Ok, a few points, the last thing I need is to get involved with the Millennium thankyou or any representative committee.
As far as I am concerned, you might as well talk to a toilet seat but hey, I know people like Chris Gosling and Co who have a lot more patience than I and are much better qualified in that department, and these are the type people we should look to represent the players.
Now as for the Triple 7 option being vaunted at the moment, let me fill in some gaps, the main protagonists for this are Niall and Laurent because these are the two guys who will be the greatest beneficiaries if the changes are made.
The reasons for this change are not for the betterment of the tournament, they don't even help with streamlining, they certainly detract from the player's ‘bang for your buck’ , so what on earth could be the reason they are considering it ?
Money !!!
If the proposed changes are made then they can stuff more teams into their bank account, pure and simple !
They obviously don't give two sh#ts about all those teams who have supported them over the years as is self-evident with them even considering these changes, all they care about is money otherwise why would they want to reduce the number of games and the game time. The frikkin teams ain't asked for it, so why do it ?
Well, a little maths comes in handy here, the original format had us all playing a minimum of ten games of ten minutes each totalling 100 mins of play (potentially).
Th proposed upper limit has now been reduced to 7 games of 7 minutes totalling 49 minutes.
So we get less than half the product for our money, now that's fine if they reduce the entrance fee by half to accommodate any extra teams but can you lot see that happening ?
Ha frikkin ha !!!
And Mattie, I read your post, if you don't want to let things slide, fine by me, we'll start it all up again, make your choice !!!
I got my fingers waiting over the keyboard now !!!
