Having read the above posts, I wonder whether enough common ground can be found in order to sustain a new organisation.
There is Alan. It’s just finding it.
As in all things there is a middle ground just slightly off centre which ought to be acceptable to most. That is not so with the SOP - as their recent actions clearly demonstrate.
The million dollar question is not “whether or not it exists” rather “whether or not the pursuit of it is worth the effort”
Don’t forget the fact that for years a good number of the best ploughmen in the country were serially abused by the SOP, their system of qualifiers and their administration of the national match. Most of us said nothing at the time, ever conscious of retribution or not wanting to seem bad losers.
Whilst retribution obviously is in the ascendancy, social media has at least enabled people to comment.
