OK, so BOOMZ, HP & I are all torn between moving to Scotland or Sri Lanka next year. We have weighed up the options and this seems the only way to decide. Obviously it is all more fun when you are with people you know, so, if BOOMZ, HP & I all move to Scotland next season would you follow us? If not, would you follow us to Sri Lanka?
I didn't know what to vote for :-[.

umm and who are the three independents? :P
Majority vote or unanimous?
So, seeing as 3 voted they would follow that would mean 6 in Scotland would it not?
Which means, if all those people were to go I would go :)

i actually haven't voted yet i'm so confused over what to do :(
im going to scotland..
Daz, if you aren't coming to Scotland simply vote one of the bottom 2 options :P
HHEEELLL YEEAAHHH!!! ;)
Curry or bravery ?
They say FORTUNE favours the brave ;) - choose Scotland if you must.
Scotland looking good so far... Would be nice to end up in div 1 lol
Vote HELL NO Daz I don't want to be the only one. :P
So, with 4 saying they would/are coming to Scotland then that would make 7 and I think that is a good number yes?
Plz don't go I'll have no one to eat curry with :(
Don't make me sad :(
Got to go to cricket :P
I'm undecided :-\ It's probably either Scotland or staying in Australia but I'm not sure yet
That said I voted "Why the hell would I follow those below me?" because I'm a smartar$e :P

End of season - Scotland and Ireland leagues
by FTP-ashario » Fri Oct 22, 2010 5:46 pm
At the end of this season, Scotland and Ireland will be allocated their own leagues and will thus become fully fledged 'major' countries in the game. Match start times for league matches will be as follows
Scotland 09:00
Ireland 11:30
Each country will be populated with 4 divisions, resulting in 120 teams each.
Prior to the end of this season (probably in 2 or 3 weeks), existing managers will be able to register their intention to move to one of the new countries via the 'Transfer Club' link on the club page. A news item will be created when the game is ready to accept 'transfer requests' to Scotland or Ireland.
During the end of season updates:
- a 'bot flush' will occur in all countries. All computer controlled teams will be demoted to the bottom divisions, and all active teams will be promoted in their place. All teams in a country will be ranked based on division, final league placing, points and NRR and then they'll be placed, by rank, in their new leagues (eg the top 8 teams will be placed in division 1, the next 16 in division 2, the next 64 in division 3 etc). For example, if you finish 3rd in a div 4 league, there is a good chance you will end up in division 3 after the end of season updates.
- teams wishing to move to Scotland or Ireland will be sorted randomly and then placed in leagues starting with division 1. When division 1 places are full, teams will be placed in division 2. When division 2 places are full...you guessed it...teams will be allocated to division 3 and so on.
- for the first season, all divisions in Ireland and Scotland will have the ticket prices, sponsorship income, member soft caps and end of season prizemoney of a division 4 league.
- for the second season, divisions 1-3 in Ireland and Scotland will have the ticket prices, sponsorship income, member soft caps and end of season prizemoney of a division 3 league.
- for the third season, divisions 1-2 in Ireland and Scotland will have the ticket prices, sponsorship income, member soft caps and end of season prizemoney of a division 2 league.
- for the fourth season, division 1 in Ireland and Scotland will have the ticket prices, sponsorship income, member soft caps and end of season prizemoney of a division 1 league.

