National Finals 2008 - 4th Section Test Piece : Shipbuilders

MightyForester, I was straight to the point about what I said to them, re the 4th Section attitude. I never mince my words when something like that is concerned!!

Masterblaster jnr, you play for Skelmanthorpe B? Some people in my band heard yours and thought you guys played very well. But I agree, I think that if your beginning isn't at a certain standard the adjudicators get all moody on you.

Hear Hear!

About the 4barsest coverage. It was very silly, and I'm not too happy with it either. What I was wondering was whether there was going to be a proper review? These were only live comments, so how is it suppose to be a detailed review? However, if this is the way they treat the 4th Section, do we really want their opinion?

Yep - you'll see the 'contest retrospectives' appear a few days afterwards with some pictures, but don't expect to read a lot about your band if you weren't in the top 6 as they tend to get a bit "collective" in their comments after that.

Croft might have done better if some players had stopped at one drink on the Friday night.
