I dont think gaff was saying that mate, he did say he agreed when at your level, storm 2 arent there YET!!, so they will probably have a tough time, I am sure they will go with the correct and professional attiude and try their best though.

Good luck everyone.

Thanks for that, wasnt sure what he meant, wasnt taking a pop at him though.

I sincerely believe that in order for Uk and indeed Euro balling to improve, there has to be greater cooperation between the top teams. I think that the best thing possible is more training against each other, and a syncronised assualt on the US (in balling terms obviously!! ). Maybe half a dozen of the top teams could make the jump stateside for the WC in miami and furtherr improve the state of Uk playing. Just an idea, and i know an expensive and time consuming on, but nothing is free

I agree with sam on the fact that if you play teams at a lower level than you, then you will not improve, but playing teams in a higher league than you make you, and your teams game improve in soooo many areas

e.g.(if 5 of your team get shot of the break then you have got to learn how to cross up the feild and play a tighter game to survive)

so in my opinion

JUST GO AND PLAY THE DAMN GAME!!!!!!!!!

Have just re read Gaff's post and i totally misread it.

the problem with Storm 1, 2 and 3 is that it doesnt allow a true impression of the teams quality, maybe a Pro, am and Nov status could be adopted? I do agree with what you said, and getting totally mowed does neither team any good, and detremantally affects both sides. I hope that the situation can be resolved, and you all play in a division that you feel comfortable in.

Gental me n Liz and I are doing our best if you would all like to play the same teams month in month out then the divitions would be easy. The M25 was never planned like that I don't think that allows for heathy deveoplemnet of your game. The whole Idea was some team would be committed to the serise thank you all for your support, some would be guests paaaing though and adding some interest and variety and other would be using it as a warm up.

We are taking each event divitions on it's own merrits and placing the teams accaording to the information we have. Ie Liz watched Black star Play resently and yes they did play in the states last year but she was jugding them on their last performance.

When I last spoke to strom at an length I was told they had 2 pro teams and 1 am so we placed the teams accaroding to that information. I did call john sosta and spoke to him at some length today regarding this.

Teams if you are not feilding your usual squad it is up to you to convince us why you should be placed other wise at the tme of booking when we are making these dissitions bearing in mind it depends on the teams that have entered that leg.

I hope this helps to explain. See you all sunday

i am aware of the day that liz watched them play and i agree that they didn't play well but did it ever cross your mind that it was on woodland and that according to romour the last time they played at your site sparklie they came in near the top
so teams out there all you need do to get an easy division is to have a bad day now and then

 

[Ms Bossy]

Aint it funny that there is a lot of slagging off and back biteing between southern teams, cos you dont get any of this negative bitching up tut north................why

 

[Duncster]

Jeezus!!! Liz, Sparklie, I'm actually looking forward to our division on Sunday. We're gonna have to work hard, but if we were playing in Div 4 we prob wouldn't learn as much (I'm in STORM 3, by the way).

People... you sound like you're not enjoying yourselves already!! Get a grip!!

Dunc.

Hey look the Sinners have been dropped a division, is this because somebody got wind that I was playing and thats a hinderance on any team. Oh well before anybody acuses the Sinners of sand bagging we are taking 3 B squad players with us to make the numbers up [Damn A squad pre madonnas who feel they don't have to play all the games]. I don't care what division I play in as long as i know that i've gone out and given my best. If we go away with a 'place' well thats the way that the team have played. If i get a welt fest well thats all part of the game, if i wanted a hobby that didn't hurt i would have taken up cross stitch.

So stop you bickering and just accept the division your in.
