Just because it’s been known doesn’t mean it’s right

How is it wrong? Its a simple equation. Whoever wins Money deserves a spot more than whoever finishes 8th.

Im looking at the top 4 currently, and theres no way those sides compete consistently in Barclay next year. Will be a quick drop

So you say. The lesson here is don't finish 8th then. Will be relegated form 8th going forward so not sure why this year is such a issue

I think it's more of a case that the 11th best team is replacing 8th best team. Next year won't be an issue as it'll be the 9th best team replaces the 8th...

Who cares? If they arent good enough to not get relegated straight away so be it, happened plenty of times

The only ones upset are clubs finishing 8th and 9th looking for someone else to blame
I think the suggestion was that IF their teams got relegated then they might be on the move, not that they had signed anywhere before the end of the season

think there are quite a few on here completely missing the point of the upheaval at seasons end, they are bringing in a new shield grade , to have 4 shield grades of 8 teams in each grade, which means every team can play each other twice, once in a 2 day game and once in a one day game , realistically, in 4-5 years time , the grades will have sorted themselves out and most people wont even remember the upheaval of this season, 10 odd years ago , if someone had said that Plenty cc or Montmorency cc would be playing in mash shield , what would have been the response
JT was out the door this time last year & then backed out of his agreement with the new club. Chrimes a class act!! You must be kidding yourself. He & his team carry on like lunatics when things don’t go there way. Even refusing to shake hands in a recent game until the umpires got involved & quoted spirit of cricket. I couldn’t care less if players choose to move to other clubs but don’t go calling people “class acts”, when its not the case.

Chrimes and class act in the same sentence is one of the funnier things i've seen on here
