What's going on in the Poloverse

http://brightonpolo.tumblr.com/
trying to boost numbers in brighton, figured if I can get this going it might be a good place to send noobs. If anyone fancies haring on fb or with any friends in B-ton then it would be much appreciated

Anyone know anyone living in Brighton? were having a beginners session on sunday which you could be so kind and direct them towards

No more We Are Animals for next season. Piks is not joinning the team, Salvo orginal member is back to Italy and Morgan is leaving the team.

Does it mean Piks and Dodi will play together next season ? Who will be the third ?

Wich team will join Morgan, after his great season with WAA ???

Yessssss Greggy, more rumours. :)

Good stuff.

On chante!...

"Ou jou Jo Pompon? Quelle equipe, Jo Pompon?"

I can see Morgan going to true danger

Morgan would be a very good pick for true danger. He was good a WHBPC, but he was way better at FHBPC, the Golden Goal game in the LB between WAAnimarc and True Danger was epic, from 2-2, Luca and Morgan were on fire, scoring amazing goals till 5-4. If WAA won that game Morgan would have been the MVP of the FHBPC.

What about Morgan with piks and dodi? Killer team?

Just a question but if they play together where will they play the EHBPC qualifiers ?

not in france that's for sure ! ;)

That should be EHBPC's problem not a multi-national team's.

I've never understood the 2 from each country thing... When you've got people of all nationalities playing in other countries just because they are in the country for a few months...

If I let them all stay at mine before the uk champs, they will all be uk players right?

The problem is with the allocated spots. Would UK or any other scene be happy to lose a spot to a non domicile team? Just go back to the UK Champs and Euro qualifiers thread, the talk was quite heated on giving a wild card spot to Cosmic. So you can pretty much draw a conclusion on the prospect of a super team playing in a Euros qualifier of a given country.

Is polo institutionally racist?

I think it might be...

Bungalow Bill shaved his beard and now has a mustache. He looks like every single cop in South Dakota. Pretty much like this:

This is yet another reason why regional quailes are a better idea.

If this years euros got rid of countries allocations and just had four regional quailes, it would mean the top teams would be the ones entering...

My opinion is that if 3 players are regularly playing in different countries from one an other then they should choose one (maybe guided by the EHBPC tournament committee like Rupert says to make things fair) and then they have to play in that country's national championships. A player should not be able to play in more than one national champs.

ANYWAYS the french gossip thread has loads of gifs... we need to step our game up. Down here in Cambridge we just created a new move based on this:

Ah Europe...

Yep, as Rupert says, that's the EHBPC organisers problem. I'm amazed it's not really been an issue up to now, but I'm sure you will get more of that.

The NAH deals with it by allowing such a team to qualify in any of the 3 regions they can.

But we may also be moving back to a system of open qualifiers for next year anyway...

Boom!

Can we get press releases too, with quotes from team and arriving player? This is the best transfer window ever.

And a short interview of cliches with them shaking hands and holding up their new shirt with name on.

I want a picture of Yorgo the manager parked in a flash car near downs / newt / mitch. Looking glum and shielding himself from the papz.
