Hi all, welcome to 2025! Two reasons for this post: 1) wanting to get early commitments for the 2025 season from coaches, and 2) waiting for someone to put their hand up to be commish for the season ahead @Len is going to in Italy (lucky fella) from mid-Feb to end of March so we will need to be a lot more organised this year if things are going to run smoothly. stripey ✔️ Bearfly ✔️ JC ✔️ walesy Doobs Lucas Len ✔️ snoz ✔️ thokash ✔️ Johnson PhilArthur ✔️ JMac ✔️ Iain ✔️ JoshyC ✔️ graeme tim0714 EddieV ✔️ Gumby ✔️
In again for 25 (gotta try to keep as many original coaches as possible), but unfortunately can't commit to any official league positions due to caring duties for the wife and regular medical travel for her
Understood - at this stage it looks like @Len will take over with me as interim chief while he goes on his Italian jaunt, unless someone else is keen to put their hand up?
I will put forward the proposed 'Important Events' in the coming days so we can all be clear on whats happening. The SSP finishes on Friday 21st Feb with the first game on the 6th of March (13 days later). Ideally we would start the draft after that however given it has taken 13 days to complete the last two years drafts I suggest we will have to start the draft on either Friday 14th or Monday 17th of Feb and exclude any SSP signings made from now to the draft from the pool of available players. Lists can also return to the normal levels for 2025 - 26 players.
From having a quick look at my list seems I need to find an extra 4 delistings/trades that I'd rather not, so anyone with a high draft pick willing to take on a couple players/picks hit me up.
I'm also up for any ideas people might have to speed up the draft. Due to the notifications/tagging being a little buggy on this site, my thoughts are: Option 1 - give admin your mobile number and you can be texted when you're up Option 2 - we email you direct when you're up (admin have visibility of your private email accounts) Option 3 - Use WhatsApp for notifications - personally I'm on 50 odd WhatsApp groups due to my kids sports so what's another one! I know privacy is possibly a thing for some of you but there are already a few coaches I chase via text and Twitter/X, just looking to make it easier and less like pulling teeth.
I'd rather not use whatsapp as when I used to have it for work I just constantly got scammers messaging me somehow. Happy to provide my phone number or the e-mail address linked to my phone though.
Leave SSP for midseason draft imo, and start on the Friday. Anyone with ctc info for those not yet confirmed per @stripey s post above plseas hit them up I'll start working on updating the team lists in the next day or two, SC late opening is a real shit
i have found a spreadsheet on another site i can email to you Len, see if it has everything you need?
