If riders are doing anything to cause a stumbling block for a league sponsor then they really are being short sighted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem a bit weird for a rider to refuse. So cant see It myself. But I've heard the same thing off 2 different ppl now. Teams do need to start announcing riders though. Especially if they are signed. This is the perfect time to sell season tickets. But no1 will Buy any till they know what the team is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Matt ford has said in the past he waits to keep it in the press. I know BV have done so in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As not many riders have signed ...shouldn't be that hard to find out what ones don't want to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 49 minutes ago, BLACKHEART said: Matt Ford announces signings when he can get maximum publicity in the Bournemouth Echo. Buster Champan always reveals his signings later than other clubs. Robert Lambert to King's Lynn is a done deal judging by the photo on Robert's twitter. Panthers have 6 riders. Poole 5 riders. Belle Vue probably have multiple riders signed that's why Tungate has been eleased. Ippo more than likely have riders such as King signed for 2019 already but are holding back on the announcements. Don't panic Ippo fans. Everything will be ok. I can understand Ippo and Panther fans being worried.. But Buster is his own man and he has lots of money in these clubs. Things will be going on behind the scenes. If Buster thought he would blow lots of money by doing this, he wouldn't of bothered. He needs these teams to be competitive otherwise he looses £££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only when we have all seven in place will we begin announcing names, as if you start making things public before contracts are signed, that’s when you can hit problems.'' Name them.

The problem is if you cannot offer your sponsors the coverage they have had in previous years they will leave, and when next year you ride for a different club with less restrictive practices you will struggle to regain your old sponsors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
