HOW IT STANDS
2023 Super Series Championship Leaderboard – THE FINAL RECKONING
Dom, that’s the point I was making. The amount of fixture unfulfillment is lower in the National Leagues than it is in the regional and reserve leagues where the travel requirements are less. We’re in agreement.
As for what you’re saying Iain, my point is that it is all very well trying to localise the game as much as possible but that’s much easier in an area like Edinburgh where there are a higher concentration of clubs. For most of the country a significant degree of travel is necessary to play competitive fixtures. Of course, less travel is desirable just not often realistic.
Ah yes. The use of un doesn’t help with comprehension
Scot abroad, this phenomenon has nothing to do with post codes! I spent years delving into team travel and the effect it had on, not 1st xv rugby but 2nd xv rugby and the cancellation of matches. Why do you think the Border clubs, correctly made their 2nd xv league regional. I would be interested to see your facts you base your statement on!
40+ players used by four teams for 12 matches. Even more eye popping for Hawks with 42 in 11 matches.
Hawick already one more player used in all of 22/23 league campaign.
This has been the case for years and is the same if not worse when you go down the leagues. There are many reasons but travel is a major issue as players are unavailable to be away the whole day. This of course affects the ability to field 2nd and 3rd xv’s. Time to only have 2 subs at club level and 3 National leagues.
All very well when your club has an EH postcode. Unfortunately your argument fails to recognise the reality of Scotland’s population distribution. In any case, the rate of fixture unfulfillment is lowest at National League level and greatest in the regional leagues and regional reserve leagues. Go figure!
I don’t know what data you are looking at Scots Abroad but that’s factually incorrect.
The lower the league level the more likely it will be called off.
Intercity reserve league – two Glasgow clubs called off Sat 11 Oct
East res 2 – first call off due to no team 16 Sept!
Have a look at the East and West reserve development leagues for examples of calling off.
