Find it odd that Bamber Bridge are calling games off, seeing as they had about 40 players in attendence for the ML final only 4 weeks ago.

We ( Bamber Bridge) had until last week gone 5 years without calling a game off due to player shortage, no small feat in a soccer dominated area, especially having over the last 12 months backed up winter to summer without a real break, unfortunately Holidays, Work Commitments,Weddings and Stag Dos conspired against us i'm sure you all have been there at some point, we weren't very happy to lose that record as its one we are very proud of.

This week we were ready to go only for Latchford having similar troubles raising a team due in the main i believe to their Wednesday night game against Bank Quay.

Oh and We had in total 22 players down at the final out of our 26 man squad we used all summer, i know cos i bought them the shirts, the rest were just our loyal bunch of supporters who have never picked up a ball in anger. :THINK:

Good luck to every club but this interim league looks to me like the amateur clubs committee have made the decision to go summer without really asking the people you count (the players) an other club to fail to play the first game of the inerim season is Stanley Rangers.

I'd jump back to BARLA before clubs start losing players because they are not getting fixtures.

What would be the point in jumping back to BARLA ??

Both the winter and summer interim seasons have kicked off at the same time. If these teams are struggling for players now would playing under a different banner change things ?? :? :?

Only time will tell if the switch is going to be successful and giving up two games into an interim season isn't really giving it a chance. If the trend of teams not fulfilling games continues into the proper season in 2012 then maybe clubs should then assess the situation and whether its beneficial to their club to switch back to winter rugby.

We're not happy at Adlington failing to come to Leigh East but last weeks game against Hindley was as tough as any we've had over recent seasons in the NWC divisions and if thats anything to go off we'll be happy to play summer rugby.

I understand why the RFL have put this interim season in place but the clubs should not have gone into it!

Cobras have made the switch to summer but didn't go in the interim season.....our players have now gone to Mayfield 1st, 2nds and 3rds, Littleborough, Whitworth and RU clubs for the winter but I know we will have em all back come March.

Clubs need to trust their players to come back. If players chose to stay at other clubs there either not worth your time or your own club is doing something wrong!

You have to have an understanding with all the winter clubs that there your players and your doing them a favor. you never know they may return the favor come mid summer when you have lads on holidays.

just a thought!
