waco 1,026 Posted December 2, 2015 Just a few hours to go now and we should know the points limit..I envisage rapid signings to be made within days .Personally hope the limit is 40 to allow strong teams and better racing this season,and to accommodate some of the decent riders that will not get a Premier League place,otherwise they could be without any team place.and that would be a very bad move...

gee jay 234 Posted December 2, 2015 Maybe cause its a pointless competition it didn't seem pointless when the team were celebrating on the centre-green as the first of the treble but i suppose it's connor that does the number crunching so he should know. i still would have liked to have been in it though, especially with 2 more teams.

david2905 230 Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) All looks alright apart from the return of bloody play offs, can't think what club that favours with a trick Sussex triangle over 2 legs If your not good enough over a season then you are not good enough period, why should a ridiculous home advantage win the day ?.

Islander15 1,062 Posted December 2, 2015 I'm surprised teams voted to bring back the play-offs. The Gold Cup seemed to work. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
david2905 230 Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) All teams have to put a vote in david Indeed, suggests to me some clubs were swayed more by the possibility of 1 or 2 extra nights of revenue and coverage than the fact they have made Eastbourne 2016 champions before it's even 2016...
