Druids, maybe - we knew we were heading for lean times, but had hoped to stay top 4.

Most of them live within "geo" team range of >Leicester, would you stick by your policies and not take on these kind of >players. I think this is Ben's point? Red COULD steal players from the League, but WON'T - they'll train and encourage them at the League... maybe the odd one or two will play with Red occaisionally (foreign events? Brugges?) and maybe a "Leicester League" team will apear at the odd event - but the long-term objective is to get SEVERAL Leicester teams into World Clubs...?
