greyhoundp Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Basically the draw has been done on a regional basis, why dont the powers that be just say that, as for dates, why doesnt the NL use it as a seasonal Opener, then go into League meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 If it was done on a regional basis, why wasnt Stoke & Dudley put together, and Mildenhall & Kings Lynn put together?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 If it was done on a regional basis, why wasnt Stoke & Dudley put together, and Mildenhall & Kings Lynn put together?. Last year Dudley had Buxton so that's the same. Isle of Wight had Rye House who are essentially Kent, again the same. Now they have to mix it up somehow so Mildenhall couldn't have King's Lynn as they had them last year, and Stoke had Scunthorpe so obviously they have to have a different team. I'm sure the BSPA don't want two 'main' standalone teams meeting each other in round 1, and Dudley already have challenge meetings arranged with Coventry and may race Stoke again in the Staffordshire cup (or something!), so Mildenhall get Coventry. Last years semis were Mildenhall vs Isle of Wight and Dudley vs Stoke, arguably the 4 biggest standalone teams in the league so they had to be kept apart at round 1 (which has happened again) and allows for 'local' sides to meet further in the competition. A cynical view I know, and the concept I have no issue with, just why can't the BSPA be open and say the cup is regionalised to save money? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really makes me chuckle when they refer to who has drawn who. Yeah, like a draw actually takes place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundp Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) I thought it was for roynon and Clegg .Isherwood for perry, and greaves for white williams, no its debatable who was for who, except down at reserve.

berniev123 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I thought that Adam was out into the EL & PL so 11.6 down with still no hopes of keeping the majority of the 2012 team....then we had to have 7 to conform with 2013 team building regulations........Then at least 4 more had to move to accommodate this.... so we had to add 5 to the 2 we kept from 2012 to keep within the 2013 40 point limit! hope this make sense as does anybody really know, except NP, CVS, GP & Will, who replaced who in my beloved Heathens?
