Nice to get the team done early, and a team that should be together all season, barring injury. I’d be ecstatic with that team, really solid and will definitely makes the playoffs barring loads of injuries at the same time (again) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine Lynn & Glasgow would've been happy if Rowe signed contracts to ride for another club, while still in their teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? They knew their contracts ran out on 31 October 2024, why would that have any effect on him signing a different contract to start on 15 March 2025? My gas contract doesn't run out until the end of Feb 2025, I've already signed one to start 1 March 2025. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris - 6.06 RS. Boughen Total - 39.96 While I've enjoyed watching Iversen ,& Harris over their careers and Kvech & Cook last year, on occasion Boughen too... that's not a team to challenge. Sorry. That team would need to be 10 points up by heat 12 to have a chance. Klindt is always injured and out for the season by May. 5 hours ago, Marky_Mark said: Bomber not at Kings Lynn And not Oxford. Surely won't be at Belle Vue. Don't tell me the Sheffield management aren't building a ridiculous top heavy team! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, please don’t because you’re talking b0llocks. No club should be given a helping hand. We already have a points limit to try and keep the leagues competitive, carry on trying to manufacture performance/results and you start veering towards WWE nonsense. Performance this season should have absolutely no bearing on preparation for next season, a totally different season where everyone has the opportunity to do better. I’ve already stated I have some sympathy with Birmingham on this occasion because of the uncertainty over their future and seemingly being a step behind everyone else on team building. I don’t have a problem with Birmingham being protected slightly on rider control as a one off and I’ve already said as such. What I don’t like is restricting certain clubs who had a successful year and helping those that didn’t by bringing in this ridiculous favouritism on rising star control.

And yet an awful lot of people take American sports seriously, despite numerous ways in which weaker teams are given a 'helping hand' (draft picks, revenue sharing, salary caps etc). Without support for weaker teams many tracks would have closed at some point in the past and in all likelihood been permanently lost to the sport, thus accelerating the sport's decline. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth WWE attracts huge audiences wherever they go - and tickets are by no means cheap! Give the followers what they want. Create heroes and villains, goodies and baddies and hype up the media!😉 Wake up, we're in the Sports Entertainment sector, people!!

Goldhawk Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago Birmingham need some help for good of league and sport as a whole. Premiership needs as many clubs as possible to get sport back on upward trajectory again. id say 10 is the number we need to be credible league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
