Starman2006 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) I think you're reading too much into things though, I do agree sticking "OFFICIAL STATEMENT" above the piece is a little misleading but I don't see how it's wrong. Yeh yeh, All you Coventry fans were convinced there was a message in the Christmas tree prezzies etc, and some of you blinkered few actually believed that.

kingbee Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 From what I can gather both Coventry and Peterborough have been excepted back into the fold but there is a problem with one club not happy at all about what has gone on. Might be beacuase their team plans have been ruined with know no number one or a rule change. Expect an announcement on the 4th January. The thing is Steve would the said club be able to agree terms or afford the three number ones that are left and also would they want to ride for this club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they accept both clubs back and find a top rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that you are referring to BV who will end up bottom of the pecking order yet again Perhaps they should have gone to the PL to replace Kings Lynn ?

I'm sure Holder will turn out to be a decent number one in this weakened league. Just have a liitle faith. Merry Christmas!

Chris Brown Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Wonder what the hold up is, we were told that the meeting was being held on Monday 20/12/10 with a press release 24 hrs later,48 hrs later still nothing except speculation. The longer this silence carries on the less likely it will be good news IMO. Sorry Martin, I didn't read your post (above )probably read somewhere on here about the time scale,still the silence is deafening What as customers of the respective businesses, you expect to be told what is happening. I suspect that you are expected to keep quiet and wait until the egos involved decide you are entitled to know.....................or until Rosco puts it on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_boon Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Let Belle Vue sign Hans Nielsen as their number one, and they can have a guest for him every week. Simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 The thing is Steve would the said club be able to agree terms or afford the three number ones that are left and also would they want to ride for this club I suspect that a club that can afford to pay Crump, KK and Andersen would be able to afford them, whether the club in question can I don't know. However, KK has gone to Brum, Andersen wants to be near his home. That leaves Zagar, rumour has it he was BV bound last year and changed his mind at the last minute so that will probably not make him top of the popularity list. Who knows what will happen. What was the name of the competition law expert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dornier Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Theres no such thing as a team not having a number one . The rider with the highest average in that team is number one . Because the BSPA have made a rule saying each team can only have one rider over eight points it is now assumed that a rider is a number one if he has an average of eight plus . This is a classic example why rules should not be changed all the time, eventually you get yourself in a knot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces51 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 A No.1 is a rider who has the ability to compete on a level with and beat on a regular basis the top rider of opposing teams. Most experienced fans can identify who is who isn't a No.1. When BV ran in 2007 with Simon Stead as their best rider it was generally acknowledged that he was not a No.1 rider.

Steve Shovlar Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 If Coventry and Peterborough come back we could well lose another EL team who are far from happy with what's going on. Coventry and Peterborough might not be back quite so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
