Not that I can add much to what Ant, Duff and Pete have said but here's my two penneth.

Quite a few years ago PGI intentionally drifted away from comprehensive coverage of Brit ball. Why? Because the US of A is where the sales are and besides that most serious baller in euro land wanted to know what was going on over there.

I was quite critical of this at the time but when you look at what is involved, how much space there is in a mag and where the real interest is then sense prevails and you must see that the focus must be stateside.

How does this tie in with this thread? Well as has been said previously - if you play over there and the yanks know you then they want to hear about you and see pictures of you. There arent many baller in the states that dont know about Nexus, Ton Ton, Joy or RL. They play over there - they generate the interest, they get the coverage.

And where do the pictures come from? Not D7's or Skirmish Notts - but Huntington Beach, New Jersey, Miami, Orlando, Las Vegas, Chicago etc. The Millenniums attract attention too of course but then who wins those? Yanks!! There's a pattern here!!

Anyway - I like the guys on the Tigers, we enjoy a good friendship and have for years. We argue on occassion, flame a bit etc but behind it we are friends. And PGI doesnt have an agenda otherwise they'd just be putting pictures of the PGI Sharks in all the time (and THAT Ollie is the real nightmare - Ant, Duff, Joe and Pipes in EVERY edition giving it LARGE!!)

See y'all

The Grey Fox does have a very good point! Seeing Duff in any magazine is a horrible thought :D

You've made youself look like an ****!!! It's not because youre posts arn't in Pete's favour, It is because you're implying that Tigers dont get many pictures in PGI because of Pete :rolleyes: You turned it into us Vs them dumbass.

I know you've got selected reading so ill post it again..

Why are you trying to insult us instead of just asking a simple question?
If you had written something like... "Why dont Tigers get many pictures or coverage in PGI?", then none of this would have started. The dig in you first post did it. Dont you see that :confused:

Things between the Tigers and us are cool and I hope that they stay that way. We wouldnt have cheered them on and congratulated them in the Dam if we didnt like them! On the field things get heated (just like it can do in any game) but after the game is over we all get along, as Pete and a few others have already mentioned.

Think before you type foo'! Cos thats the sort of **** that could put the internal support of Brit ball back to square one.

Nuff said.
