  1. Do you not think Sky are missing a trick by not offering Sport as a stand alone Package.
  2. Maybe an opening for BSN to step in if they think it would be viable.Certainly no problem with their coverage of the sport up till now.Dont know the “ ins and outs” regarding TV rights though.
  3. Can 2pt riders really pick and choose where they want to ride.They really should be happy to get Team place and just get on with it.IMO
  4. Correct.Think some people just can’t resist having a “ pop” at Poole.
  5. In a 2 -legged match you would expect the Team manager to make changes to get the best result,otherwise fans would be moaning why he didn’t.Any result is possible in a 2 legged match.
  6. Think you have been on the bottle.At least he was honest enough to say he was not enjoying riding and done the correct thing in his mind.
  7. Seemingly got and in their Rugby Branch.
  8. Did he work for them last year though.If not, it was probably part of the deal.
  9. Agree to much fuss about Teams building to limit for the sake of it,it’s the potential that counts.
  10. Quick enough to resign for this season though.
  11. Time to come out of hibernation then and get right behind the lads.
  12. Strangely enough when I was complaining at my local Sorting Office at erratic deliveries ( sometimes not at all)was told the way the envelope was made up it could be the bar coding not being read properly and having to go through the system again.Just Saying.
  13. Think it reflects the general state of the sport when you don’t won’t to put on a local derby,especially given the sparse fixture list over the season.Worky fixtures have generally been reasonable attendances in the past .
  14. Unfortunately the fixture list is just about a copy and paste job.Certainly won’t attract newcomers and probably find a few more losing interest.
  15. The decline of the sport in GB is the obvious reason for Cardiff be no longer viable( relying on casual people turning up for a sporting event is not good business model).Discovery are relying on selling the sport to TV audience and don’t want massive outlay expenses ,hence the reason that they are running in existing venues some of which don’t have large capacities.The clubs and Countries pay to host the event and probably have to cough the money for Temporary Stands ect. .Thats what happened last year at Manchester hence the very high pricing, which backfired big time.Im sure Manchester will sell out this year though.(hopefully they will get the pricing right to sell it out though) Will there be profit in it for whoever Promotes it,is the question.
  16. Cost of laying temporary Track ,lack of funds from Welsh Subsidies for event and declining crowd levels .They were virtually giving away tickets last year(£20) are more likely factors.When the World Team Cup was at NSS insure capacity was about 9000 with temporary stands at both ends.
  17. Could be a surprise package in the GP’s.More consistent these days.
  18. Did Faafeng lose his life in a car accident.?
  19. Not questioning the signing,just pointing out the differences in tracks.Wish him well
