However, back to my post from earlier I mentioned that I heard about a Regional being held in Manchester NH. Why is it not feasible to have it there? Oh because Matt says that FIRST has expressed no interest in returning to Manchester. Well, I definitely do believe they need to express interest in a Northeast Regional and no UTC doesn't count. That's why I believe a new Regional will happen in either Boston, the center of the Northeast, Worcester, or Manchester. Time will only TELL... SORRY MY CAPS JUST STARTED TO KICK IN AGAIN.
Hey, I think you got me wrong there. I didn't say it wouldn't happen. I didn't say FIRST didn't want it to happen. I just said that the only people that I've heard interested in a regional are not from FIRST. They are only on teams from the area. Will there be a new regional in the northeast? Maybe. This i sjust from some of my own seemingly random observations and I appreciate corrections if any are needed, but I believe that New England and New Hampshire in particular are not large growth areas for FIRST. FIRST is going to expand regionals where there's growth because that means there's need for more regionals there. When the number of teams remains mostly constant (and that's mostly what I've seen in the New England area -- witness the small number of rookies at the New England regional), there will not be expanded regionals. Also, I believe that New Hampshire in particular seems to be loosing teams as opposed to gaining them. Now I may be totally off base with that but that is just the appearance I've gotten. Please correct me if I'm wrong. And please don't take me as saying I don't want a regional in Manchester or in New England. I'm just trying to show what I think will happen.

Matt
