I would. Beats the boring friendlies. Should be a rule where you must have so many under 20s in squad though.

Great idea but maybe have it as a reserve grade comp with a handful of first team players??

I have always loved cup games, the Yorkshire cup was always a good one to win, what a financial boost for some of the lower placed clubs if they entertained any of the Yorkshire super league clubs, shame we are not in it from the start

As much as i'd love a proper Yorkshire Cup with all the Yorkshire teams competing, I've no problem with it being just the lower division teams. York are dark horses for it for me.

Although, how good would it be if there was a Yorkshire Cup and Lancashire Cup and both winners played each other in a war of roses final.

US old ones will remember the floodlight cup, John Player besides the Yorkshire cup, it will be argued that the players will have burn out, ask the likes of Clive Dickinson and a few more old players how they managed, when they also had full time employment most in physically demanding jobs

Good call, the higher the Division the more U20s that you need to play (say min 8 for SL teams, 5 for Champs, full squad for league one)...would be much more interesting, better for young players and good chance for part-time lower league sides to cement their teams pre-season. I see they are doing double-headers too which usually creates some good attendances.
