I'd like to think in important or relevant threads i post my opinion in full, but with the 87.6% of threads on balled they call for sarky one liners.
Surely you could tell that.
Well, threads only 'call' for sarky one liners if you think they do, nobody forces you or calls for them, it's the person who posts them who makes the decision, and so on that basis, I'm sorry Mikey, I couldn't 'tell' that at all.
If the question above is asking me if i could pull together all the 3 leagues...unlikely to say the least.
My question was facetious Mikey, surely you could tell that ?
whats stopping syd from doing it? Wendy from doing it? Russ from doing? whats stopping all 3 of them doing? you (robbo) in doing it?
I am afraid naivety shines thru that question like a supernova, firstly, take me out of the equation; now, why on earth would any of them wish to do this?
They are in paintball to earn money and not to appease idealists, even if those idealists are offering a practical idea, leastwise for UK paintball it may be.
Because It's practical for UK paintball teams does not necessarily mean it's good for them as individuals, unless of course they are exclusively running the show and making money from it
all 4 mentioned above have far more knowledge than myself on league formats, organizations etc etc, forum battles are easy this on the other hand is outta my league with the commitments i already have. If i weren't committed, yes, i'd have a stab at it but only with the help from russ, wendy and syd. Without the help of those 3 it would be pointless.
If anybody can get Russ, Wendy and Syd to organise themselves into a single league, good luck to them because I still can't see any reason why they would give up 100% control of their own league to be a partial owner of another.
Sounds good on paper and in threads like these but as I implied before, it's a pipe-dream at the moment and will remain so for the short to mid term futures.
As I see it, there are only two ways in which there will be any significant initiative to have a single league, if the industry want one (as maybe a trickle down requirement from a unified US league) or the Millennium guys begin to get involved, and even then, it won't kill off all the leagues because leagues like the PA will still wanan run as mavericks.
Why?
Because they wanna make money, that's why !
As for anybody trying to tell me the players will create the initiative, well, we can't even organize ourselves into any sort of coherent player's committee or organize our national game whereby we can create competitive teams.....anything else?
