Clicky click environment by the sounds of it then😩

I think it’s called jobs for the boys, I don’t begrudge anyone who takes a position in the sport at whatever level but I do wonder why some take the spot when clearly they either crap at it or in some cases haven't a clue what they are doing despite their best intentions

Big ego’s with little brains unfortunately.

Decent expenses rates would feature pretty highly. The number who actually do it "for the love of the sport" are far fewer than many like to make out

I don't think that this is true at the lower levels. My experiences in the MDL some years ago suggests that this is exactly what happens, despite the total indifference of the promoters.

It was what happened, don't think it is now though and the number of MDL sides would reflect that. If anything the volunteers who were doing things for the love of the sport were pushed/priced out by those who wanted the credit for themselves.......PJL anyone?

There has been plenty over the years but like I said I don’t begrudge the people I just don’t understand why you would take the post if you don’t bring anything to the table, personally Ive turned down a few jobs in the sport because I didn’t feel I was the right person for that role as much as I love the sport I can’t take a job in it just for the sake of it
