Quote Worzel="Worzel"Sounds like the game could do without the likes of 'Damo-Leeds' so it can move forward and prosper. Too may eeeeayeup types and introverted lot in RL that keeps the game confined to ex-mining towns and large social housing suburbs/slums.'"
It's the support of these people who you so denigate that has sustained and nourished this game since it's inception both here and in Australia.
The fact that the demographics of the game's supporters are changing somewhat to a more affluent social strata is proabably due to the sons, daughters and grandchildren of these original supporters who have become upwardly mobile due to their own efforts and the support of their parents and are taking their sporting preferences with them as they rise.
As a descendant of the denizens of a former mining town which was destroyed by the Grantham grocer who has ammassed a certain wealth, I would rather live there than Tunbridge Wells. The qualities of decency and moral fairness are so much better.
