Bring Back British Home Championships?

[Gregory2Smith1]

in light of England,Northern Ireland & Wales qualifying for the 2016 European Championships,wouldn't it be nice to this grand old competiton re-introduced

much better than friendlies and security wouldn't be a problem these days

it'll never happen without sky's consent of course,but would you like to see it back?

I'm sure the other home nations would like an annual go at us

Northern Ireland were the last champions in 1984

 

[Javeaseagull]

No, it's over. Move on.

 

[Boy Blue]

More exciting than the World Cup and Euros.

3 games in a Week? The poor loveys couldn't cope.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

No, it's over. Move on.

move on to what?

playing Australia in a friendly

 

[melias shoes]

No, it's over. Move on.

Disagree. Bring it back.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

Northern Ireland v Slovakia on sky 972 now if you want some free footie tonight

 

[Javeaseagull]

Disagree. Bring it back.

What for? Being UK champions means what? They stopped playing them because nobody could be arsed to turn up except for the England v Scotland games.

We might be able to win it. So what if it means nothing. I use to enjoy it and still would.

I think if they played the matches today most stadiums would be full for such a competition

the last time it was played in 83-84 alot of league grounds were half empty

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

With the new Nations League there is no chance.

 

[atfc village]

Wales 3 N Ireland 0 2315 people bothered to turn up in 1982.

FIFA and EUFA would then grab the opportunity to only have one team from the UK in each major competition and use the home countries as the 1 group with the winners going forward, which is what they want but the home FAs have resisted it. So it has got to be NO the 4 or 5 FAs would never agree to it.

Wales 3 N Ireland 0 2315 people bothered to turn up in 1982.

And they'd probably sell out today.

Why not also bring back:

The Texaco Trophy
The Watneys Cup
Anglo Italian Cup

They are all of the same era and well past their sell by dates.

By all means remember these competitions with fondness but they including the Home International Championship have no place in the modern football world.
