Olympic Incentive

[Thumb]

Interesting statement yesterday by B of E. Cash Incentive to English players to perform in the olympics.

How dividing would that be, it is a British team that competes at the Olympics and very recently the top singles players in the team have not been English. - the incentive is aimed mainly at the singles players.

The split of money is so uneven in the UK and the incentive should be to all GB players not just one nation

Good point thumb but how do the other nations compete with the funding the English get?

Calum did well at European juniors but will that get the Scots more funding, the Welsh and Irish less?

How can the other nations be as competitive without the same funding in place in order to get a bonus or incentive?
