As a neutral here I do feel sorry for Swindon last year and Poole this to a certain extent. It is not though the fault of the Bees if the rules are the way there are. It would have been fairer to give the league winners a head start as in 2009; but then in the final last year it started all square! There should be a control board that is not made up of people with vested interests to make the rules for 2011. The fact that Poole gave up at the end of the final made a poor impression on me, as they stil could have got 2 5-0 results in theory. They should surely have wanted to win the second match to keep their unbeaten record at home. I fail to understand why this has not been commented on more on what is a very long thread.
