We had quite a lively and interesting meeting this evening . Unfortunately for Rod,the vote went against him and he was disqualified from all the current knockout competitions. A new rule will be drafted and voted upon at the next AGM ,hopefully to prevent any similar circumstances in the future . |

Does this mean as from now, or from the beginning of the comps? Will the unfortunate souls that were beaten by him be reinstated? I think that Mr Rowe would have to feel very hard done by, if it is from now onwards. Will the whole draw need to be done again? Hard to see that being done as we are upto the third round!
Regards
Rainbow
p.s I would have been playing Rod in the next round!! |

Mr Cee , it should be clear to every member that violence of any sort will not be tolerated or condoned in any way ! You obviously have personal motives in your questionable support of Mr Altes . He'll be off at the start of the winter season because you will be in the 1st division and too many top sides play out of Rileys venues from which he is banned. If you are fortunate enough to be promoted at the end of this season,that will be the last that you see of him. He will surely defect to another lower league side because he will be able to play on a fairly regular basis . It is very unfortunate for him but it is a self-inflicted problem !! I personally think that he is extremely fortunate to be able to play in the league at all !! |

Not sure why you think people should bend over backwards to accomadate another player - Ie give-up a home advantage to play Rod or anyone else for that matter.....bottom line is the lge made a mistake & he shd have been told from the start that he is not allowed to play as the sponsors have banned him.......no need to go into details it is crystal fella - Nothing ag Rod just how it is
Tough on Steve - but guess he knew that Rod was barred so should have picked a diff pairing 
HOW LONG LEFT ? |

Anyone want to run a sweepstake on the date of the next EGM?? Two in one year because people dont like the committees decison. What exactly is the point of the commitee if they can be questioned all the time??
I personally disagree with both EGM decisons, Prop should have gone through and Rod should have been allowed to play, as a decison was already made if this situation arose.
Banning him from a comp is half baked nonesense. Either let him play or grow some balls and ban him full stop.

my opinion is farron rowe should play paul in the next round of the singles, as he had to lose home advantage in the last round and it could of been different if farron played rod at rileys, yes i no my opinion doesnt count but to be fair farron should have another shot at the singles,

League sponsors made a decision of a 'life ban' presumably because of 'evidence' available to them. The sponsors, furthermore, seem comfortable with their decision in so far as supplying witnesses to support the pending prosecution.
With the above in mind, its difficult not to agree with Shaggy & Pondlife in that it seems bizarre the league did not act from the outset & nearly two years on he is still being allowed to participate in a greatly reduced format in this league.
EGM result on barring from competition was unanimous, as was expected by the majority of us, but fell short of reinstating Farron back into the competition. Also, for the past two years now this matter between Steve Field & Rod Altes has been a regular pool hall topic. Crown Court case looming in the weeks to come this topic will be discussed and debated more than ever. It seemed sensible & a perfect opportunity for the committee & its members to quell any further debates by implying a full suspension of playing rights until the conclusion of the impending trial.
Of course, the matter will not quite be resolved even after the trial & debates/speculations will continue to occur. In a previous post, which remains unanswered, I asked Mark to clarify what the committee's intentions are on dealing with the matter in the event of a 'guilty' verdict. Perhaps Mark will kindly clarify to everyone the procedure.

Alex, its not the committee's call on whether Rod is banned from this League as we will only investigate matters if a complaint is received in writing from a League member or from a landlord/landlady or club manager. I explained this last night in detail. We, being the committee are not judge,jury and executioner for verbal or hearsay comments but even at the EGM last night I specifically asked all that were present was there anyone who wanted to make an official complaint regarding the alledged offence and there were members present that were also present on the night of the alledged offence that declined to. There was a party that wished to lodge a complaint but I would not accept it as he was not present at the venue on that night. I did not get the impression last night that the majority wanted Rod banned from the League so why should the committee be asking for it .... We are there at the end of the day to ensure the running of the league as per how the membership want it run. Now if the membership are not callingf for it yet then where does the committee come into the equasion. The call I made re the current situation was deemed as wrong by the majority and they have made amends to that call by the decision taken last night. The outcome of the impending court case does not make a difference to Rod's membership of the CDPL unless a motion is tabled and accepted by the membership ..... whether this is going to happen remains to be seen. I trust that this clarifies your concerns. |

I think the point is being missed slightly, this issue isn't about Rod. It's about what happens when a person gets themselves barred from a venue due to there own actions. In these circumstances is the player 1) barred from competition, 2) Knocked out because they can't fore-fill the fixture or 3) All the players games are played at a neutral venue (not just banned games). The rule should be the same for all players at any venue and then everyone in the league is aware.

Your point flash is going to be discussed in detail at the AGM .... It was bounced around a bit last night but last night was about Rod's continued participation within KO comps for the remainder of the summer and the decision was taken to disqualify him with next round opponents receiving BYE's |

I couldn't agree more Neil, i am more than happy to have Farron re-instated into the comp in Rod's place. I will also play him at his venue as i was 'away' to Rod anyway, and of course Farron lost this in the game against Rod.
If the league agree that is, i think this would a fitting end to the situation overall.

there you go mr rainbow is willing to play farron instead of the bye so all in favour as its not farrons fault that rod has been disqualified so reinstate him as they only played last week, i think this should happen as paul doesnt want a bye he wants to beat someone lol

The agreement reached last night was that next round opponents get BYES as there have been more than one previous opponents that have been beaten in previous rounds. |

i cant talk for farron, but my guess is he will view it that he lost his match, regardless of events after |

I am a bit pissed off about this decision for a number of reasons but first Of all I agreed to play rod because it was deemed correct and necessary for me to I was not allowed to re arrange my game and I lost fair n square so at no point should I be re-instated to clear that up.
However what I am pissed off with is that this decision should have been decided before my match sorry before the comp had started. A serious lack of common sense from all parties involved I feel. Like I said I was not allowed to postpone then an EGM is called on my 21st birthday( think I had better things to do than go to this) then the people of the Croydon league chose to throw rod out?!?
I feel that's just wrong. He should have been allowed to continue in the comp other wise the people who have been knocked out feel agrieved. I understand it was not logical for him to continue in the comp but mr Halsley should of taken note of that in the first round.
Well at least now this can have a line drawn under this farcical debate and decision

I think the main reason for disqualifying Rod is that the latter stages of the knock-out competitions will be held at Rileys. If that wasn't the case it might well have been a different decision. It really would have been a farce if the final and one semi-final etc had to be played elsewhere when Rileys are stumping up a bit of cash to sponsor the competitions. |

Ive kept out of this and i have not got a problem with Rod. He has always been polite and a good winner and loser either way. What Rod does in his personal time is up to him. I for one think he will be a loss to the singles/doubles cos u always want to beat the best. At the end of the day the committee/rileys have f--ked up big time in letting this progress so far. Ive been reading alot of things on this website lately,and i think people are losing track of why we play pool mon/tues. Its suppose to be competitive and enjoyable guys so lets all try to get back to that. |
