Quote: Etl-Fcfan "I will admit I have been critcal of Rochdale, but there are a lot of good jobs there.
However, I think people's annoyance comes with your seemingly more enthusiam for festivals, rather then focusing on the league.
Also, you will see on the fixtures you posted from us and Halifax, they are all league fixtures. I think the amount of festivals that have cropped up this year is beyond ridiculous. Surely the best way to promote tag, is to have one major, well promoted festival in the year, and a well promoted grand final day.'"
We play in a as many festivals as we can because we prefer them, Its as simple as that.
From our experience Tag works better at 7 a side rather than 13.
In reality that is what the majority of people prefer. The Bradford League, The Skolars League, there's even a League based in Devon who play Tag at 7 a side.
Around the world in Australia and New Zealand were they play OzTag or in Ireland 7`s has proved to be a winner. There's even a Tag League just started in France and they have gone with 7`s.
I think that for the TML to continue and prosper that it needs to adopt 7`s as its standard format, played in a fortnightly format with Festival points going towards a final League Table.
I believe that in York next season they are having their own Tag League alongside Bradfords.
The Swarm are going to be running a Spring Tag League as well with probably 4 teams playing in a 7 week league.
I think Teams should look to forming their own Tag Leagues.
But thats for another debate.
