Surely if players join our club they would be more passionate when out on the pitch if they moved here and lived here within Leicestershire ??
Cant believe we have players commuting here from places like Yorkshire and further..

Some might argue that if they moved in to Leicester, they would be much more inclined to leave.

I'm scared now because I'm not sure you're joking.

Especially when you consider how quickly the clubs cut and run from players, and visa versa.
If they lived in Leicester they would be more likely to be abused by twats while they're doing their shopping, or on a night out, so would be more likely to leave.

Exactly.
Ex-pros have the time to knock around charity events and enjoy golf courses in the countryside, but the current squad doesn't.
I mean, I bumped into the Birch in Mountsorrel Co-Op a few years ago and the fecker wouldn't stop talking, other people need to be saved from this fate. (Nah he's a lovely fella, so was Muzzy when I met him, but it still makes no difference where a pro lives)

The last 'big signing' to move to the city was Matt Mills (as far as I am aware), worked out well didn't it.

True, but when average players weren't getting squillions, they were expected to move. I sympathise, but do not see how a player puts everything in at training when he has a couple of hours driving to do afterwards. I understand that Richie Wellens, for one, found commuting for training too stressful; surely not good.

Does everyone who catches a train into London, and then onto the tube, hold themselves back at work in preparation for the commute home?

I often fly to visit customers and have to agree after my travel I really can't be arsed to do any work because I'm thinking about going home, I'll have to think up another excuse for why I can't be arsed to do anything in my home office.

He said hold themselves back in preparation for a commute. Not in preparation for an afternoon bowel movement.

Why on Earth would you think that? What possible effect could their postal address have on their pashun while playing?

Richie has lost his driving companion for at least a month so he will be knackered if he is driving everytime now.
