I can understand it. What is so wrong with the lower divisions having a competition to them selves without the first division. It keeps them playing longer and gives them a chance of a trophy that they wouldn't have a chance in otherwise. I agree that the majority of first Div players wouldn't want to enter the plate, but there will be some that will lose there first round match, or not even turn up for it, just to have an easier time of it. We'll just have to wait and see how many first div players enter the plate this summer and how many are still in it by the semi's, and if a first div player wins it.
Because that creates the 'us and them' culture that we're trying so hard to eradicate . .
The lower divisions are lower for a reason . . Because they're not the best . . They'll just have to deal with it . . Why should everyone be catered for because they're not good enough . . It's pathetic . .
Remember when World Rules was voted in? The proposal was to put it in Division One only but it was amended n the night of the AGM because the lower divisions didn't want to be left out and therefore create an 'us and them' situation . . They can't have it both ways . .
