Hi all, This is my first post on the forum so apologies if this is the wrong place to post this, But I'm having some problems creating a database and was hoping someone here could help me out? - Actually, to be honest I was hoping someone with much more knowledge and experience of creating FM Databases might like to have a crack at this one for me…

 

Inspired by the Coupe de France, I wanted to create a British Cup, which would involve teams from England (Premier League-L2, Scotland (Premiership-L2), Wales, Northern Ireland, and every British Overseas Territory (BOT's) that has any club teams in the game.

 

My initial thoughts are that in order to reduce fixture congestion, it would replace the Carabao Cup (And any other second tier domestic cups in the other leagues) and that any teams playing in Continental competition would be exempt from the cup for that season.

 

The general idea is that it would include a few preliminary qualification rounds for BOT's, followed by a group stage (Excluding top tier English and Scottish teams - they would enter in the first knock out round after. With the final venue alternating between Wembley, Hampden Park and the Principality Stadium.

 

Any other ideas and suggestions to improve the competition structure are welcome.
