I see the Peterhead boss wants league 1 and 2 scrapped next season if fans are unable to attend ! Seems a bit extreme but i can see why he would suggest it as teams down there could mothball themselves for a season. He said they only have 4 players right now and i assume that's part time contracts so instead of signing more players and having to pay them and no fans at the game it makes sense to shut things down.

Scrap the LC in England and Scotland and replace it next year with a ‘Thank you NHS’ cross border competition. Lower league teams might be able to sell more tickets if it’s a ‘foreign’ team rather than the usual? It would also bring some relevance and interest to a competition that in both countries is just a bit of an unnecessary headache.

Even if they just made it optional so only teams who felt it would be viable entered.Mon the Hibs.

......and seed it, make the top seeds all at home, guarantee the smaller clubs a big away day with more money than they could generate in a normal cup tie.

I’m sure they could play the league cup with a straight knockout competition. If the lower leagues are not back playing by october then there will be massive issue for them. The quicker everybdy concerned realises the earlier we can somehow navigate our way through it. Just constantly making statements won’t help anybody.

Play it as a straight knockout in the second half of the season.
Have a feeling we’ll be playing into June next season.

It’s been a pointless tournament for years. I’d much rather we put a wee UK tournament together.

Football is about winning trophies, and this is 1 of only 2 trophies available to us (realistically).

If the worst predictions on the damage from CV19 come about then it’s likely that we will end up in some sort of cross border league in order to save what clubs remain. Whether that is with England or further afield, I don’t know.
