Despite the opinions of the usual knowalls in this forum, this isn't too bad a team.

GiveusaB Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 I think a strong reserve pairing, failing that, one strong reserve (all season) could pay dividends! (having the advantage of taking 7 rides if needed...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that most people think you'll finish bottom should be viewed as a positive, it takes all the pressure off and means there is only one way to go. People can only judge and speculate on what they see on paper, its what a forum is for. You shouldn't take it personally if folk think thete are eight better teams, they are only opinions after all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGT Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 This looks a bit worrying.

That's a relief. The story on the Greyhound page was yesterday's date, they're a touch slow on the uptake then I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
