Who gives a flying funk about the League Cups in our respective countries?
Scotland doesn't get a Uefa place for winning the CIS Cup anymore, england could transfer their Carling Cup Uefa place to the EPL and reward the 7th (?) place team on a consistent season rather than the lucky team who beats Man Utd reserves/lucky lower league opposition.
So the format:
Domestic until 2 teams from each country are left, then have two eg British semi finals and a one leg final. Rotate the final venue between england and Scotland on an annual basis.
Just an idea, might be a bit of fun and might make for a bit more competition.

Good Idea for all teams, it would generate more publicity as a stage cup or final with winners of league playing each other (Scot vs Eng) This would give a good training match for teams serious about winning the Campions League.
they could create a knock-out cup like that of FA Cup, with Scottish league teams and Welsh league teams and English League team and Irish league teams all fighting to win the Anglo Cup.
Or you could change the FA Cup so it would include participants from the whole UK and not just England, they have made big changes before so why not again.

I'd rather see the annual Home Internationals brought back rather than that, to be honest. Club championships are more a test of the owners chequebook size than of any footballingskill attached to the town the team plays for. Most Chelsea players couldn't point to Chelsea on a map!

There used to be an Anglo-Scootish Cup but Scottish sides just couldn't compete. Chesterfield once knocked Rangers out of it and Burnley beat Celtic. Outside of Rangers and Celtic Scottish Premier sides would probably struggle against English championship sides.

Interesting, but I fear that it will be an all England final on a regular basis.
How about the winners of both competitions meet to decided who is the Best of Britain?
