I think grandparent is stretching it too far in my opinion.
A few other observations/opinions:
- Yes you get expenses to play in Olympiad. Its one of few privileges CS can offer.
- This is backdoor for some I think no question. I'd so same if I was good enough and had the opportunity.
- Whether you support England, Scotland or anyone else is an irrelevance.
- "You can play if we cannot raised a team" - That is just soooo silly!
- Any player wishing to affiliate with CS should pay their own affiliation fee - I believe some rose tinted spectacles may have led to a bad decision on this point once before - please let's not repeat that particular mistake.
This pretty much mirrors my own opinion on the matter
(Hopefully it also mirrors what I wrote the last time this subject came up on the forum!)
