I was checking out the mileage to those very hotels earlier tonight The lack of a division four though is a slight deterrent and my broad definition of Midlands make it a bit too far for some of my southenersMick Norris wrote:I'm sure you would like Wychwood and Wakefield, give it a go, you know it makes senseNeil Graham wrote: Sad news if we're moving away from Telford - we like it there.
I suspect that you are right but under the current format your team is on 2/2 in a seven round event (the promotion pool) so there's plenty of chess left to be played.Joey Stewart wrote:Just wanted to give a big preemptive congratulatory pat on the back to West is Best 1 for their promotion, as there is NO WAY it is not going to happen!
Commiserations to those who missed out but, hey, you tried your best ... only ours was better!
Please don't say things like this. The date is Saturday 19th March - I had to go and check the fixture list as I'd arranged my team for that date!benedgell wrote:I'm just glad to be able to see Cooper- Rudd first hand tomorrow.

My team is in the interesting situation that as well as 2 points being at stake against West is Best the result of The Rookies-Anglian Avengers makes a difference to our carry forward so we could find ourselves on 0,1,2,3 or 4 heading into the Sunday gameMatthew Parry wrote:Naturally we will be treating this as the first match of the season, which in essence it is- well the second anyway- and forgetting all that has gone before. Please do not be dissuaded from having a rest this weekend, Loz; I understand Telford has lots of lovely distractions that I am sure you would rather do than play such a silly game!
Everything still to play for; should be an interesting second half to the season.
Why is it luck of the draw, it is their own fault that they didn't win against AA2 and Shropshire, if they lose against yourselves and Shropshire & AA2 both win, then they are the 4 best team on results in the poolJoey Stewart wrote:You are much more of an optimist then me, Lawrence, I would be absolutely fuming to think that the second best team in the pool should have to rely on the luck of the draw to take any points forward at all.
