Things have moved on in West Bromwich, Brian is now moving away from old fashioned social media towards innovative new communication techniques that are proving popular

Interesting to see all the Facebook groups springing up for the region teams....... it"s not that long ago that Brian Yates was lambasted for trying to get the West Midlands team to use a Facebook group as a focus. It was pointed out that West Mids might be colluding by using Facebook, and that this forum should be the only focal point for teams.
Looks like Facebook is considered to be ok now, and that perhaps Brian was trying to cheat after all?

Can"t speak about the "cheating" element of your post Steve. I think Facebook is a great tool for promoting the whole league and introducing APAT to new players. To that end, facebook pages with a "Like" button that can be viewed by everyone, give each region and therefore the overall league the highest profile.
I believe that "open" groups give a similar visibility.
You are always going to get people suggesting that teams are colluding whether it be on facebook, msn, phones, or even being sat in the same room.
The reality is that the significant majority of APAT players wouldn"t even dream of doing any of this, and would also raise concerns if that heard of any players that were involved.
Clearly Brian is a visionary ;D

Have to agree fabebook is a great way of promoting and also talking team tactics
Was never used for what was suggested in steves post
And as Des is now on most of these if not all of these groups I think this will rule out any possible allegation of collusion or cheating
AMRN:
Agree Leigh - it was quite disappointing (and offensive) at the time to see people suggesting that we might be using Facebook for the wrong reasons, but in line with the groundswell of opinion, we stuck to the APAT forum for anything West Mids team related.
Good to see that everyone is catching up and that we can all get in the real world now.
That said though, I think we need to try and get Pokerstars linked on all the regional team Facebook pages - I doubt it would be good for our sponsorship if we took much of the league related traffic away from their logos and links on the forum.
