after much deliberation i have chosen to write this blog again as i know do not care if the Students Union reads it as the UCLAN badminton team is not getting the funding that they deserve as one of the universities most successful teams.
even after relegation last season we are still one of the universities top teams but the SU doesn't fund us for a tournament where we could win them BUC's points.
if we were the football or rugby team we would have got the funding no problem but as badminton isn't deemed to be one of the more important sports we didn't get the funding, even if we are going to have over 100 members this season.
no wonder the football and rugby teams believe they are "god's gift" when they are favoured by the SU so much,and i cannot see why because from what i have seen the rugby union and football teams are not that special and average is a word i have used to describe there playing abilities, i suppose that's what you get when you pick your mates.
so although the badminton team are not recognised by the SU i believe all the teams will get promoted this year and the men's first team should win the cup so maybe the SU will recognise what a successful club we are,on second thoughts they probably wont.
