Tier 4 is bigger than BARLA is the most ridiculous pseudo fact you have ever made.
Bear in mind, tier 4 includes BARLA teams as does tier 3. You persistently muddying the waters with your one-liners does not aid amateur RL one jot. You're a clown

Tier 4 in summer is bigger who the rep is for. In terms of number of clubs if not standards. Please don't be so abusive as I have shown you up on every occasion you've tried that. The pseudo fact was Marauder's

Pussy cat Peter ,I have sat with Martin in a couple of meetings and I think I know where his bread is buttered and you know what I mean by that ,you do not improve the game by watering down the traditional established regions to suit the fledglings its the other way round theyshould aspire to reach our standards .

[Marauder]

Martin Coyd , ex Royal Engineers reps Tier 4. With David Hinchcliffe and others he helped break down the Forces ban on RL. He drives the Medway Dragons in the South .Maybe that's why he got the 'Gig '........Head to head him if you want......he's a seriously tough nut

Independent Board members are just that - look at it as non ex directors in a company assuming wider views than those with entirely vested interests.......standard practice for most organisations.

Benedict? Give me a break..... Arnold never hit the front line..... and certainly never carried the flag I've not lost the colours so far and don't intend to... Times change Marauder but that doesn't mean the amateurs are being out manouvered or being ignored within the new processes.........

We all know that the amateur game in the winter needs a good overhauling & especially the playing structure, I'm hopeful that the powers that be take up the challenge thats been set, but you like I know it's not all the actual management committee at the top that holding it back at the moment, IMO the sooner people stop wanting to feed their own ego's and look at what is the best for the teams (pub sides) within the game the better.

with shared attitudes and a camaraderie that only those clubs inside the pail would ever understand....

You might be pleasently surprised if you attended one of our delegates meetings - "only in competition for 80 minutes per week" has been the motto for at least five seasons. The NCL is not the only group of teams who are in it for the good of the game and I dare say its the same in London and the North East too, which is a good position to be in!

[bowes]

Blackbrook and Woolston Rovers recommended for inclusion. Good news as I think they'd both be good additions

[LONGMAN]

With this been a new league with hopefully nine new additions, it will be interesting to see how they all do.
Should be very interesting to see how they all fair up to the three team that have come down.

[bowes]

Peterlee are somewhat of an unknown quantity depending on how well they recruit from other NE clubs but the other 8 new sides should be competitive IMO though Hindley have yet to be tested at a higher level

I never want to hear another mention of ID cards after the last one. Very thorough and productive meeting though

[Loose Carry]

Id expect blackbrook and woolston to be challenging for the div 3 title......believe provisional fixtures are out on monday can anyone confirm?

[bowes]

They're out for premier, 1 and 2 but not 3 I believe

[deluded pom?]

They're out for premier, 1 and 2 but not 3 I believe

They aren't showing on the NCL website yet.

[bowes]

They aren't showing on the NCL website yet.

Sorry meant on Monday.

[del capo]

Sorry meant on Monday.

Some say it's a pretty big day in the Community calendar on monday at the NCL AGM , and especially for the clubs' meeting afterwards.

NCL are seeking to move to 50 clubs for the first time.

The fixtures will be handed out to Premiers and 1 and 2 on the night.. They will be out for Div 3 within the week , whatever the vote on Blackbrook and Woolston.

To the new clubs welcome ..... but if you don't get there, whatever the distance , expect a sanction !!

[maxwel]

I asked the NCL when can we divulge/ discuss our proposed fixtures and was told to hang on because not all clubs had accepted them and replied to the NCL.

[deluded pom?]

Are the NCL aware the season starts soon?

[LONGMAN]

Seen as all the clubs have been given their fixtures for approval; i would imagine the NCL know when the season starts.

Are you including the summer teams who don't make the start line or only play a couple of games and the cumbrias who's rep will surely be the BARLA rep

[deluded pom?]

I wish they'd let the rest of us know then.
