I'll be in but will be a little late.

[scotty2hatty]

No worries with late entries - answers will be tomorrow night as prepping for an interview I have tomorrow.

[scotty2hatty]

No idea where the picture went for question 12. Was definitely there since the early entrants got it correct. Seems like it was straight forward enough anyway so will score everyone as correct.

[superwomble]

In. I saw Q12's picture a while ago but yes gone now!

In light of the recent downfall of Waz1892 F.C, from winning the Championship league in S18, to being bottom of the entire league structure, within 2 seasons, the club has parted company with its Chairman and Board of directors.

The club is aware only to well of the expectations it puts on itself, not only from the manager but to the whole community, it can't be seen to take no action.  As the club made the difficult decision in , when the board resigned following a poor performance in that season, its clear the club has to take drastic action to stop the boom/bust period it finds itself in.

As a result, and with immediate effect it gives notice, that (dates depending) it will withdraw from the Scotty FA for the duration on Season 21.

During this time, the club will take its players and staff away on a 2 week training camp in Spain, where it will re-build from the bottom upwards, and come back fighting and will request re-election from Season 22.

As a founding member of this league, the decision has not been taken lightly.

Damn that tie-breaker! Well done chaps

[scotty2hatty]

Quite the history you have their Waz!

Doing yourself a little injustice for Season 20, was bottom of the Championship, not League One. Was just a really high standard last season, everyone smashed it.
