SteelShoe Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 7 hours ago, Fromafar said: Take away Poole and Oxford and the Championship is hardly flourishing.Just a Premiership and NDL level League would suit a lot of Promotions the way they are watering things down think that’s their aim. Worky crowd level dropped away abit from what I gather. Worky crowd concerningly did drop away in the 3 end of season meetings against Poole x2 and Plymouth. Reasons probably include missing riders due to injury, substantial first leg defeats against Poole, low attendance of away fans due to distances involved , the BSN effect, big gaps between meetings and fixture clashes at the start of the football season. Even some locals watched the home play off semi final second leg on BSN instead of attending. One wonders what effect screening so many meetings has had on club attendances overall this season. Have other clubs suffered reduced attendances and if so what reasons do fans think are the contributing factors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Ford's always have at least 3 pencilled line-ups which as we saw this season can change at the last minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz9100 Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 The team isn't finalised yet, as the average limit hasn't been fully agreed yet. Some teams are struggling and have been asking for an increase over the current 38. (unless things have changed this week) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having a go at any riders j2ohn just a personal assessment.Paul has been an excellent servant as is Kyle I just don't see them being signed by the Ford's but as you say top riders in the top league and we are getting on a bit gone are the days of watching Briggs,Mauger,Super Simmo etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anders Rowe strong possibility with his Polish aspirations. Starke depends how much he is worth to the Pirates, Vinnie a strong possibility. William Cairns ? Personally I think there are better tracks for this young man to hone his skills on. Poole will be after him no doubt and have the financial clout to turn his head.
