Bash Posted Monday at 01:42 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:42 PM On 11/22/2024 at 12:03 PM, ouch said: Great post and a clear description of the situation. The only not the same is point 2 where Ipswich by choice strengthened so Keynan had to go whereas Belle Vue had to de strengthen and not by choice (but due to the rules) a rider had to go. If you are a witch, I’d be interested to know if you think Keynan was dropped due to money or due to the signing of Tom. So you would be happy for Ipswich to keep the same team but be well under the points limit. Teams change every year to fit below the points limit. Rules are rules, all teams have a choice what they do to fit to the points limit. So if the rumours on here are true and BV drop Mulford when Cairns becomes 16 is that not by choice? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a whole point under the limit and were rated as favourites last season. It’s a choice if we decide to give our youngsters half a season each (I like the idea, if we do it). That’s the point I’m making, as you say teams choose to drop/sack/conscious uncouple riders but some play the innocent card when they are anything but. If you want to make changes, that’s fine, just own it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be sacking Mulford because Cairns would give you a better chance of winning (meetings + the POs), it's zero to do with giving them half a season each. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is, if we made that move they’d have about half a season each whatever motive you want to spin. Plain English. World champion Jake more than held his own in the play offs with his heat 8 win v the tigers securing the win and the heat 2 paid win at Leicester effectively knocking the wind out of their sails. If we feel it beneficial to share the season for the greater good we will. Having a squad of junior riders on our books gives us that option - which is nice. Keep an eye on them as you might want to tap them up once they become more established. £££££ FYI. Not all clubs are the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trotter65 Posted Monday at 09:47 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:47 PM Regarding Rew at Ipswich, once Brennan became available and they could fit him in then it was a no brainer for them to sign him and an equal no brainer that Rew made way…I don’t think his progress has been great and for me King and Ellis are potentially a far stronger middle order than Rew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we wouldn't be 0.49 under the limit when you take away the 2.5% reductions for the british riders and the 25% reduction for Dan Thompson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing by the rules is a solitary Aces thing. Still can’t believe an outside source was required to ensure the rules were adhered to, extraordinary behaviour for a “professional” sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t get it but seeing your latest post I guess it’s a topic of discussion at the Foxhall clubhouse. If you look back I bemoaned the way the rule makers had gone this season and said I’d prefer a witches team with say Zmarzlik covering for Doyle. I bit of a reach for you to grasp. As someone who looks out for people in general and riders in particular, I cannot in good conscience discuss our wonderful sport with someone who takes umbrage at a club trying to cover for an injured hero as it effects your results or not wanting the sport to play by the rules. I’m sure other witches fans will take you to task over this but yourself and the other grim individual, several buttons short of a full cardi or whatever it is are being shunted off to the ignore list.
