[sarcasm]Well mediated Independant[/sarcasm]. I think everyone was already fully aware of why Wincanton have entered the league and things seem to be going to plan, they're doing very well and should get promoted. The absolute FACT of the matter is though, there are players who have taken exception with travelling to Somerset. I know this because I know some of them.
Wincanton are on here moaning that teams are too scared to turn up, and that this a Senior league so people should be expected to make 90 mile round trips for no money. This isn't a senior league no matter what it's called, and not all players are prepared to travel out of the county mainly on principle (I'm aware of the rules for qualification to the league). They are not nescessarily too scared to turn up.
As for not taking the small minded sh1t to heart. I think you misunderstand my motives for posting. I don't play in the DSL so don't give a toss if they're in it or not. I just tried explainig to the guy who thinks players are scared to go there that there is another explanation for not turning up, one slightly more likely than the reason suggested by the post. Knowing players in the league who have expessed displeasure at making the trip, my comments were not unfounded either, unlike the one about players being scared to turn up, or the one about mummy not letting them. It was the Wincanton boys who then started getting abusive (on an anonymous forum pointlessly enough) so I don't think they need nannying from you with your 'don't listen to the nasty man' posts.
