Quote from: MintTrav on February 28, 2012, 21:53:18 PMI can"t see the relevance of population statistics to this, other than stating that the regions are broadly comparable in population size. The most relevant factor is the number of active APAT players (or potential players likely to brought in by current players) clustered in an area. Any area of 100,000? (prob a lot less) could support a team if the player concentration is right. Comparing the winning potential of such large areas on the basis that one has a population of Xm and another has 2Xm is completely spurious.Not at all. As valid as anything elseeg...London is a huge region. It happens to be grossly under-represented in terms of Active APAT players. for that captain, and teammates, therein lies the opportunityto get competitive by serious recruitmentScotland is smaller in terms of catchment area than some other teams. However it has an established group of motivated players who bask in very cleverly seeded notions of national pride that are invoked such that everyone signs up, including those who once watched Braveheart or an Old Firm Derby on TV and dream at night of the smell of deep fried mars bars and decided they hailed from Glasgow. Admirable stuffI would hope that head start would not persist, as others catch up on numbers

Scotland had the biggest team so far because the captain and team work on recruitment instead of complaining on here. ..... nuff said

On sign ups scotland have 9 first posts on their sign up and northwest have 16 !!Scotland have the most players already with apat so if they recruiting as hard surely they should have more apat virgins NOT nearly half !(not sure about other teams just checked the scots with their unfounded statements lol )Prob bad tactics on my part sure you will treble your efforts now lad !nuff said
