Well hasn't seb agreed to go with the majority here?
Majority want to play each other 3 times with no byes, i've proved it can be done...jem is happy it can be done too, it was the league runner's suggestion in the first place so let's do it!

I haven't agreed to go with the majority. I agreed to go with what runners decide!

Their original schedule had byes by the way.

The schedule was for teams playing each other 3 times anyway james It's a 12 week season playing each other 3 times, 8 week for twice with not a bye in sight

IN REPLY TO JEMS POST

say you get to fixture set 4 and a team has to fold for some reason or another do you really wana be editing all those games on the league table all day long i dont think you would tbh.

What was wrong with the past FCL seasons having to play a team twice? thats right nothing so why change it now cos a few people started moaning about byes?

Personally i think Jay and Jem rushed into the new season too quickly, if you would have taken your time with the new season you could have drawn up a schedule with teams playing each other twice easily

Only because they thought they couldn't do it without them at the time...we sorted that agreed to no byes and they suggested upping the times team played to 3 and most people agreed.

Time was taking and then two clans decided to fold and then Underdogs could not be allowed into the league, that is why the schedule went all haywire.

ah so the schedule was 8 weeks with playing each other twice? if thats the case ill go with what the runners decide as well. (doesn't mean ill always agree with it but it means i won't be debating)

i disagree, we didnt rush into the season but we have had some unfortunate clan foldings which has lessened the clan numbers and made the season very short.

i had to edit all the tables when wolf pack, unbeatables and top dogs folded with no complaints so im happy to redo any tables that needs doing if a clan does fold. besides i have a lot of time on my hands to do that.

nothing wrong with previous seasons but thought it might be nice to make the season a bit longer since we are low on clan numbers and coincide our season ending with FBL like a lot of people have asked us for.

i keep getting this impression people think we do not have a working schedule... check the website people, the schedule is perfect and currently shows each clan playing their opponents twice... there is nothing wrong with the current schedule.

if your doing this for a season because there is less teams are you going to change it all again next season if more clans get passed the pre season friendlies for next season?

Also 10 or maybe 20pages back wasnt there talk of you capping the entry at 10 clans and now you are moaning about there not been too many clans in this season so you are thinking of upping the games?

My opinion is that it should stay at playing each other twice as its been that way for aslong as ive played in clans and ive been on this site 10+ years now, personally ill probs think about not playing in this season if ya going to up the times you play a clan as its going to get boring seeing some of the same faces every other week or so

didn't need to, i trust the runners completely (which is why i chose you in the first place), basically each fixture set lee did i times by 2 (so = 2 weeks for 1 fixture set), at first i thought it was 3 months for playing each other twice so in which case you could see why i went bananas if a league ran for 4.5 months but when it was 2 months instead i thought differently to the whole scenario and agree to whatever is decided (BYES or Play each other 3 times (long as its only used when the numbers is low and not every season)).

Thats how i came to my decision of play each clan x3 because of the low clan numbers this season. And it would be changed accordingly if numbers increased for future sesons.

kind of wish people wouldnt threaten leaving the league because something MIGHT change. the change is probably only going to be this season - get in line with FBL and work out a schedule with Sarah hopefully so that the clans run side by side - nothing been decided, this is all ifs and buts.

i never wanted nor will want a cap on clans. league should be allowed to expand if people want to join, no point in limiting numbers.

Thank you for giving it some thought James, appreciate that.

Me and Jay will continue our discussions tomorrow probably and we will have a result for you soon Lots to take into concideration here and would be nice if when we do announce our decision people just respecting it. In all honesty we could do without additional stress right now

Don't change what as worked for so long then you wouldn't be getting these arguments or people threatening to leave, should have left it how it was byes or no byes with playing a clan twice a season then you wouldn't have all this extra stress along with been pregnant Jem

Hint- don't announce it- just update the site! No one will care then

Keeping it how it has been isn't an argument in itself dan, plenty of good arguments for changing it though.

seb, i wouldnt dream of being so sneaky

stress + pregnancy goes hand in hand... im more concerned about my dearest other half we are not making a massive change anyway, its an additional 2 fixtures (or 4 weeks) just to take us up to FBL season end.

i dont think its a massive ask for people to just accept it and get on with it ? or am i missing something really obvious that makes this to be 10 times a bigger issue than im seeing it ?

why change something that as worked for aslong as either of us have been playing in clans tho lee, it worked in the past so why cant it work now?

so what it will only last 2months make a week or 2 just for cup games to prolong the season?

It's a matter of life and death actually. How do you not see that??

the clan league as always been play each other twice, and there has been seasons with only 10 clans in it before no one complained about it before but there is people complaining about it now, if something worked in the past why cant it work now jem?

If somebody could help mikee bring the flapping seagulls over for next season would be of a great help i feel. Think Lee should do it your good at Persuading people. Good Luck
