Ddraig Goch
1 RJ's Welsh Warriors
1 H B M S

2 The Mighty Oak
2 Evans The Bread
2 LITTLE BRITIAN

3 Caerphilly Dragons FC
3 The Wrexfiles
3 Merthyr Tydfil F.C

We wouldnt be able to make friendly leagues with 3 teams, you need even numbers unless we did the leagues ourself and if we did do them ourself, it would also mean that 1 team each week wont have a game in their league and also it would last 6 weeks :P

However, even though it would be very awkward it is just about doable I guess and can be used as a last resort. The 2nd part would have to be changed though to something that lasted 4 weeks.
