This is kind of what I’ve been saying Orange. Somehow we’ve got ourselves into a situation where we have a back room staff of basically one. It’s too much for one fella so it doesn’t get done. Our business model seems to be predicated on getting volunteers in to do stuff - even pretty important stuff. All power to people who volunteer. it’s not for me and it looks like, for various reasons, it’s not for many. I suspect the BOSG/ LBSA situation may not have helped. It seems nuts to be spending a small fortune on grounds (plural) but what appears to be cut costs really severely on behind the scenes people and playing/coaching staff who deliver the product at those grounds. My gut feeling is it’s a false economy and it wouldn’t surprise me if by season’s end we have one of the largest playing rosters in the league.
