Marauder Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 May be the players are voting with their feet and saying they want to play in the winter Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits. http://www.pitchero....hornemarauders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone must have asked the players/volunteers if they wanted a crack at the league . Feed back must have been a yes (maybe not ) , unless communication between people within the club wasn't up to much . Still a poor show if they cant get out of Hull twice a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJL Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 It will be the same as the last few years, Once the NCL teams start training in Jan/Feb teams will struggle again. The Hull league needs to get in line with the rest of the leagues. They need to play the same time as the NCL teams. I'm sure the NCL teams would enter there A teams in the Hull league if it ran the same time as the first teams season, This would then strengthen the league.

Why should they fall into a place where 90% of the teams are struggling to field a team and most of the NCL teams can no longer field a 2nd team and the 18's have long gone. It's a good job the Union lads go for a jolly in the summer otherwise it would be very poor reading.

I'm not saying they should fall in line as such (I prefer the winter season) I just feel the amateur game should all be played in the same season either winter or summer. only then will we get some stability, as at the moment you get a few kids from NCL teams and also some semi pro teams who come and play winter but are never able to play all season due to other commitments, the team then struggles for players and are unable to fulfil the fixtures. If we all played at the same time teams would know the number of players they have for the forth coming season, granted a few teams may fold (there players would hopefully strengthen other teams) but at least we may have some stability and complete a season without losing several teams dropping out then reforming the following season. The long and the short is Hull can no longer support the number of amateur teams it once had either in the Hull and district or at conference level. maybe the answer is to merge certain clubs and strengthen the league that way.

Switch to Summer and you will have that many players you won't know what to do with them (David Gent) And now the talk is merger as a solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we now have to deal with the hand we are dealt. The Hull area no longer has enough players to support the number of teams we used to have. So if not merging some clubs together (only the clubs who are struggling for players) then what do we do? I can't remember the last time the Hull league completed a season without clubs dropping out and not been able to fulfil the fixture list. I would rather have a league of say 8 or 10 teams that all have the ability to play a full season then two leagues of 8 and half the teams drop out.
