SCB Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 It was worse than that this year. Clubs could protect a rider they had used the previous year even if he wasn't an asset ie.Garrity at Coventry which, as I have pointed out before meant the advantage they gained from first pick in 2014 carried on through to 2015 despite the fact they had finished much higher up in 2014. The continuation of that formula will mean very few tier one riders will be available for the bottom club to choose.Its amusing that Wolves and Lakeside who thought the draft would work for them in '14 because they had Ellis and Morris as assets failed though - yet Coventry come out of it well, in fact very well BV have not done too bad out of it either. Sadly Poole have done as well out of it as they hoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Its amusing that Wolves and Lakeside who thought the draft would work for them in '14 because they had Ellis and Morris as assets failed though - yet Coventry come out of it well, in fact very well BV have not done too bad out of it either. Sadly Poole have done as well out of it as they hoped. Very sad and even Newman seems to be going through a difficult spell. As for Belle Vue, I think we have done ok. Worrall is doing what was expected and Nielsen,after a difficult start, seems to have found some good form both for us and for Ipswich. It will be interesting to see what happens next year if some step up into the 1-5. One rider who seems to have missed out is Richie Worrall, if he gets his chance next year the Aces will be able to protect him but it depends on what is happening to Steve.

Countershaftcounter Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 As ever between promoters, there were some dodgy dealings and agreements floating around right up to and including the day of the draft. It's a closed shop and they sort it out amongst themselves, not really caring who they drop in the rubbish. Sadly i've learned this from bitter experience.
