My own summary of things based on the last year is quite different and I am not sure how well it will go down on here, but its very much say what you see in terms of where we were 1 year ago when things were discussed on the forum.
- Low turn out for Rich/Spens (just like last season).
- Little bit of forum discussion after events have finished (just like last season).
- Do more or less exactly the same thing for the next season (just like last season).
- Usual 7 or 8 entries for Rich, and 6 entries for Spens if its lucky to be expected (just like last season).
- All while a separate event with a different and more modern central venue format continues to prove popular and attract new teams (just like last season).
And the cycle goes on, same time, same place, next year for general end of season forum chat about it?
This is clearly a monster to tackle. Previous Director Keith seemed to put a lot of time and energy into things. Sensible changes like making the Spens a 5-a-side match (used to be 6) were made. Club feedback was positively and actively sought but yielded little. It needs a bit of boldness and bravery, or to put it another way, some serious change.
For what its worth, given the choice, my preference would be for my club to enter one of the National knockout competitions which in itself is a bit of a false description really as so many clubs are not involved. But in the current state of these events, it just won't happen. With another competition available that adopts a modern format, that is ticking all the boxes and has become my clubs priority for our next competition to participate in.
