I was reading a post on Facebook by a guy who had his car broken into while he was attending the draw for a match. The car was parked outside the club house and it was just before the match - so in broad daylight. I feel for the guy, and I hope they catch the criminals that did it.
All that aside, I was staggered by the amount of kit he had with him in a few of holdalls. He says there was £10,000+ worth of gear stolen including 2x 16m poles, a dozen spare sections, 25x top kits 14x rods and reels, and a lot of 'accessories'. He also said it was not insured
I am not a matchman, but I do join in a few friendly matches. I though I took too much gear with me. Do you 'serious' match guys carry as much kit? If so, why?
