Robert Elstone interview

[RobertAM]

It was refreshing to read Robert Elstone's comments as quoted in the Mirror. He seems to be looking at the WP project more pragmatically now that he's made a trip over with HKR and ascertained the level and quality of the fan base here. I just hope he can convince the SL chairmen that we are a positive development that should be encouraged if indeed they want to grow the sport outside of the UK especially as I hear Red Star Belgrade have expressed an interest in starting in L1.  His comments about the long trip that HKR made ie leaving home Wednesday evening and only getting home Monday evening (via Glasgow!) made me think though -shouldn't HKR as fulltimers have given themselves more acclimatization time? Perhaps SL teams should be starting the trip on a Wednesday and if and when we make SL and they are paying their own tab they will have a full range of TA flights to choose from??
