Good numbers to manage given you more than likely will get a player or 2 who cant play for 1 reason or another ( away shopping with the other half, getting their hair permed or the like) oh and work commitments too) and it all about commitment to the club I guess so 18-20 fully committed players better than 26 half hearted players., Never ever going keep every one happy thats a given.
so what about age /ability / fitness where do these sit in the equation?
Forget about the commitment of the Board or Committee members ( well all they do is come and support on match days... right!!) that`s a hole other post.
