Saints voted against and we abstained. From the report I read on the Guardian Website the whole current play-off system, including clubcall, was put to clubs as a take it or leave it package.

We voted against it, you abstained.

Woeful.






Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

There is only Saints with any bottle. Warrington hid behind their chairs.

I'm sure they do and my guess is that the answer is they voted no. However, considering we were the last Club Call team and we got knocked out by the team we picked it would have looked like sour grapes if we voted no.






Me: I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.


knockersbumpMKII: Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm

We're all grown adults Ian !! Surely we're big enough to have an opinion and the gonads to express them. Tony Smith certainly did before and after this years club call. Abstaining in any vote is a cop out.

But the vote wasn't just about club-call it was on having an eight-team play-off series. Perhaps the club was in favour of having eight team play-offs but against club-call so rather than vote against the bigger issue they registered their opposition to the club-call element by abstaining.

PY not so often you and I agree but this time I think you're correct. However it should have been two different votes, 8 club play off and club call.






SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
