Yeah, your funny - but addressing the half that was not in jest.
I am not saying anything against "improved organisation and increased
public awareness". However, the easiest way to grow the sport is not
through mass media, but from within the sport. Increasing the number of
growth centres by supporting the fledgling teams, producing a record of
players so that players without a team can find one (lots are lost after
leaving university), keeping the cost down, continuing to make the sport
attractive for those who play. If we do this then ultimate growth
should be exponential, as its growth will depend largely on its existing
population.
Incidently, I mentioned some of these growth issues last year and we
still haven't got a register for players, the cost of ultimate is about
to go up, and I haven't seen Stirling or Strathclyde at any tournaments
this year. So where is the "improved organisation".
