One rule change this season, that I think will affect our style of play more than other teams is, that no multi-ball system to be used in the football league, do you? No point in using it in other games if you can’t in the league, is there? Will it mean fewer ball boys? :unsure:

Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth.

What do they mean by multi-ball? Do they mean it as in: the ball's gone in the stand, but there's already a ball boy waiting with a ball who throws that in, and fetches the other ball, or do they mean it as in if the ball goes 'out the park', a new ball must be fetched from a bag in the stadium?

If it's in the first case, we never used that system anyway last season so it doesn't bother us, at least, as far as I can remember. If it's in the second case, then it's a stupid rule as we must then spend a good portion of time looking for the ball.

The multi-ball system at saltergate was hilarious; crowd throwing it back when the ballboy had already thrown one; ballboys throwing a second ball when the first was patently on the roof of the main stand and coming back down.
