I agree. Good thinking.

Certainly valid and a debate for the future but most certainly the more everyone is made aware of the definite fall from grace of the leagues the better... merely my own take on all this but a step at a time is most prudent and Russ is dealing with what's perceived to be needed now...putting bums on seats !!
Originally posted by padgerI do actually totally agree, I've heard the 'tired of getting thrashed' many times and it does actively 'preclude' vast swathes of folk from entering, there are also a number of 'other reasons' why the leagues have declined in recent years..BUT, you cannot run before you can walk, and if this initial site intervention works then suggestions such as your own can be put forward 'with gusto' and the site HAS to consider them.
Why the future ?
You will not get people to play when they know that they are going to get slaughtered
it works both ways
The lesser player knows they haven't got long before they are forced to give in
The better player is not tested
Boring for both
To increase interest in the leagues there must be some incentive
