| I'm at a loss to see how Sunderland & newcastle make the 'possiblers'.
Why should support levels have anything to do with it? If you are good
enough, you're in.

| Denis, you've mentioned HAMMERS twice, once as a definite no-no, are we
to assume that you mean hammerTHROWERS for the latter, such as Sourpuss
described. (not meaning himself, of course)
My personal opinion is that there will NEVER be a British league
set-up, there would be too many complications with respect to their
inclusion in the Euro club tournaments, i.e. there may still be other
so called smaller leagues within each country, run by their FA'S.
How would this operate in Euro qualification, would there be British
league representatives as well as Irish (North), Welsh, English and
Scottish ?
After all, the other clubs not included in the British league would
still be operating, and be governed by their own FA's, therefore they
have every right to consideration for qualification to Euro
tournaments.
Apart from anything, it could'nt really be construed as a British
league, since, as yet, there appears to be no scope for the inclusion of
Welsh and Northern Irish clubs.

| What about, as an alternative, an annual fixture permanently at
Wembley, between either the Scottish and English cup holders for
the British Cup, or between the respective league champions for
a British Championship!

| What about holding it at the new Madjeski Stadium, Readings new 60,000
all-seater which is going to be built shortly (in the next few years).
An ideal central location for all supporters !!!

| Re. -1
He is the Chairman at Reading. He announced on Tuesday that he would be
building us a new stadium that would be capable of holding World Cup
games and it would be a complex that will include a cinema, hotel and
various sports facilities.....Watch this space (or note 38).

| A couple of seasons back both Newcastle and Sunderland were invited by
5 teams North of the border to make a Super League. Nothing ever came
of it in the end.
I would prefer to have two divisions in the league, each consisting of
18 teams, with a two up two down relegation/promotion and scrap the
playoffs. I would also use the rest of the leagues (Eng 1st, Scots 1st
etc) to have one team promoted to the super league, ie winners of the
Eng 1st v winners of Scots 1st over two legs, the winners gaining
promotion.
My teams for the super league would be:
Rangers Celtic Aberdeen Hearts Dundee Utd
Man Utd Liverpool Arsenal Leeds U Tottenham
Man City Chelsea Newcastle Norwich Hibs
Sunderland West Ham Sheff Wed Wolves Blackburn
I'd grab a few more of the Scottish teams and a couple of Welsh and
N.Ireland teams as well to make it more of British Super League.
However, would we then scrap the FA, SFA, WFA and NIFA? I think not as
we would lose valuable UEFA votes if we were to form a British FA. As
it stands now all 4 FA's get a certain amount of votes in UEFA meetings
and if we were to lose them it could us dearly in Europe.
Any thoughts anyone??? I know this topic is a little bit outdated but I
thought I'd try and resurrect(sp?) it.

| Oops, sorry, it wasn't deliberate, honest.
I'll probably get complaints from Reading fans as well:-)
With regards to Sunderland, we'll be there by the turn of the century.
Probably still with the same board and 7 different managers will have
came and gone. Bennett will still be playing in defence, we'll be
playing to capacity crowds week in, week out at Roker (should be down
to about 10k by then) and the board will still be promising to build
this huge 48,000 all seater stadium in Washington....
I think its time I had a pint

Ok, I know its Christmas, but a team from Wales?? Who exactly do you
have in mind??

| No idea, I just think if we had a couple of teams from Wales in there
it would help them to improve their game by playing quality opposition
every week. And besides, we couldn't have a BSL without teams from
Wales etc. It would be good for football to see someone like
Cardiff/Swansea giving teams like Man U/Liverpool the run around.

Rich, the weather's quite bad. There's a little snow where I live and
it's too cold and wet to play football (thrown in, just to keep the mods
happy).
