how would your solution still retain the benefits the vast majority of us enjoyed of the last one. but instead you choose to denigrate the last one, I think that answers my question. Thanks.

Let me spell it out.....It wouldn"t have to do anything to match the "banter", "buzz" or "rivalry" I felt from the last one....not denigrating, just how it was for me.

Not going to go into all the negativity surrounding team sizes etc. guys as it seems to be a recurring (nonsensical) theme. All I will say is why not put that energy into doing as Team Scotland and others have done and get recruiting

I read in this thread how much of an advantage Scotland , Wales etc had with team size , can i just say that we grew that size from nothing a couple of years ago through recruitment and promotion, to the team it was last year , and resent the comments of unfairness made.
Are we really going to go back down this road again , it seems that this discussion arises in between every league break and is becoming tedious to say the least.

APAT has asked for a discussion, which is why there is one. You can"t close it down because you don"t like what people are saying. I don"t recall seeing negative statements, as you claim, apart from your own. What I have seen is people putting forward constructive ideas.
And the idea that other regions can go and recruit members like Scotland supposedly did is unfeasible. They don"t have the inherent advantage that Scotland has of people who grew up there but live somewhere else wanting to play for them.
You would like to keep this advantage. You can post your views to try to achieve that, but other people are entitled to post theirs, whether you resent it or not.

Firstly for the record I resent nothing. Theres no negativity intended in my post and if you read it that way then hey ho. The negativity is in the whole ridiculous argument of team sizes (in my opinion) ;) it"s just getting boring. Secondly why wouldn"t we want to keep an advantage that WE worked hard to build from nothing through the same avenues available to everyone on every team?? It"s perfectly feasible for every team to build this way and I would urge everyone to do it..... we welcome the chase ;D

Sef, this is not aimed at you personally in any way whatsoever, this is exactly what we said about our Luton team before it all changed and we were told it had to change. If it"s OK now why wasn"t it OK then is my point? Our team was split into at least 3 if not 4 regions, the comradery we had has gone, although friendships remain, but half of my friends don"t play any more because the "team" element they enjoyed is just not there anymore.

Since when was Luton a region of anywhere?
(Important User Advice: The above comment was made with my tongue fully in my cheek and anyone reading it should do so in the way it was intended and take no offence, as none is intended. ;) )
Seriously though, those that say that Scotland or Wales have an inherent advantage are simply talking complete and utter ******. Most of the other regions have the same if not larger population pools to choose from and if it was that hard, how come the north West, South East & North East have had no problems in recruiting & increasing their team sizes? Why not ask them, but i bet the answer will be they actively recruited instead of just moaning. ::)
(Important User Advice: This comment should be taken as read & any offence implied or indicated is fully meant ;) )

Yea you seem like the sort of person where banter would just fly right over your head. You probably sit frowning at the poker table too instead of enjoying yourself. Take a chill pill, relax and enjoy yourself fella. Thats what it"s supposed to be about. 8)
