As far as not hearing anything since, Danny Ford has been quoted in the local press that team plans are well under way and we're all looking forward to the new challenges in the Championship!

I've said this enough times, but how does Weds nights work in the PL? A fair few seem to be doing Denmark next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone should ride against each other ONCE home and away. If you have to do it twice for league meetings then there aren't enough teams! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course i would rather more teams in the Prem, I don't think anyone would think anything else.. I worded that post carefully, I didn't mention I wanted Poole to stay up. They are the team I like the least out of the last seasons 7. If I had to pick a team to "swap" with the Tigers it would of been Poole... But the real reason isn't what you say at all.! You have the wrong end of the stick there Lisa. The reason I think Poole will stay up is that I don't trust Ford, and I do think it could be a bluff. If it were any other team I wouldn't think of a bluff at all ! Happy to take the flack if I have got it all wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting times. Rider demands need to change? It's not difficult, If you think a rider is demanding an excessive deal, don't pay it. Either they won't get a contract or if they do then that's the market rate because someone else was prepared to pay it. Blame the person prepared to pay it not the one asking for it and getting it. If they ask for an excessive amount and don't get a job because of it tough on them. Riders demands being excessive is the symptoms not the cause. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe riders with excessive demands should go and work there, if there's room for them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackrat Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Bet the Paul fans are feeling better this morning showing they aren't the only favourites for a title who choke in a semi final, least New Zealand took defeat like men and didn't try & cheat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
