I see that point, but I don't think it's realistic for some of us.
I don't identify as a tribal player, and agree it is definitely something about London polo that is 'broken' or could be better, but also am realistic: A lot of people don't switch scenes because it's not logistically possible for them to commute that far on a weekday evening. I'm not sure there's anything you can to to address that.
But we can address souths numbers dipping and being erratic (unreliable) which means some people have abandoned playing/setting that time aside for polo.
(This is something I'm going through myself, and is putting me off attending: I can't justify protecting days from the rest of my social life for polo, because when polo doesn't happen on those days I resent setting aside the time. This happens purely because the south community seems hellbent on never having a routine when it comes to Sunday/Monday).
This is also something to consider with trying to get new players into the sport: It's easier for us to have set days people can try and make time for in their calendar, if it's on some weeks not on some others because of numbers, that becomes an admin headache.

What Beagle pointed out is if SOLO polo happens on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the Northies have Wednesday that would be three straight days for people wanting to play both.
Maybe not many people do that at the moment (Beagle, Miles, Dauma, Laura and myself...), but I think we should be making it easier for more people to do that rather than fewer.
I am not a fan of the segregated polo tribes and think it would be better for the club as a whole for there to be more south players going north and vice versa.
London Bike Polo > Monday night polo imho #beaglewinky
