Cardiff and the Welsh Cup

A return to the Welsh Cup?
All Bluebirds fans on my list here feel free to add me on Facebook if u hasn’t already Could Cardiff City find a way back into Europe via the Welsh Cup? The BBC are reporting that the FAW are about to end the 16-year absence of the Bluebirds plus Swansea City, Newport County and Wrexham, but it seems not Colwyn Bay and Merthyr Town. It would be unfair to exclude Colwyn Bay and Merthyr Town from any possible return of the exiled six.

According to the article on the BBC website the plan has been discussed at FAW council meeting recently, it could well cause some discord among the Welsh Premier League teams. It's not sure if the clubs would be interested in the Welsh Cup anyway. It would mean more games to fit in to any already congestion On the question of a place in Europe it would be in the lap of Uefa and the English FA to see if they would be allowed entry to the Europa League.

The likelihood could be the clubs would use a reserve team until the latter stages of the competition something the FAW have frond upon in the past.
