Ben,
Why are teams playing at the UK's premier tournament, the National
Championships being asked to pay a higher entry fee than those in the 'not
the nationals tournament'? Especially when it appears they will be offered
the same facilities as those partaking in main tournament?
* Division C Tournament finishing in time for the 2pm Sunday final.
* Full size pitches + cones + water + scoreboards + marquee.
* Physios from the Academy of Sports Therapy
* Party at Leicester's 'The Shed' nightclub - free entry before 10pm.
Live music from The Aynsley Lister Band (blues/rock) plus support from
Vigorous (rock covers) plus sixties disco.
OK so they finish by 2pm on Sunday, does this qualify for 50% discount?
It appears that the top 16 teams are being asked to subsidise the other
tournament. Surely the point of Nationals is to make it a show event of the
top teams? You may well argue that the 'not the nationals' will provide a
larger crowd for the final etc and I would support that, but please not at a
greater expense to those teams qualifying for nationals.
Or perhaps the extra you earn will be profit for Red???? Surely something
you would condone given your well publicised view of Druids policy over the
previous years with the tournaments they've organised!
Colin.
UTI.
P.S. Should you care to make a charitable donation to UTI due to lost funds
over Red's non appearance at the 'World's warm up tournament' please let me
know and I'll offset any such amount against our entry for Nationals.
