Its raining a llloooottttt, fields are closed, so BPL Semi-Finals are deferred until next week. Stay home with your honey.
LD Stu has also given us some clarity - if fields are closed next week (and the rain is forecast to be here for a while yet), then there will be no Semi-Finals, and the highest ranked teams following the home and away season will go direct to the Final on 4 June.
At this stage, this Sunday's Fight the Phat is on - its early days yet and the field owners at JFO (the hard men of League Refereeing) are less nervous (than woosy soccer Juniors) about stuff like rain ;)

So is this 6th BPL team going to be a 3rd Buggers team? Initially I'd say 'no way' and 'what's the point', but I guess really it doesn't make much difference. So long as the rules are you have to stick to the roster you start with at the start of each season, it doesn't really matter what name a team has.
You can be anonymous so long as you behave ;)
But I guess it doesn't send much of a message, particularly to new players, if there isn't a diversity of Clubs.
UQ started the trend towards 'more than one team', but originally at least this was a split between current students and alumni.
But I guess the UQ experience is illustrative - people decided it was better to enable some mixing across that line as it helped younger players be exposed to older ones.
And I'd be willing to wear it if the long term goal was to grow BPL to 90+ players and establish two divisions (BPL1 and BPL2), where if a Club wanted two teams, it could have one in each division.
Humble thoughts I guess.
Word on the street is that it will be a completely new team, not increasing the Buggers club into some sort of mega-club.
two divisions? lets burn that bridge when we come to it! haha I for one welcome new opposition. Its always exciting to play against new teams with different strengths, tactics, players and such.
The Buggers Mega-Club would be one of those dark places full of bev's in stonewash listening to 'urban' music and hoping that a chikc would come into the bar 'just once'.
The only problem with the JF O'grady fields is that they are in a bit of a ditch which is renowned for flooding. i am gonna check out the fields on sat and make my final decision.