well.....about that ::)
shush rb ur not supposed to talk about that ::)
I dunno, I would like to be in Div 4 :-\
I am still undecided. 7 in Scotland is a fair few hen there is BP tossing it up...
ARGH maybe I should move to a completely different country :P
Nah, I can't decide :-\
I will have to flip a coin.
I have made my decision. I am moving to Scotland. The money is good, there is a chance I will be in a Div even higher than 4, although Div 4 is more likely.
I have thought it through, I'm going to Scotland. I was close to Sri Lanka though :-\
hm... I'm still unecided... I think I'll go to Scotland but continue supporting Sri Lanka ;D
Fair enough BOOMZ. In the end it was the power of the coin that helped me decide :P Oh, and the power of the dollar ;D ;D ;D
Perhaps its better for you both to worry about strengthening your teams up more so than where you are going to move too. :P
For a week, its all been spam and talking about moving. It's stupid IMO.
My team is terrible and I can accept that :P
I have 68k in the bank to change that, 68k will get me a disabled 60 y.o in todays market.
Waiting until EOS at least to worry about that, I know what I need though ;)
2 batsman, 1 for backup 1 for 6.
1 keeper, backup.
1 fast, to open with Grey. Happy? :P
i need to establish my team b4 i can do anything else. btw what is the point of saturday in ftp? its a wasted day imo
Yeah nothing happens on Saturday. They need to move it so that you can make youth pulls on a Saturday instead of Monday so something is happening ::)
i agree :) btw i thought u were going to scotland but it says ur going to lanka ??? btw wanna play a friendly sometime?
I'd love to play you BBoy, once I am knocked out of the spring cup I will challenge you ;)
Yeah I can't apply to move to Scotland yet and I was planning to move to Lanka.
kool ;D i reckon they need to do something on saturday im bored
Haha yeah can get a bit boring. I keep checking the TM in hope of by some miracle somebody good in my price range is ending in the next hour :P They never are ;D
ive got 4 players in a 10 minute window 2nite
That will get it going :D
i know :)
Fine then Alex, if you have made up your mind I won't stand in your way of what you want to do, I will just cry :'(
Great now I am inclined to move to Sri Lanka ::)
At least with the bot flush there is a very very very very very very small chance I might make it to Div 4 in SOMETHING :)
SRI LANKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about Ireland?
btw, I've made my name for next season:
Cricket Academy of Ireland and Australia
Nice name Q ;D
Irelands times don't really suit me, time was the original appeal of Sri Lanka. Ireland would be good if it were about 6 hours earlier :P
I don't like the Times either! I'll spend 1 year there, if I hate it I'll move back to Aus.
Btw, in Scotland and Ireland you'll get the same amount as an Aussie Div 4 team which is great.
Yay! So it's Sri Lanka? Hope a bunch of us land in the same league :D
I know Q, I wanted that money :'(
But moving to Sri Lanka -_-
Now I want to move to Ireland. I like the way they talk ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Plus I have been there, leaves me with a bit of a connection :P
Sri Lanka Vs Ireland Vs Scotland
But, there is only 5 leagues in Sri Lanka, and with your ranking you could well land in Div 4 anyway ::)
But, BUT, I've never been to Sri Lanka and I might not like it there, I have been to Scotland and Ireland and I like it :P
I will try Sri lanka anyway, I like it there, the flag is awesome 8)
Yes, and just a reminder of our great culture in Sri Lanka:
(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_WMh-KV-bVEU/SZ5NdfY7l4I/AAAAAAAAD2o/Ezhe7oOc9oY/dsi00803_k._sivakumar3.jpg)
(wth is up with this guy :o )
Ohh, sexy :P
Does that convince you to come? If that doesn't I don't know what else will :o
Yeah it convinces me ;D
thought it would ;)
Ok, I'm going to move as well.
Purely, on a prizemoney basis, this is what we have to decide, I'm sure you all know this, but this is how i'll be making my decision.
To be in Div 4, you need to be top 120 sides.
Only current nation which will allow this is Sri Lanka, and I'll just scrape in even with my ranking ATM.
New nations in Ireland and Scotland are the only other nations where Division 4 could be reached, but ATM that is too early to tell. We could all reach Div 3 with them if only 64 teams come across.
So, my decision will be made as we get closer to Dec 2.
I've already requested to go to Scotland and I don't see anything changing that. Sri Lanka is okay but Scotland no matter what happens you're guaranteed 4th div money, I'd rather go with the sure thing. So Bagpipes and Haggis it will be for me
I might do the same, although it would mean missing out on watching the commentary... However, if there is a huge influx of people migrating to Scotland, then I might opt for Sri Lanka
I am most likely gonna go to Scotland
SRI LANKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually with BP, Daz, Fletch, money & Valk all going to Scotland I might follow. The money is good. Problem is if I request I need to do it soon but if I do I can't change my mind :(
You still have a bit of time. When I did the request there was only like 20 showing that they want to move to Scotland.
Requested a move to Scotland for now. Will probably keep switching between the two until Dec 2.
Money is tempting...
The money is the big factor for me as well. I have a good solid line up of Accom/Accom players but if I want the outsanding players then will need a few more dollars to buy them. Also the extra sponshership money and gate takings means I can invest more in to my acadamies as well
Yeah this will be good for my SA, hopefully it will be good+ by the end of next season :) Also if I'm doing well might expand my ground :)
I really want to start working on my youth acadamy.
I don't. I just want to be good in SA and earning good money before I go anywhere near YA :P
argh flower it I'm going to Scotland. Not changing again lol

Thats the spirit
I know the feeling BOOMZ I have done so much thinking my mind is seriously about to explode.
I seriously can't split the two so the coin shall decide.
Coin says Scotland wins the best of 5 3-2.
Cant argue with the coin :P
Agreed.
The coin is almighty.
Quote from: Alex7089 on October 29, 2010, 03:22:07 PM
Agreed.
The coin is almighty.
Especially a best of 5. I would have only gone best of 3
So ages ago I voted hell no in this poll about moving to scotland, but now with the promise of more money I am seriously considering moving now.
Would much prefer to go to the sunny west indies instead of miserable scotland, but they have awful match times and I would be in div 5, which is no improvement money wise
NO Alex! Ah well, can't doubt the coin..
Come with us R&B ;D
So much money, you could bribe Ash to make Hartigan the best 16 y.o ever ;D
Don't worry I will still switch a LOT before Dec 2.
It is anybodies guess where I will end up.
If only Paul were here :'(
i heard paul died in sri lanka ;) make of that what you will alex ;D ;D
I thought he was poisoned by the Germans ???
:P
And I hear Germans come from Scotland :P
Wait...
no wikipedia told me he died in sri lanka so it must be true go look
No, it clearly says Paul was poisoned by the Germans while in his aquarium in Scotland :P
On 26 October 2010 Paul died in sri lanka. His remains will be cremated, but the decision on his final resting place and funeral is yet to be finalized.[52][53]
It was expected that Paul would die before the UEFA Euro 2012, as common octopuses live on average no more than two years. After the 2010 World Cup, Paul's owner Julie McDee said there would be no more predictions, effectively sending him into retirement.[2][54] His agent, Chris Davies, said "It's a sad day, Paul was rather special, but we managed to film Paul before he left this mortal earth."[55]
go look quickly this is the article
Oh, so it is :P
Well...?
Paul died in Sri Lanka but his favourite holiday destination was Scotland :P
Fair enough :P
Who wouldn't love Scotland? You get to eat sheep wait...
:o
Cannibalism!
Well, are you are sheep or an imposter sheep?

I'm a sheep ;)
I'm staying in Australia, Scotland has come to me ;D
In the form of Donald Fleming ;D
