whats the big difference between 5 man and 7 man then?
Just play 5 man, there is no coaching there either...

However, if 7 man does come back, can we have PSP 3shot (15.4bps) back too ala PA 2005/06 season :)

Clearly you never played 7 man then if you have to ask? Not being funny, just passing comment.

Massive fields, massive bunkers, even saying that there was a higher density of bunkers per field too. So much harder to keep track of your opponents as well.

Yes I have played 7 man (HB, Campaign, PA)

I just dont think its that big a deal really, and those fields arent really around the UK now Id guess most sites have invested in MS fields, so the thought to me would just be a watered down version on an MS field with "too many" people.

Fair enough but that makes the assumption people will use their millennium fields. bigger fields, with more bunkers and more players. would be my personal preference.

even five man games are over in 2 minutes or less most times, it feels like playing xball without the pits.

I think a number of influential people prefer bigger fields with more bunkers, which explains why BOP appear to be putting on an event along these lines.

Love to have a go

Id love to have a go at 7 man, it seems like there is more of a team, and more "to it" if you get me, 5 man is great and i love playing it, but i dunno with 7man it feels like more of a sport when i watch it :)

and to say there arent enough poeple isnt true, ive got like 8-9 players on the roster potentially, so got the players just havent got the 7 man :(
