arwebb Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 What do you make of the suggestion of bringing back the Home Internationals in 2013? I'd love them back regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotguy Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 So far it would only be a one off cause the English FA want to celebrate 150 years. This Carling Cup is great and i do not know why England are not joining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 No idea, but I'd certainly like to see us involved. For me, there's no reason why a tournament like this couldn't be played every two or four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4gamesandcounting Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Shocking to see how low the attendance figures were for these games. Questions 1) Would a full home internationals tournament with England involved, and home games for all teams be better attended? 2) Do we see the nations cup coming back in this format given the low attendances?
