So you wanted to sign Nicholls and Kennett and end up with Morris and Lawson on a lower combined average. Shouldn't you be thanking the BSPA? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyE 822 Posted January 27, 2018 I very much doubt Neil Vatcher has done this unaided - no doubt one, or more, complaints have been made and he has responded. One thing is for sure is that we will never get the full story. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliv Clav 60 Posted January 27, 2018 If the BSPA/SCB had said that Ben & Zach's average were going to be changed, no team would have signed them at all until they were! Why leave it until this close to the season to change them, surely it doesn't take 3 months to sort out 2 averages?! Mind you, they changed Hurry's listed average 5 months after publication last year! We need an independent governing body, that can set rules at the correct time and stick to them! With the make-up of the team changed, and a long tail in place, I can't see us challenging for any trophies this year and will struggle mightily away from home. Can't see many Hammers fans travelling to away matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they DID ride in the PL in 2017 and, thus, have current averages to be used and/or converted where appropriate. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KevtheRev 122 Posted January 27, 2018 Careful what you say about Vatcher - you'll get the website shutdown !!!! As for the comments abut Rye fans bleating on about things - once again it you Lakeside fans that keep making confrontational comments. Will I be returning - Not a chance in hell.

marko 955 Posted January 27, 2018 We never travel that well away anyway, I still think it’s a reasonable side, maybe not a stand out unless the likes of Zach hit the ground running, look at Swindon last season, no one fancied them. Anyway what’s done is done, there is no point debating this any longer, a decision had been made and we will have to take it on the chin and battle on as we always do.

Then along comes the SCB and says the BSPA letter is not worth the paper it's printed on. Not difficult to work out why the sport is in a mess is it ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you Marko it’s going to need Zach to really push on, he was top class last season so fingers crossed he can push on again this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
