And getting disillusioned about it all and thinking of packing it all in.
I enrolled on an ECB level 1 course 4 years ago. Very interesting it was too. Sat the obligatory exam at it's conclusion and passed. Great I thought. There's my summer season weekends sorted. Being involved in my favourite game and visiting local clubs towns and (even better) villages. In the fresh air hopefully adding positively to the players and everyone having an enjoyable day. (Even get a nice cuppa and buffet between innings).
But now I feel burnt out after 4 seasons. Rude and anti social behavior from players and their 'fans and families'. Constantly overstepping the mark for decent behaviour and playing within the spirit of the game.
Yes....'unacceptable' behaviour can and is highlighted in our match reports that are submitted to the local league administrators....and fines and suspensions are sometimes issues to players....but that just fuels more animosity when you visit their clubs the next season.
The situation is getting untenable. I will probably give it one more season and see how it goes.
