Arch Stanton Posted November 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Phil The Ace said: In alot of cases. Most of these signings are verbal. Nothing signed, untill it's signed then the riders can go anywhere else. And you don’t announce them until they’ve signed the contract. Doesn’t mean clubs are “drip feeding”. If a club announced a signing based on a verbal agreement, revealed the rider to huge fanfare through their media channels, only for that rider to end up elsewhere then the club would rightly be criticised for being unprofessional. You just don’t (or shouldn’t) be officially announcing anything until the ink is dry on the contract.

How can you announce something that hasn't been confirmed? I dont mean ipswich necessarily, all 6 teams... it's nearly december and only 4 signings have been announced? Normally teams are half or more completed by now in both the PL and CL... just seems to have been kinda quiet so far this winter is all? We dont even know what the official final averages will be!!

Maybe team's are waiting to see if anymore top riders want to race over here? We can all hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Sheffiedl not announcing their 1-7 on Wednesday 1st December? I think that you will find most teams have a minimum of 5 riders signed, while some teams have clearly had their 1-7 signed for a while and are just timing their announcements to get maximum media exposure.

We're not even out of November yet, and most teams are planning to reveal the compete 1-7 already. I've never known it all sorted so early! Usually at the back end of November we're still waiting to hear the outcome of the AGM, the points limit, and who is in which league. I can even remember in the recent past when signings were being made in March in the last week before press day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the tweet they put out on Thursday, sounds like the full team will be announced this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy cookie returns? Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 So Kemp confirmed as a Wolves rider. I'm surprised a very talented local rider has moved on after one season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Sometimes you can't fit everyone in,,, unless you are certain riders. I'm sure Drew will be a far better rider spending a year at wolves,, than a year at Foxhall,,, if he can master Monmore,, then everywhere else should be a breeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siggysigalos Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Decent move for Kemp. and agreed, i dont think he has been in Chris Louis's plans since the season finished. Just couldn't fit him in our final 7. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't much use at Foxhall this year though so moving on makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted November 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Paul Starke and Anders Rowe as the rising star confirmed. That’s confused me a little I must admit..

With Rowe as a rising star,,that has basically saved Ipswich about 1.5 pts on their team average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted November 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Doyle 8.96 King 7.96 Heeps 5.10 Riss 5.26 ? Starke 4.58 Rowe * That leaves 7.14, plus whatever reductions. That means either the rider we’ve been heavily rumoured to have signed in the last few days has fell through, or we haven’t signed either Riss or Heeps which the strong rumours indicated we had! We surely haven’t built a couple of points under?? Edited November 30, 2021 by Arch Stanton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
