If I were promoting it (with my own money) I would wait swell, because you would want the most attractive players in it.<br /><br />However the new format was not conceived just to get Jimmy in. I was actually at Crondon Park when Matchroom were discussing changing the format because they thought the old one was a bit stale. My suggestion, for what it is worth, was two groups of five. I may even have suggested they could shoehorn Jimmy in. Anyway, they decided on the format that is currently running.Dave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037719321756898982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-31020157041817925302011-11-08T00:29:26.934+00:002011-11-08T00:29:26.934+00:00trevorp
