I know I'm being moody here, I had a shit day yesterday and am venting.
I have always had a problem with the lists because I see the idea of suggesting there won't be enough people to play as a self-fulfilling prophecy. If we hadn't said anything on the forum, 4 people would have showed up and we would have had a session.
When was the last time a session didn't happen when it wasn't pouring down with rain? If it's an unusual session or if there's something else happening then a list is justified, otherwise I think it puts people off by giving an unrealistic view of people who are commited/not commited.
The only people who I would realistically think would regularly use a list are Me, Danny, Dice, Josh and Chris. That means that other than the random uses by other people, we are always going to assume turnout will be low.
