Hello,
I try to make a database for GreatBritain (coming from Germany, so excuse my english)
I will base delete ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, WALES and Northern Ireland as own countries and put all together under GBR. Also the teams of IRELAND will participate in the league system of GBR.
My Opion is to do like this:
All people from ENG, WAL, SCO and NIR became the nationality GBR
1 national team GBR (and Ireland)
League structure:
Premier League (20 teams) => Prize Money like the english PL
2 teams from WAL; NIR; IRL
4 teams from SCO
10 teams from ENG
Championship (24 teams) => Prize money like the english CHL
3 teams from WAL, NIR; IRL
5 teams from SCO
10 from ENG
Third Division (with 5 regional Groups with 20 teams)
=> Prize money like the first national divisons (ENG League One)
WAL - IRL - NIR - SCO - ENG
The winner og each regional Group and the second in ENG is promoted
Fourth Division (with 5 regional Groups with 20 Teams)
=> Prize money like the second national divisions (ENG League two)
WAL - IRL - NIR - SCO - ENG
Lower amateur leagues, so that every team will particiapte at league level 3 only in his regional divisions
CUPS:
GBR FA-Cup (with all 246 teams of the 4 leagues above and 312 teams from lower "amateur" leagues)
Community Shield (Super Cup between PL ans GBR-Cup winner)
GBR-League-Cup (46 teams of the first 2 leagues, 14 teams qualified by the regional cups, one teams from every "amateur"league of WAL, SCO, NIR, ENG)
Setanta Cup (All 5 local regional cup winners + the last Setanta-Cup-Winner; played in league-system over the hole season)
The local regional cups (only teams from the third league and lower will partricipate)
IRL:
FAI-Cup (finalists will qualify for the GBR League-Cup)
WAL
Welsh Cup (finalists will qualify for the GBR League-Cup)
NIR:
Irish Cup (finalists will qualify for the GBR League-Cup)
SCO:
SFA-Cup (semi-finalists will qualify for the GBR League-Cup)
ENG:
England Trophy (semi-finalists will qualify for the GBR League-Cup)
