Ireland Merged Teams?
coprey:
Belfast are currently building a team for this league. With a little under two weeks till the first game we currently have 11 players signed up. As captain I expect that number to continue to climb towards 20 and beyond. Any talk about "paltry activity" and talk of Team Belfast not having a hope of competing is disappointing to me, and hinders my ability to attract new players to our team. To me taking part and team spirit is half the fun, not the winning.
With regards to a merge Im not against the idea on principle, but with Dublin having so few players, it doesnt look like an attractive proposition.

I"m sure the Dublin team would disagree.

This is a v good attitude, but not one that will be shared by potential recruits. I know we will not have some excellent players playing for us, who did in S3 that will not play as they feel that they cannot compete for the seats. I will play every week I can regardless, but just because the team spirit and taking part is a draw for current APAT members, it will not go far as to bringing new ones in.
That said, I would love to hit 20+ for Belfast. I have been searching for other NI/Belfast poker forums and will continue to do so, but options are limited for places to get new players. Fingers crossed it works out as u imagine it will!!
