The BBC know which contestants will be competing in Strictly Come Dancing by early summer. Why do they only reveal them one at a time in the last few weeks leading up to the programme's start in mid-September? See if you can work out this homework on your own.

Belle Vue Cook - 8.45 Drozd - 5.00 Tungate - 6.18 S Worall - 6.77 Fricke - 7.39 Bewley 4.60 A.N.Other => 4.11 38.39 Who is available on 4.11 that would add value?

Shifty Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Shanes 2-95. Etheridge 3.89. Pickering 3.55. Kurtz 4.02. Gappmaier 4.00 These are the one's I can think of who could be OK - but there might be some unknown Pole or Swede or Dane out there already being spoken to ??

Shifty Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Craig Cook just announced as the 3rd signing. Great to see him with the Aces again - 8 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonh Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I've seen Gappmaier ride larger continental tracks and he's certainly add strength at home... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces High Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Massive year for Craig, I hope he can take his chance to reach the 'next level'. He might not be the strongest rider in the league but he is one of ours and nowadays it is uncommon for any rider to stick with one team for so long. Good luck to him! 7 minutes ago, foreverblue said: Loyalty doesn't win you league titles.

But you let him go for KK Newman, Ellis prime examples of a lack of loyalty. I agree that loyalty doesnt make you successful but Poole are one of the worst when it comes to loyalty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Just now, Gavan said: But you let him go for KK Newman, Ellis prime examples of a lack of loyalty.

At times you need to be ruthless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, foreverblue said: Where was their loyalty? Swindon signed a rider on a ridiculous average (Doyle) and they kept Morris who had a poor year the previous season. That's loyalty and I believe both would still be riding for Swindon this year if the BSPA conference hadn't voted for the ridiculous one over 8 rule. Not to mention Ellis - who had a poor start and was kept in the team! Edited January 17, 2018 by Steve0 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 What loyalty does achieve is continuity and many fans like to be able to identify with their team over a number of seasons, one of the reasons why the sport was popular in the 70's. Even better if you can retain a good level of local British riders and especially those who have progressed through the ranks from novice upwards. Of course loyalty has to be tempered with building good teams and fitting into the points limits but BelleVue have shown both historically and in recent seasons that it can be done. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
