That would be a fine example for the Chairmen to set when he’s telling everybody else to cut costs. How did you manage to turn this into anti Rob Godfrey? Somebody farts you would blame Godfrey.

Not anti Godfrey comment at all, just pointing out a hypocritical comment on throwing money at one rider but not at another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Rob knows something that most people don't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is unless Scunthorpe or Redcar can better the deal that has been offered which i understand is heavily backed by a sponsor to provide equipment, mechanic and a better deal than what was offered at Leicester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would tend to agree with this scenario as probable issues with Klindt & possibly others flying in & out of the country on higher than normal air fares plus the covid restrictions could mean places become available in the Premiership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still very big question marks around certain riders being able to travel in and out of the country, especially with Poland calling the shots. We are a month away from the start of the season and there are quite a few teams scrambling round to try and get a team of 7 riders together... and rumours of other teams joining them with the likes of Klindt, Bewley, Kurtz, Holder etc possibly being stuck abroad - especially given riders like Vissing and others have been ruled out in recent weeks. Let’s not forget that Swindon pulled out of the season too in the Premiership which has made some riders available who otherwise wouldn’t of been. Some people called for it at the time and in hindsight it certainly seems the way to have gone. 6 man teams with 1 ‘rising star’ Brit. This could of been reviewed again at the end of the season then once the travel arrangements would likely be resolved for next season in 2022. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Agree going to be many more team changes with Europe still in the grip of Covid and travel being difficult to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
