Whither FaTTFC vs BPFC? | |
This year's 1st & 3rd vs Black Prince football match was less competitive than in previous years. This may be a consequence of BPBC having gained more recent graduates, leaving 1st & 3rd somewhat disadvantaged. How should the fixture be run in future years to keep it competitive? No change |  | 41% |  | Pick teams on the day, each being mixed FaT/BPBC | | 0% |  | Play (e.g.) strokeside vs bowside, again with mixed FaT/BPBC teams |  | 6% |  | Organise a composite FaT/BPBC team to play, say, the College 2nd XI or another boat club's old boys |  | 12% |  | Only run the fixture in years when there is particularly strong interest from FaT | | 0% |  | Have a 5-a-side tournament instead | | 0% |  | Play the game in Michaelmas term when more 1st years are likely to be involved |   | 41% |  | Abandon the fixture | | 0% |  | Other (please suggest below) | | 0% | Total: 17 members' votes (3 comments...) |
