At 35,000 that must work out at over 2,300 club teams playing every week..
Russ , are you in arrears with your club subs? If not your earning too much money son.
I'm also registered as a full time student

Re: Question on numbers….
are these virtual rugby player stats just to keep up with KPI's?

Re: Question on numbers….
Average of about 50 fixtures total involving adult teams in Ulster clubs each week (ulster Branch website) which would equate to approx 1500 adult players-being a member of a club the adult game has diminished shockingly in the last number of years-mini rugby is a big catch but to be honest is a creche facility in a lot of cases and is there any throughput into the clubs later once they move on?

Re: Question on numbers….
But, you have to be wrong, adult rugby is thriving in Ulster with more games than ever being played.striker wrote:Average of about 50 fixtures total involving adult teams in Ulster clubs each week (ulster Branch website) which would equate to approx 1500 adult players-being a member of a club the adult game has diminished shockingly in the last number of years-mini rugby is a big catch but to be honest is a creche facility in a lot of cases and is there any throughput into the clubs later once they move on?
Re: Question on numbers….
I would say the Sperrins around Dungiven and you could check the South Armagh hills and best check the Cooley mountain as well just in case Leinster have borrowed some for the annual head count, mind you the ones you find in South Armagh might have been borrowed from Leinster in which case there won't be any on Cooley if you get my drift, best to send out a letter with notice that you intend to do a head count so the figure match up and pray Leinster don't check their number on the same day.Cockatrice wrote:are these virtual rugby player stats just to keep up with KPI's?

When you are checking the Sperrins ones watch out for lorries with DL plates dropping some off and don't count them twice when you head to Donegal, neither lot up there realise they are part of Ulster !

Re: Question on numbers….
I asked one of those nice little committee members and they tell me 4,700 registered players. A long way short of the 35,000 players claimed but as you say who apart from the KPI's checkers actually cares… Gone are the days anyhow when you could be picked out playing for your club and find yourself in the Ulster team. Its now all about being picked out at schools level and fed into the system.. no real room for late development..BR wrote:Surely they just make those numbers up.

Some rare wans there. The white NI one with green and orange font is interesting and Scotch Irish Must be something to do with whiskey.
