Great idea, I think some other League 1 clubs would benefit from having sides attached to them playing in the amateur leagues.

Thank you but please be aware it is also a professional division. We will place young professional players in the team.

Looking forward to being kept busy both Saturdays and Sundays this season...

Coventry Bears do the same. Hemel and Skolars have reserve sides but they are in lower divisions

Well an amateur team won it last year ......

Nobody is taking anything for granted, or would dream of taking anything away from Nottingham Outlaws.  From the games I saw last year, they were worthy champions.  All Lionel said was that the All Golds will be using the team to give competitive game experience in an open age setting to young professionals, as well as amateur players.  To an extent professionalism is an attitude and way of doing things, not just the paying of players, and in this the Outlaws with their superb website are a good example of a club with professional standards, albeit without paying players.

Agree with much of that, but Lionel's response was to someone who said it was good to be involved in the amateur leagues to which the response was that it was a professional division. Inference therefore is not that professionalism relates to the attitude as you state but the level of competition.

Coventry Bears do the same.
