Speaking for myself and not for my team

It's a fair point about geo teams and in an ideal world everyone would play 
with the team they are nearest to geographically.

But I play ultimate for enjoyment.  Now that doesn't mean that I don't want 
to improve my play or play for a good team, but it does meant that i want to 
play for a team with my mates.

The arguement about never improving unless you live together isn't strictly 
true.  It just depends how commited you are to playing.  Poco Loco have had 
quite a number of practices this winter and have definatly improved as a 
result. We have players based in London, Cardiff, Bristol, Sheffield, Leeds 
and Liverpool.

Because a lot of the ultimate community are " young professionals " the 
chances are we are going to move around the country a lot and we'd be 
switching teams constantly.

It WOULD be easier to play with our local teams but out of choice we choose 
to play with people we get along with ( Apart from Coy of course, he's just 
there for historical reasons :-).  It's a pain in the arse but at the end of 
the day surely it should be up to the individual.

How many Clapham players would play for Red if they happened to move to 
Leicester ?

Not a criticism of Ben but just being realistic.

Rob ( Un Poco Loco )
