Very puzzling. My initial hunch was that neither side would *want* to take part. But equally it's hard to believe they were required by the conference to participate, since I can't imagine they'd be able (or want) to force two clubs into a tournament that others weren't required to play in.Mikel Bee wrote:Presumably because they were the two highest finishing non league clubs last season who weren't promoted?becbee wrote:With all due respect to Borehamwood and Sutton, why do the organisers of this competition want them in it anyway? I guess the majority of people in Scotland won't have even heard of either club / the towns they represent.
So, Irn Bru qualification may be our consolation prize next season if we don't go up.
And irmt's not obvious what the incentive would be for the Scottish teams. Can't imagine Borehamwood are a massive draw north of the border.
