Might be fun��

Not worth the hassle or travel expenses.

If we get an “invitation”, can we not just say no?

[QUOTE=Wrexhm 1978;2255902]Imagine we got drawn away to someone like Sligo Rovers.

We would be a Welsh team
representing an English league
Playing in a Scottish competition
In Ireland!

I prefer the thought that if we get drawn against TNS we would be a Welsh team representing england against an english team representing Wales

I am pretty sure the invites are to the play off losers and the highest placed team not promoted. So it is academic. We will not be invited as it will be Solihull and Salford or Fylde that will "grace" the competition.

Another pointless, meaningless cup competition? No thanks.

Agreed. The FAT is enough on top of the FA Cup. No need for further non money spinning distractions.

That’s the key point. It’s not worth anything money wise.

I wonder what the process would be reject the invitation? Or should we use it to get fringe and youth teamers match fit?

I don't believe this to be correct.

If Salford win at Wembley and the SFA board does not invoke its right of discretion, we will be invited to the 2019–20 Scottish Challenge Cup.
