It is good to see some considered responses, it gives me heart that some people can see the big picture here. The BOA have a meeting coming up this month and I would have thought that this was the forum where such important decisions were made. Benson has hit the nail right on the head with his comments, it seems a real case of the tail wagging the dog.

GB has now made it more difficult for us all and the future of our sport, they seem to have quickly forgotten who went into bat for them when CMAS decided to take the Sheffield championships of them and move it to Serbia. A number of individuals put allot on the line for them.

Those individuals were vindicated in their actions as Serbia did not even send a team to the CMAS games and Sheffield was such a success ( sorry I am dwelling in the past).

Now GB has division in its own ranks and division from the rest of the world, something that will take years to repair if indeed it can be repaired at all. I do not understand the comment about BUSA from Monster as if the BOA got on board then they do not need BUSA, BUSA was set up solely to deal with CMAS they do not have any recognition to government so the BOA would not be affected.

To want to play in a B grade tournament certainly brings into question your commitment to the sport and the standing of yourselves as a once competitive group. The looser here will be English hockey,.

On the up side Scotland and Wales will now have a free run to climb the ladder.

Cheers
