Yes but I am all for it if it involves us.

Not sure how we (or the Ugly Sisters or Aberdeen) are meant to fit the fixtures in when we're going to be playing in four competitions already.
The season they were runners up they lost 3-1 away to Burnley in the 1st round 1st leg but beat them 4-1 in the return leg.
Hearts played in the tournament in all the 5 seasons it existed.
The tournament was for teams that hadn't qualified for Europe so Hibs never played in it.
Northern Irish and ROI teams played in it the first 2 seasons but didn't appear after that.
Airdrie were the only other Scottish team to make it to a final but again lost by a goal over 2 legs to Derby County.
Rangers should focus on winning their own version of the League Cup before requesting to take part elsewhere.
We would probably get millwall away
Think it’s a great idea, a potential money spinner and would create a lot of excitement, interest and raise our profile. Any English club would relish a trip to Edinburgh and bring a large support.
Who’s for an away trip to Newcastle, London, Brighton or Blackpool or do you fancy yet another trip to Greenock, Motherwell, Hamilton or Airdrie?
As for the Orcs not being welcomed, the truth down here is that they are very popular and would be welcomed wherever they were drawn, even in Manchester!
The club should be looking to expand our horizons and escape the micro fishbowl we currently compete in. We definitely do not want to pass up any opportunities and get left behind! Even if the result is it diminishes the chance of winning a piece of silver wear.
