I've not been gifted with the skills to pen such romantic prose,...but I can give you my own take on the situation, Circa 2024...and one would have to say, "The game, as we once knew it, is FECKED,...and I do mean, proper FECKED".... There where some good contributors to the weekly or monthly sporting press papers in the days before we had the internet. A lot of it was shite but worth buying for the good stuff. Thank you to those who wrote the good stuff. 2 Quote Link to post

I’d say there more game to found than there ever has been. Granted some places have been built on, but there still masses of land, lifting with game. 2 Quote Link to post
