Replying To Fighting-Cocks69:  "Delighted to hear on the podcasts this week that they all seem to be against the football format. Even Alan was saying the gap between the two grades is massive, and it's nobody's fault but their own for not being in the A group. He even mentioned that if you're going to finish 4th, you might nearly be better off finishing 5th or 6th in the A group, as you'd have a better chance of making a quarter-final the following year."

Replying To martyW:  "yeah it makes no sense, I hadnt realised the 2 teams in section B will play each other again in the QF as well. They're right though about it being the beginning of the end for current format, will be reduced group sizes soon you'd imagine"
