Unless I'm missing something it's already decided that we will be in the East. It's plainly obvious that there will be players that wont want to play in the lesser division. The majority of the senior playing group favoured the West, however the other members, supporters, junior parents, etc wanted to go East and that's the way the club decided. Piezy I've not heard anything along the lines of what you are saying re: contracted players, etc - sounds like bollocks to me.
How do the senior players that wanted to go west feel about the decision? The club obviously didn't care to much about what they wanted.
