Discussion Post in this thread if you are not planning to retire for the upcoming SFA Season

[PMBangers]

There's too many retirement threads, I'd like to see a re-signing/ intention of remaining within the league thread

I'm sticking around PMBangers

The retirement threads don't seem to correlate with actually retiring though.

How many John Farnhams does this league have?

I thought about it and almost did.

But then I remembered a wise mans words several seasons ago. There is two great 'myths' in the SFA:

1. "The league was better back in my day"
2. Retirement.

No one "retires" from this place, very rarely does anyone retire and stay retired.. They usually either come back instantly (as we've seen recently), come back within a season or a few seasons or can't stop posting on the board (looking at you AceAndy) despite being "retired".

People almost always come back. It's like an addiction, like any addiction you can't just quit cold turkey. Really the only way out is to ween yourself off it until you fade into obscurity and eventually get delisted. That's how I'm going out of this place.

I did that once and then came back years later and I was still on a list. I had the same surprise as I did finding out PMBangers is still alive!

Where's the evidence?

 

[Jabba73]

What if you are going to retire but are not going to plan it?

Leave an unmarked sacrifice at the doorstep of your local old persons home

I’m still here but maybe a new club could be on the cards

 

[Cadsky]

In a move that is a surprise to absolutely no one but also disappointing news to everyone, I will not be retiring any time soon. You're welcome SFA.

 

[Senor M]

I do not plan on closing my BF account very soon

 

[AnUltimateRessie]

If I announce my retirement would you believe me anyway?

You could start a trend there though, a correction of sorts.....

 

[Supersuns]

Nerds win.
I'm retiring.

That's how the Roys recruit?

It actually does make sense.
