Staines is actually called Staines-upon-Thames. Was renamed a few weeks back ;)

Post by: meow meow on June 20, 2012, 11:22:04 PM
Surely the team should have been called Da West Staines Massive.

Why is Swansea in this? Thought this was meant to be English teams? They are from Wales...

Also I was thinking maybe you should limit the number of teams from each region and more specifically county. Maybe a limit of 3 from a specific region, but just 1 for each county?

So far from the team names picked you have 3 from the South East, 3 North West, 3 Yorkshire, 2 West Midlands, 1 North East, and 1 Wales. So looking at the regions that an alright spread, but then when you look at the counties it's a bit silly.

The three from the South East are all from different counties so that's fine. In the North West 2 are from Merseyside, so I reckon 1 should move. The 3 in Yorkshire are all located in the West Yorkshire county so 2 should move. And for the West Midlands both are from the same county again, so 1 should move.

Just not really getting a nice spread of teams around the country...

Well Hebden Bridge is a beautiful place (as seen in the front bar thread) so we ain't moving, sorry :)
Title: Re: English 15's - Teams
Post by: CrowsFan on June 20, 2012, 11:49:13 PM
It was also the last picked, and the smallest of the 3
Title: Re: English 15's - Teams
Post by: elephants on June 20, 2012, 11:51:36 PM
But best and greatest ;)
Honestly though, I don't see a real problem with a slightly uneven spread?
Title: Re: English 15's - Teams
Post by: CrowsFan on June 20, 2012, 11:55:10 PM
Not really a problem, just think it would be better if there was a spread.

It would be the same as the worlds say if all the teams in that came from South and North America. Not really a world comp then (well the yanks would say it was). If you have the majority of teams from the same county then it's more of a county comp than nationwide comp

I see where you're coming from but I like my town and my team name. If there was a massive push for a more even spread I'd look to change it up but as is I'm happy :)

I like your think though ;)
