Title: Lack of ball boys = loss of entertainment and points..
Post by: Jezza on December 22, 2018, 05:45:07 PM: On a day like today when one side is just not interested in even getting the ball for a throw in a team of ball boys would maintain the teams momentum and put pressure on the opposition.
...and make us look less tinpot as a club..

I take your point - it would have helped - but doubt the ballboys would have helped us defend any better today

It's a valid point. We could have had the ball in play for an extra 2-3 minutes with ball boys. Might not have affected the result, but it would have sharpened up the game.

10 mins?? A bit OTT but I get your point jezza. I presume the ball boys have gone the same way as the stewards??
