Why didn't Ipswich play in the super cup after 1981 Uefa Cup win 12:32 - May 31 with 3849 viewsBlue12345

I wasn’t born then and don’t seem to be able to find out from the internet. There wasn’t a final played that year.
Thanks in advance

Because the Supercup was played by the winners of the Eurocean Cup and the Cup-winners Cup.

It would have been between winners of European Cup (Liverpool) and Cup Winners Cup (Dinamo Tbilisi).

But it wasn't held because the two clubs could not agree a convenient date due to fixture congestion.

Seemingly it was played over 2 legs till 1997.

And interestingly many neutrals thought quite rightly that the winners of the EUFA Cup that season were better than either of the other winners.

My impression is that these type of ultimate Cups are nothing of the sort. Had we been able to enter, and had we won, I don't think it would have merited a 4th star - though if I were from the neighbouring northern county, I'd doubtless be keener on the idea.

That Summer we were invited to the Joan Gamper tournament, the first English team to play in Barça's presentation.

I read a while back there were over 100000 at the two opening matches, we lost to Cologne so didn't get to play Barça (they also lost but to Vasco de Gama).

The Eufa Cup was always a stronger competition than the Cup Winners Cup anyway.

I remember the likes of Newport County and Wrexham being in the C-W Cup. On at least one occasion Newport reached the quarter-finals. The competition was that tough!

Probably the most pointless "competition" ever invented. The European Cup winners have already been crowned European Champions. So why get them to play the winners of a secondary trophy?

It would in theory have been the Cup Winners’ Cup as that took precedence if you qualified for both. E.g. if you finished third in the league and qualified for the UEFA Cup that way but also won the FA Cup and qualified for the Cup Winners’ Cup, you’d enter the Cup Winners’ Cup. In reality, there wasn’t much in it and the UEFA Cup was always regarded as the harder one to win.

Prestige wise the UEFA cup would probably have been seen as the better trophy and it was often considered the hardest to win, it tended to feature the teams who were performing at their best in that season.

The European Cup was obviously the big one, and indeed featured only the Champions in those days, but often they weren't the team that was to on to win a title that season being more of a snapshot of the previous season, some of those Champions would have lost players or form and would be chasing teams playing in the EUFA Cup.

There were also multiple teams from the strongest nations in the UEFA Cup, so it was usually harder to reach the latter stages. Whereas in the European Cup or Cup Winners’ Cup, you could make it to the semi finals by winning just three games, often without many major challenges.

An utterly pointless competition, which adds another match to an already bloated schedule. The European Cup winner was always regarded as the Champion club of Europe, so why add a game against the winner of a secondary trophy? Thanks, UEFA.

It's essentially UEFA's Charity/Community Shield, all a bit pointless but fun if you ever get the chance I guess?

The fact it wasn't played because a date couldn't be found tells you everything you need to know about the prestigiousness of the UEFA Super Cup.
