| Richard Burnett (DUB) | Yes, by playing a playoff against 8th in their div. | I am not doing this out of personal interest, but out of a genuine belief that the holder should defend the competition. the playoff system is a fair compromise. |
| Stephen Williams (ITP) | No only teams that finish top 8 should enter | For this season anyway. Otherwise playoff vs 8th in Div 2 if Mike agrees. Euro Cup winners don't get automatic pass. |
| Rob Lye (TNS) | No only teams that finish top 8 should enter | |
| James White (NJN) | No only teams that finish top 8 should enter | |
| Les Lithgo (NHL) | No only teams that finish top 8 should enter | |
| Roy Rolsten (LD) | No only teams that finish top 8 should enter | As opposed to the outrageous situation when Liverpool finished 5th in the Premiership and were suddenly granted a place for winning the Champions League! |
| Tyron Barnard (CN) | No only teams that finish top 8 should enter | |
| Colin Scott (OPT) | Yes, take the place of 8th in their division | I think they should replace the 8th team in Div 2 though. |
| Marc Legowski (CPT) | No only teams that finish top 8 should enter | |
| Dan Fitzgerald (SFR) | No only teams that finish top 8 should enter | |
