Well its a start I guess, but let’s not forget we have been relegated so many times, we are in the regional group, the level below division 5. A decade ago we were in division 2.
Its about the administrators too. Our wikipedia page has players as of 2019. It’s lazy and speaks to the culture. It’s most other countries window into our national game, why wouldn’t someone at the BCB fix that? The BFA page is the same, and yes it is our responsibility.
