Craig Cook on Twitter......After 8yrs at Belle Vue I am not in the 2019 side. Disappointed to learn this from a reliable 3rd party & not directly from the Club despite many calls with ML. I now have to move on. Love to staff, friends, sponsors & fans. I will miss you all.
I didn't say that you did. Doubtless there are some who know, as they announced several weeks ago when the team would be revealed, which would indicate that the names were already in place. Anyway it'll be a very nice surprise if it isn't crap.
It actually denotes what stage the servicing is at, some engine builders change different parts at different services and that is a way of keeping track.
Why would it even be there if they aren't? What next, Jayne Moss at Buxton announcing that she won't be signing Jason Doyle, or Eric Boothroyd announcing that he isn't making a comeback? Anyway someone claims Alex Harkess has confirmed it.
You could also argue that an even lower points level would have been an idea, there'll still be clubs over reaching their finances just to reach this one.
