Shame. Nolan wrote the following to me yesterday and I think he has a
good point.

I think the idea having a northern and southern team is great, but am
not so sure of persuading VH to be that team. Sean Young said he
had heard that there might be a Scottish Masters team with old
Sneeekys like himself and perhaps some old Stan boys? Have you heard
any such rumours? Have they contacted you? That would be a really
cool way to approach it.

If there isn't a chance of a northern (or any) team coming forward,
then it definitely would be beneficial to drop the second slot, and
concentrate all efforts on one team. Let me know how you get on.
