Django Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Wolves, Coventry and Kings Lynn are winners from that. Leicester, Birmingham and to a lesser extent Belle Vue not so in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 It would have helped if they announced before the draw that the method of picks had changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irk Deflector Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 It would have helped if they announced before the draw that the method of picks had changed. it probably happened during the draw!!!!! Unless we all missed something in the rules they put out the change does nothing to enhance the BSPAs reputation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Your welcome. Now I know how ignore works then I'll add you, wish I'd known about it in 2010. But look at the pearls of wisdom you would be missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Cracking result for Kings Lynn as somehow they got the 2 riders they wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irk Deflector Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'd imagine Lambert will either be in KL 1-5 or replace Rose when he's 16?Has Chapman been taking lessons from Ford!!! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500cc Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 https://twitter.com/richieworrall Richie Worrall not happy on Twitter. He is correct I believe in that the only thing riders signed up to was they wanted to be part of the scheme. The bigger issue is what happens in March or later in the season if there aren't enough riders. The later season is a massive issue of riders pull out of the scheme. And they will once promoters start to sack riders because they've found somebody they perceive is better. As I said, this is the moment for promoters to think of the sport and not their club. Are they collectively capable? I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 How had it changed? Club able to name A and B list rider at the same time rather than as indicated all A selections first then B. Unless the whole draw took place before it went on twitter. The twitter announcements is the way to do it though but one rider at a time would have raised the tension. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

500cc Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Probably just me (and being unfairly negative), but would it not have been more fun to tweet out the picks one by one and slightly slower, so we could consider the next selection. No great delay, but just a pause. As a follower of the NFL draft it is great to think what the next team on the podium will do as a result of the previous pick. Club able to name A and B list rider at the same time rather than as indicated all A selections first then B. Unless the whole draw took place before it went on twitter. The twitter announcements is the way to do it though but one rider at a time would have raised the tension. Not just me then !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have done it the way they said but then again it was supposed to be LIVE so how could they have done that. Oh who cares as the emphasis on getting a good top 5 when you're scuppered at reserve is the real loser. Roll on 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
