In return I respect your alternative view,.... but I wonder if you have any suggestions? For me, having those half a dozen names you mention is a good starting point, but I have seen quoted that to have a successful national team, you need to have a minumum of 50 ( yes FIFTY) home qualified...
They dont need to, there are already rules that state clubs have to play the strongest possible team, we have seen clubs sanctioned by the FA for not adhering to it. You doi realise that these 'clubs' will be an entity like any club, having to name at the start of the season, its squad, and...

This sort of comment makes me chuckle, you do realise that nationally there is a very normal 5-7% of ST holders who don't take their seats in any given game. Holiday, work, sickness, travel issues all contribute to what is NOT unique to us, and is not made up of the same people each week as some...
Its not brain surgery is it?...
1) School night
2) Historic evening game travel shenanigans
3) 1st leg, nothing gets resolved Thursday.
4) Some antipathy due to stumbling into 6th.
5) Live on TV
6) Short notice.
