Kicks the weekend off perfectly. Enjoy a win on Friday night and the rest of the weekend is stress free too........

Well there's a natural turnover of a certain % I guess (deaths, people moving away, financial reasons etc) but the broad ST base has been at the same number for a few years........not sure even the dross of the last season would cause many to stop, as the vast majority will have done several...
