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.

Np mate luton n scotland v the rest then? Or would we have too many people? hmmmm lol ;)
I was still fairly new to APAT then but Believe it or not, we (Glasgow) were happy the way it was before aswell, our team were looking forward to going up to Div one after again building a decent team that got us there. Then it was that we had too many players (ring a bell?) We were made to start again and get another team together and we got on with it and did get another strong team together. I get what you are saying but Are we just gonna keep asking to change it to the point where we have capped teams and defeating all purpose of what APAT do?
My main point is that everyone has the same avenues to build new teams and forge new friendships and comradery which we have done first hand. So for some to say "they got more people that aint fair" is just poor losing IMO build to compete dont complain to deplete should be the new motto. lol ;D

Missing out on on calling people "sheep shaggers" or "poofs"? I"m very happy to miss out, thank you very much

In addition I certainly am not homophobic in any way shape or form, so request that you retract the insinuation that I am. Altho to be fair I am pretty anti animal cruelty and if you have seen any of the Welsh team you will know what I mean. ;D

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.

I genuinely feel sorry for you then, as you are really missing out. :"( :"( :"(

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)
