Heedthebaw Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Emilali and RobinH88,why don't you do everyone a favour and go away and join Aljack on the Ipswich thread, you two are obviously of the same mentality. I can not for the life of me understand why you claim to be Supporters of a sport you continually rip to bits on this forum. Why waste you time commenting on something you so blatantly do not like ? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Did the guys get a practice on the track not much being said. I wasnt there myself but looking at other media outlets I think the riders did have a go on the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Great to see another PL club using team suits. For me they should be compulsory as they look far more professional than random kevlars with race jackets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The counter arguement has always been that team suits somehow take away the individualism of the rider,something I done agree with.I like teams in race suits for the reasons you give. Just an idea but I wonder if the club have thought of producing team shirts as merchandise,they could look like the top half of their team suits.

Just an idea but I wonder if the club have thought of producing team shirts as merchandise,they could look like the top half of their team suits. I agree as well team suits do look really professional. Also I don't think it takes away a riders individuality as they still have they're own bike covers.

Bagpuss Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Several EL clubs including my own sell replica shirts. Uniform bike covers are also creeping in to the EL and I think that rider numbers and helmet colours are sufficient for identifying riders.

freddyfivetoes Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Real argument against team suits appeared in Berwick's own programme last season. That they are fine, except when you change the team/get a guest/have an injury, etc. Then the new guys doesn't wear a suit and it all looks far less professional than no suits. Imagine Manchester United turning out on Saturday with eight guys in red shirts, two in blue and another in training gear. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Did the guys get a practice on the track not much being said. Was there got some good practice in Ricky was looking quick as was Matty Kozza did not seem to be out very often they were racing alone. I liked the practice better last year when they went round in pairs maybe they were being cautious after last years injuries who would blame them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was always the opinion of our former centre green presenter,team kevlars are the thing for now and the future and Im in favour of them,they make the sport look more professional. Take your point when using guests,maybe the club could invest in a couple or three spare suits. The Man Utd point is relevant though,on most saturdays one of their players runs round in all black blowing on a whistle from time to time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luluthetiger Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Due to dreaful bad luck for Andy Tully, looks like Newcastle might have to start the season with six race-suits and a soccer jersey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are rules in Football that that prevents that happening,In general Team suits are good for the sport IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
