I think they tried one at lawn farm a couple of years ago and it got cancelled, i could be wrong though, memory not what it was.

Easy there lads the first thing you need is the other sites to buy into it, and as of yet it has not been spoken about as much as its easy to say great lets have a match experience says it is not that easy and would you believe that to get a team of ten anglers often needs a great deal of effort, especially in those areas that we are not strong in, this years intersite matches needed urgent PMs and Emails sending out to cover both the north and south, even the Midlands had some very late replacements, so lets first off talk to the other sites to see if they want to come to the party, the subject will be broached on Sunday at the Intersite Individual match, where no doubt the Intersite 2009 will be raised.

looking at whos going to the individual ya may aswell only ask TF, apart for a few from maggotkillers theres no one else going, best idea would be to get a match group set up on here first then start branching out.

The match group idea by Chief sounds the way to go.
So long as they are members of T A we could do a lot

Fair enough brian i know what you mean every one as good intentions to start with and then start dropping out, i had to fish the northen intersite a 5 hour round trip to make up the numbers, mind you that was the easist one to get to out of all of them.

High Flier Ely just North of Cambridge, serious bagging water absolutley full of fish, park at pegs 4 teams of 6 no problem

if its summertime most will break the ton and the winner nearer 300lb

Im all for additional matches it fills gaps, the matchteam idea is great not that I like team fishing but the matches would be spread out enough to be more than sufferable

To fill 10 slots on a regular basis will be a tough challenge we have enough trouble now only having 3 or 4 intersites

But if dropped to a lower head count Im sure you would find enough takers
