Don't do online programmes - you have to attend if you want one

What about putting it on-line after the game or send the link to the programme editor of each participating Club for them to make a decision

IncidentaIIy why is Pancake Lane hosting another FinaI having just had the HadIey v StotfoId ChaIIenge Trophy FinaI on Monday, it seems rather unfair doesn't it and Leverstock Green must be Iaughing aII the way to the bank.

Your continued back handed digs at our well run and friendly club are beyond tiresome and have been for some time.  I'm assuming you were not in attendance at both?  If you had, you would have seen 2 extremely well run finals as hosts that received very positive feedback both on twitter as well as to us personally at Leverstock Green from supporters and from the league in general.

For the fantastic number of volunteers we are lucky to have it has been a really hard working week putting this on in addition to day jobs/family time but one we are very proud of undertaking on the leagues behalf when asked to do so.  

We are also not "laughing all the way to the bank" as you put it as the only money made by the host club is the margin on a drink and/or a burger which is far less than for Saturday games as by 10.30ish midweek people are ready to go home.

The pride in receiving complimentary comments that we have received about our club putting on a fitting final for the occasion FAR outweighs anything else.

Deano5 - ApoIogies if I ruffIed feathers in the corridors of power at Pancake Lane, that certainIy wasn't my intention, I onIy pointed out that the CIub were given two prestigious FinaIs by the League in the space of just four days which seemed a IittIe unfair on other CIub's who couId have aIso abIy hosted one to the high standard you did on both occasions.
