With the internationals I've dealt with that wasn't the case. It's a mathematical equation based on their risk formula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 It would be interesting to know who the six are, other than Spain and Germany who they mentioned. I can see why England and France would get more votes but not Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will copy/paste what I wrote over in the other thread about an hour ago regarding this article: Did this Aaron Bower bloke skip the "fact-checking" class when he went to journalism school? At present, a number of nations – including England, Scotland and France – have four votes for every proposal tabled, while other affiliate nations receive just one. Scotland are NOT full members: https://www.rlef.eu.com/teams/affiliate Disappointing as this is not the first time the same journalist has put out misinformation and coincidentally, last time it was also to push the same agenda.

langpark Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 If only they put the same amount of effort into developing the game in their own backyards. Both Italy and Spain, are closing in on 3 years without a match involving two local teams (13-a-side). How Italy is a full member (criterias states you need minimum 8 men's teams and 4 youth teams) is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen the AGM agenda or anything like that but- half of these affiliated guys are not doing much in terms of a viable national competition , single team people , yet want to control the development of the Euro Game ? Spent too much of my life in RL Sports Politics not to spot a run at the gate.... Spain are financed by as yet unnamed sources. Probably Italy and maybe Turkey as well Would be incredibly happy if they came upfront to support TGG They seemingly will not. But would seriously advise RLEF to check these movements and change their own constitution ( RLEF have the votes ) to include club level activities rather than just national ones within their rules Then we have a proper flow........... But do these guys want that ? Just asking ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalMrC Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I've said all along that there is nothing to stop EuroXIII working within agreed structures and by not doing so it's potentially going to damage the sport. They now appear to be making moves to lead a breakaway from the RLEF. I don't see what benefit they get from attacking the RLEF. Seems to be about control, and it all continues to look really dodgy.

Yeah, it's a bit light on detail so hopefully more will come out over the next few days. It really needs sorting out, division is the last thing the game needs in Europe.
