I was onside Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Just seen the invite, £26 a ticket each club must buy a minimum of 2, being held in Devon (again), is this necessary whilst the country is in deep recession? Oh and only a 160 mile round trip from Penzance....enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG AL Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Another Devon favoured decision by the officials of the swpl - it never ceases to amaze me ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricky ricky Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 where would you suggest ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Where exactly in Devon is it being held this year? If its close to the border then I dont see a problem, but if not, then I think the League officials are just encouraging more flack regarding the "favourtism" accusations.

Nemesis Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Same location, Plymouth and same price as last year £26.00. There is never going to be 50+ clubs happy with the location unless it is in their town, so a midway solution has been found.There is also the problem of finding a hotel big enough to accommodate everyone for dinner, and potentially staying overnight for just one night only at a weekend. Most hotels in the May-Sept period require a two night stay at weekends, we are a tourist based area of the country. Many hotels re also booked way in advance for conferences (as is Plymouth for this particular weekend), weddings etc. I was asked to do something similar in Newquay a few years back with a years notice, even in the Counties biggest resort, there was nowhere either big enough or available on the dates that we suggested.

RobbieS Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 It was always held at The White Hart in Launceston during the SWL days, and nobody ever moaned about that. Plymouth is no further away from PZ than Launceston, maybe not such a good road, but so what. Surely we're not throwing the toys out over a border issue? I drive hundreds of miles every week, so trust me a little jaunt of going from one end of little ol Pastyland to the other is nothing really. I drove back from Leominster for last nights game at Bodmin, now that's a bit of a drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Smiling Assassin Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 After reading all of the (very sensible and impartial) replies, are you still amazed Big Al? Even Tricky Ricky asked a reasonable question, to which you've yet to reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
