Hi Guys,

Apologies to all for not typing this sooner, but better late than never.

I get a lot of thanks for the work done on the league, probably because you see me a little more on the forums, but it’s very important that I say a big thank you to all the background staff. Many of them you know already, but some new folks have joined the staff this year, giving up their free time, to produce the league and races that we all enjoy. Also, thank you to Mark for creating the Starters Orders game (best there is available to us horse racing fans by a country mile) and providing us with the software that enables us to take the game into the league.

If I've made a mistake, or left anyone accidently off the list, apologies for that. Trying to remember the growing list of staff doesn't get any easier .

And last, but by no means least, a big thank you to all the trainers who’ve uploaded horses. Whether it’s your first season, or you’ve come back for more punishment , without you folks entering your horses, and into races, we’d have nobody to run the league for.

The league was given a home on the ORLWorld.com website, as a one stop shop for all horse racing games, and a base to run a league from. The SOPL is now in Season 11, and is the longest running league of all the horse racing games on the ORLWorld.com site.

Thank you to you all for making it a success, and no matter what happens with your horses, enjoy the experience.

Good luck in the coming weeks, and watch the forums for the commencement dates, upload windows, etc.

Cheers..

Colm

A big thanks to you also, but yes a big thanks to everyone who helps makes this great game that much better.

Thanks to all these guys and Colm himself. I know a lot of work is involved.

I concur.

Thanks to Colm and to all the others that make the league possible, an amazing amount time is given up weekly to make it work.

Cheers.

Yes thanks to every one of you.
I know I few of you have been doing this for many years, you know who you are. I'm hesitant to thank Dodgy cos he's a kiwi (reminds me, should go check the cricket score )
Na a joke of course mate, all that coding you do, seriously people don't realise how much brain strain is involved. I just got my diploma in website development, and I need a brake....dude...

And all those behind the scenes that never get any credit I salute you.

Yes a Big Thanks to all that help out with the league
