Steve. I asked you the question because I couldn't see your name down on the Midland or Western matches! Have I missed something!?

Whilst picking a team from a club is a great way to get the anglers with the best ability for a venue, knowing that persons strengths and weakness.
Asking some poor sole on this web site to pick a team will only lead to people getting upset, accusations of picking mates and only people that the Captain has either met or fished with before when some great anglers may miss out, cannot understand how you can pick a team from people you dont even know what they look like, whilst picking those closest to the venue may seem right remember some people enjoy this site for its great way people from all over the country chat and they look forward to meeting up with mates maybe once or twice a year travelling is not an issue to some people, Polepot has been to Gold Valley from the other side of Manchester, Scatty also travels regularly down to the Midlands from Liverpool, older members may remember Dave (sponsored by Shell) came all the way down from the Lake District, so remember this site surely is to promote anglers to get together from all over the country, have a laugh catch a few fish, and make lasting friendships.
Whilst picking the team is a problem it surely is going to be hard to please some of the people some of the time, good luck whoever picks the team!

Kingfisher, i am working on the 7 july for the mids and 25 aug for the western. I am off work for the northen and have put my name down for that if required and i havn't seen a date for the eastern match, but work allowing would like to fish if spaces allow.

The Northen and Southern legs are possibly going to be changed as they both clash with other long time arranged matches, The Eastern is being arranged by Pebsit of TF no date arranged as yet

Larry Teepot I am sure someone will be a man short come the day so if anyone is there for the day it pays to take their gear TA has in the past used members of other forums rarther than use ringers, in fact we dropped out several last year for that reason.

Well a month has elapsed. What's the decision?

It looks like as there is just 10 for the Midlands that takes care of itself, anyone new additions will be added as reserves,
The Western will be drawn out of the hat, I will set something up via the shoutbox using a couple of neutral Moderators to do the draw, again anyone new will be added as reserves

There were 11 down for Stockton. Did Matt6900 drop out then?

Brian G · 2nd March 2007, 08:31 AM

Yes Royst Matt6900 has dropped out of the Midlands match.
