Yep. It's to address your complaint that people don't get games. So the people who don't play end up playing grade (hopefully).
Really?, wow, thats really really good, then, wow, i would like to thank the person that came up with this idea.

How about Gofftown Tigers, i think Blewy wont mind that ;)

Also how about Twybridge Titans

Are we going to give the D1 sides associate teams, something like this:
- Red (Greater Robbham, Stedingham)
- Green (Garven Is, Gofftown)
- Black (Pickford, Davistow)
- Blue (Twybridge, Campsfield)
- Colts (Nixsonstown, Edfield)

I don't think so, it'll be more of a you play for the city you want to, I don't think we'll use them as feeder clubs.

How will it be decided who plays, the guys that get no games either FC or OD, the guys that only play one form or do the captains select some players they want to see play more games?

Now that's an interesting question. One that would easily be solved by having feeder clubs, which would make things easier. However I still would prefer not to resort to such a thing.

Tricky tricky, let me think..

I just had a idea come to me, probably stupid, but well i will put it forward anyway. :ph34r:

Maybe we could re-locate the current franchies to the three towns that have FC Stadiums (Nixonstown, Campsfield and Edfield) and the two other sides to the towns building stadiums (Goffmouth and Pickford). To keep the colours in the name they could be named something like Pickford Blacks, if you want.

The other towns mentioned for the Grade Comp could be used as Divison 2 sides, that act as feeder clubs. I think feeder clubs are the best option as it allows captains the oppertunity to trial two guys as an opening batting combination or new ball combination.

This also means that the Divison Two comp can run on par with the main comp, interms of the fixture. Also it might reduce the potential workload for David, as you would only have to sim two games a day not five or something.

Just a idea, probably stupid but whatever.

I think a good idea would be to have a big season opening day where all the players go back to play for their grade sides, like they had in aus this year.
 

Tom Halsey

Yeah I want a grade side which I can play for on the days of byes (if we keep 5 teams next year), and I reckon there should be a big grade final just before the Dev finals, which all the players play for. If this comes to fruition, I wanna play for Pickford Prats.

Well no doubt Natham Thunder would be up there with the best. I hear they`ve got terrific opening bowlers...

Of course, and as a resident of Natham it would have been great to see them up there, but it's not to be
