What is happening to Our APAT?
APAT:
I will merge the content from the two threads together as we are going around in circles. Everyone is free to have their say.
--- merged now (hence some repeated answers above) ---
George2Loose:
this place is like a soap opera sometimes lol
Disagree with you Paul- sure there may be people buying up seats to sell them on to gain a % but I strongly doubt it and should it get out of hand Im sure Des and co will change the rules very swiftly

I have responded on the other topic aswel Des, " weather etc".
I never meant to personally offend anybody. You or others may not like what you hear from me. I do not think i am "WAY" out of line.
I am not pleased with what i am seeing, i thought i was entitled to an opinion.
So now i have opened a topic, so that i can get the feel of my fellow Apater"s and what they think about the bartering. Maybe it is just me, but i would still like to hear from other members. Perhaps i am being too soft, or worrying too much.
I still feel, that should i win a seat, then sell it for full face value plus 25% of £3,500 Approx plus a seat at a GUkPT, then it amounts to a free bet with no risks, and i don"t see how that can come under the umbrella of, "Amateur" staus.
Also, i do not agree with asking for a seat for another person. I know some people don"t have access to pc"s, and that there aren"t any regionals.
I again apologise beforehand if i offend anyone personally, that is not my intent.
Welcome all responses.
Cheers
Paul

Completely value your opinion Paul and if you"d taken a moment to read the thread I referred you to, you would have seen that a decision had already been taken to discontinue the percentage add on from our next event. The bit I disagree with is your reference points to APAT above.
APAT:
For info, the text of my two messages linked to above read:-
1.
The percentage element has gotten out of hand and we will be stopping it following this event. From the Welsh Amateur Championship onwards, transfers will be strictly face value.
2.
Fair play to both, but in no way should that be seen as a criticism of any of the other seat transferers, who have sold their seats within agreed guidelines.
Unfortunately it is now becoming messy and we reserved the right to put a stop to any element that had the potential to take the transfer process into disrepute. I don"t believe that we have reached that point, but as seat demand increases throughout the season so too will potential abuse.

Cyntaf:
I have had pc problems for the past few months now. Having paid for sats, then not be able to play without sitting out every 30 to 90 secs etc. Also getting spurious messages and posts being entered twice, all of there own accord You can see this a number of times if look through my last N months. Credit me with some intelligence?
I did not post this twice, i also did not have a go at APAT, i was sticking up for it.
Admittedly, as you put it slightly over the top.
I can"t believe you would think this post came about me not having a seat :-[
I assure you a similar message would have been posted had ii been first to qualify for Walsall. The future of APAT was in my thought, no more no less.
I did not sit here until 4a.m. reading all threads before posting, perhaps i should have.
Anyway, if i can"t post on something i felt this strongly about, then i can"t see the point in posting on lesser or lighter subjects.
I really don"t appreciate being be-littled because of a computer glitch, or dare anybody question your reply.
No circling intended, yours thoughtfully
Paul
P.S. Hope to see you soon Des, if not Walsall, maybe the next. Beer on me. :)
Tune in for the next episode George. ;D
