Mark came out with a gobsmacking stat last night, which underlines the need for change, which thankfully got voted in.
50% of result cards across the board come in with "Picked Again" players.
So HALF the teams turning up on a tuesday are short of players!!!
This STILL wasn;t good enough for some, who as Danny said, just seem to argue for the sake of arguing.
Shame really.
The worst thing is, that there is this general consensus that we (division 1) are simply trying to get our way, but it is however the complete opposite. We care about the league as a whole. I've got friends in every division FFS!!!
When will some people see, we're not trying to rob you!!! We're trying to help you. . . .
