And that's exactly why I am returning for the 2008 season . . Because it's time to stick our arses on the bacon slicer and represent . .

Tell me how much involvement the SCPA have in promoting the county within Croydon? Apart from yourself, point out how exactly the SCPA have promoted County to Croydon in recent years? Had it not have been for Trevor Herbert telling me about County 5 years ago there wouldn't be any Croydon Interleague at all . . I didn't even know about County up until that point and I had played in Croydon for 7 years at that point . . The point that it took you 17 years to get involved proves my point . .

The fact remains that the SCPA have always seen Croydon as the unreliable lot from the other side of the County . .

You say that the SCPA felt there was a 'lack of demand' for a presentation . . Fair enough, there is no CDPL representation on the SCPA committee but that still doesn't justify there being a 'lack of demand' . . The fact that there were winners, regardless of who it was, is demand enough . .

Who on the SCPA committee is responsible for Croydon A's trophies being presented to them a year late? Presentations aside, the fact that even a worthless gesture such as giving Gary a box of trophies still in bubble wrap didn't happen is an absolute travesty . .

I know Martin does a good job at County and you have helped him bring the SCPA to the forefront but the damage was done long before you arrived . . I can only presume Martin has you on commission :bite:
