it might not be, at the time we had to set it up, and we contributed to the problems
ourselves in a way.
It was Manure taking Mooniaruck off us, by flying him to manchester, hence less than 90 mins travelling time, that caused us to complain to the FA (quite right) that then got the rules chagned to 90 mins driving time.
This then further reduced the area that we could recruit from.
Of course, i highly doubt we would ever have been clever enough to work around the restrictions in the way that manure did. Far too Nuaghty for us to do that, Doncaster could never been involved in something that might make him look bad at the FA.
