Right call for me. I would say for the most part, the debate and arguments on the pot stayed quite respectable (for a change)
I was always going to support the proposal because I don’t think the question over the reserve pot was big enough to derail a hugely positive refocus on SMISA growth.
Personally went back and forth a bit on what size of pot is suitable, initially thinking I would have preferred the £1 million. Hearing the arguments and views though, I am comfortable £500k is prudent. It’s an additional safety net over and above the club, who will see their bank balance swell a decent bit with the cup run.
Now though, democracy has spoken. Let’s embrace the changes with passion to grow the membership population. Like other contentious SMISA situations recently, it’s time for all to move on.
Tickets sorted, very excited, need to calm down a bit, over 5 weeks to wait.
Now, our numbers should be, what, double what we had last Saturday?
People flying in from far and wide, traveling from all corners of the UK and all the locals.
The Tifo on display was outstanding on Saturday, credit to all involved.
Wonder what they'll come up with for the final?
