maqroll Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Proposal: An annual knockout "Midlands Cup" held concurrently with the regular season, featuring: Aston Villa Nottingham Forest Wolves Stoke City West Brom Derby County Coventry City Small Heath Would be a fun way to raise the profile of Midlands football.

The_Rev Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 They still do. The Birmingham Senior cup has been going for nearly 150 years, I think it draws from the counties which make up the West Midlands (Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Shropshire) and Villa play in it. Naturally it’s seen as a reserve/youth level competition by the bigger clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
