Could we please try to get this right in future? The situation this year has been less than satisfactory.

Neil,

You are the master of understatement!!

The complete fiasco of the ever changing draw begs the question - What is the point of publishing a provisional draw?

Haha, it's great when someone can be facetious in the face of a major balls-up!

How hard can it be?

I think the county Championships draw was done as per the rules. Good luck to everyone in the competition.

Lets see if you can prove me wrong - or just write more comments for which the total membership of the forum (About 10 ppl) can read over and over again.

I have no feelings on this subject what so ever, as it does not effect me at all. So here goes, there is an issue here, is there a way of doing the draw so whoever is drawn has it written in stone. A bit like the FA Cup?

You have to treat me like an idiot here because I have never been involved but I would like to understand how it works and what the problems are.

Thanks

Andrew,

I'm not sure that this kind of reply does you any credit, any more than a terse two word reply to a formal email complaining about the situation does.

If there is a vacancy for the County Championship Controller I will volunteer to fill it.

You would be good at the job, I'm sure, but is it the turn of someone outside the MCCU to step forward?
