I agree entirely with Mr Deegan and all our team feel the same. Claiming games is just wrong. |

Have to agree with Mr Deegan some of us work in London and find it hard to get to a venue by 8.15, so, to do so many of us forgo seeing our kids on a Tuesday. I have to admit that the only team that has *******ED me off this season is the Bloodhounds who turn up to an away venue and demand the card at 8.06 our secretary (who should have told you to get lost) felt under pressure to fill in the form playing our weakest team all season the full team were there at 8.15, but that was too late.proper first division sides show each other a bit of leeway and a bit of respect.

Games aren't finishing all that late generally, perhaps we could go back to 8.30 start? |

That's a proper Sir Alex 'Nuttman' Ferguson rant, three weeks before their rematch with the Hounds. |

The matches could go back to an 8:30 start for the winter. Its too late to change anything for the summer as a change would need to be voted in at an AGM
I am not sure that this would be carried though because although many matches are not finishing late, there are still some that are against slower teams.
Introduction of the minute rule may help to speed up matches |

Thank you Mr Saxton, I know all about AGMs and rules and regs etc.
You're probably right Alex but when the start time was 8.30 a lot of matches didn't start till 8.45. |

Then people will turn up at 8.45 instead of 8.30. All it did, moving the 'official' start time to 8.15, was ensure that most games now start by 8.30. I can't honestly remember ever being in a match actually starting at 8.15.
Before anyone else says it, yes I know I'm Division 3 and should go back to my own threads.

I think a few people are missing the point I am making. I'm NOT looking to claim games and I understand that people have to travel (Darren lives in East London and commutes each week).
My understanding was that the game starts at 8.15pm, which means the card would need to be filled in before that time. I don't mind if the team is running late, but just let us know (.... I still don't think that standing outside smoking is 'running late' though).
With regards to us showing a bit of 'respect', perhaps the rules need to be a little bit clearer. We are not deliberately trying to get teams to play their weaker players, we are just trying to start on time!  |

I think it was actually Darren who said he wanted to clam games, for purely shellfish reasons. |

a good scond set from the hounds
can some please let the legion that tuesday night matchs start at 8.15 not 8.50 and that is when they are at home
at 8.15 they only had 2 players at purley and not one of them was the secretary.so we could not even fill the card in so that we could clam the frames that we could.
please bring on the summer asap with the 60 sec time clock
potterman if thats the way you want to win games by claiming them then you really are one sad person.
mind you after watching your player who played at number 1 i can see why you need to claim games!
