Chinnor have no league fixtures after October 19th until November 30th. Presumably there will be a Cup competition during this period ?

There are two big gaps, which are the autumn internationals and the six nations. We assume the cup will happen in those periods. But, if you are knocked out, you are going to need to find friendlies to cover the end of the second gap.

There would appear to be 6 cup matches for each club Not sure how the pools will be structured but with 6 games it would be logic to be pools of 4 with home and away. However if this includes premier clubs that makes 22 teams again there is a quarter , (8 teams, Semi and final on three consecutive weekends so blank Saturdays for those teams who do not get through for three weeks in March plus a reserve weekend on 22nd Feb. Who ever wins the league will have 2 further matches in June against Bottom of Prem (so long as they can reach ground criteria) and then will have only a short time to recruit if the win, for the upcoming premiership season best of luck with that.

Why have a cup reserve week at beginning of block 1, isn't that really a league reserve week for catch up before the cup games start.

And of course, the odds are that most of the 8 quarter finalists will be Premiership sides. So all championship clubs should plan for four blank weekends.

Why? Championship sides should be able to defeat Premiership second teams surely?

Ealing was the only side in the top two of a pool last season. Coventry was the only other side to beat a Premiership side. The Premiership clubs have first call on all loan players, so the Championship sides are not at their strongest. Admittedly, the timing is different, last season the Premiership sides were using the matches as pre-season games, so they were not resting players.

It would be great if the top two teams in each pool went through to the knockouts. I think that would keep the pool stages interesting until the very end and would hopefully mean more Champ representation in the knockout rounds.

We do have quarter-finals this year, so it is the top two - out of six - in each pool. |

I've forgotten the purpose of the cup. Can anyone remember?
Seems to me that any team with less than 30 fixtures per season (40 hours playing time) will be looking down the barrel of a financial shotgun. Been there, done that, still have the Treasurer's psychological scars)
