Whilst I agree that the rules are the rules, there would appear to be perfectly valid reasons for this unfortunate event. Where a team has to find somewhere to park in Croydon and then struggle up them bloody stairs, extra time should be allocated. Also when it comes to a player of Mr. Jackson's status, he has to acknowledge his fans and sign autographs when he arrives. More time should be allowed. It is not his fault that he is generally perceived as an icon in Croydon's pool history. This decision needs to be reviewed by the committee. Obviously both the Wizard committee members would need to disappear for the meeting.
