That's probably gonna take a while as well.

Yeah, it's looking that way.

He says at one point something about this isn't gonna be, we're playing one game in a season this week and then another the week after, and it's gonna be a transition thing.

But you almost worry that we end up in this dragged out situation like we have getting to this point, where it's all a bit up in the air and, you know, how is this gonna work? And there's even the, the thing of, so a season at, at some point is gonna end in May.

When do you start that next season? Like, something even as simple as that, and we ca- we can't answer that because we don't know when the, the, the format, what the format is gonna be.

Or is that not good enough?

Y- yeah, I think there's definitely an aspect of the, the league overall has, has sorta plateaued over the, the last few years, and that's maybe understandable after such, um, a big burst that happened, especially in the couple of seasons after COVID.

Everybody's firmly entrenched in they either want to stay the way it is and there'll be no change in their mind, or they're, they're dying for a summer schedule.

So it fe- it feels like there's no, there's no middle ground anymore.

Obviously, this vote's coming, and it's gonna be...

Why, why is that the case? They're, they have the opportunity to be the biggest club on this island.
