SCB 0 Posted November 21, 2017 So Rye House wouldnt of got one either STOP APPLYING LOGIC TO AN ARGUMENT! Nor Leicester as they had new promoters too. Machin has been around since time began. Can't be many promoters who have lasted longer than him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,362 Posted November 21, 2017 So Rye House wouldnt of got one either Nor Leicester as they had new promoters too. Is this all true? Maybe we need to know who actually did have a vote! If it is correct it would leave Wolves, Poole, Swindon, King's Lynn and Somerset. Meaning King's Lynn, Somerset and Poole would have presumably voted in favour. I remember when Swindon moved up into the top flight they weren't able to vote at the agm for 3 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cliffeboy 577 Posted November 21, 2017 It's happened before - We had Doyle, Morris and Grajczonek and ended up starting the following season with just Morris. Tbh its happened to us quite often because of our success over our final four or five years in the old Prem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted November 21, 2017 To all intents and purposes it already is One Big League - quality wise at least. So why didn't they do that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,636 Posted November 21, 2017 Not enough decent riders of an acceptable standard to go one league!! 19 clubs = 133 riders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SomersetBlue 212 Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) New promoters don't get to vote for their first 3 years.Didn't know that rule personally as I said but also as has been said that rules out Rye House and Leicester, so much for the cheating theory. You wouldnt be saying that if somerset had 2 lose riders,untill theres some kind of independant commitee this will allways happen self interest as bloody usual !!!Had it done to us plenty of times, infact we have been in the same boat as Swindon with Doyle and Morris. We had it done to us for five years in a row because we had a success run, as has also been said. Edited November 21, 2017 by Brummie Rebel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan_Jones 1,005 Posted November 21, 2017 Didn't know that rule personally as I said but also as has been said that rules out Rye House and Leicester, so much for the cheating theory. I suppose there's a possibility that it was a 3-3 stalemate with a casting vote from the chairman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobblytriers 201 Posted November 21, 2017 I still don't know where this bottom 4 got a vote and BV didn't get one at all idea came from. Haven't seen anything anywhere about any voting results at the AGM or who voted for what. Can anyone enlighten us as to where they heard this or read this, or is it all made up again?

Mattfordfan 286 Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Leicester have already signed a No.1 therefore they screwed the big clubs over. King's Lynn - NKI was the only option for them and when they realised it was Wednesday race nights they knew NKI wouldn't be joining KL and they would struggle to sign a No.1 therefore they decided to jump on the bandwagon. Rye House dont have any plans to sign a rider over 8.00 therefore they also screwed big clubs over. Harris, Nicholls and KK is the plan for them. Somerset cant afford top riders therefore they wanted to screw big clubs over in order to have half a chance in meetings. Should have joined the Championship.

Screwed clubs over or as other people would put it made the league fair and tighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
