On one hand they're saying don't play unlicensed games as its not safe, on the other Rob is being stretched to breaking point trying to get a 'pukka' license for his club.
If they don't want people playing unlicensed games, why create such a ridiculous barrier for those trying to become licensed? Sheriff |
