But I've heard the same thing off 2 different ppl now. Teams do need to start announcing riders though. Especially if they are signed. This is the perfect time to sell season tickets. But no1 will Buy any till they know what the team is I would think quite a few are sold as Xmas presents so you are right. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted December 2, 2018 49 minutes ago, BLACKHEART said: Matt Ford announces signings when he can get maximum publicity in the Bournemouth Echo. Buster Champan always reveals his signings later than other clubs. Robert Lambert to King's Lynn is a done deal judging by the photo on Robert's twitter. Panthers have 6 riders. Poole 5 riders. Belle Vue probably have multiple riders signed that's why Tungate has been eleased. Ippo more than likely have riders such as King signed for 2019 already but are holding back on the announcements. Don't panic Ippo fans. Everything will be ok. I can understand Ippo and Panther fans being worried.. But Buster is his own man and he has lots of money in these clubs. Things will be going on behind the scenes. If Buster thought he would blow lots of money by doing this, he wouldn't of bothered. He needs these teams to be competitive otherwise he looses £££ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In return they should be given a bigger signing on fee. But clubs are not going for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only when we have all seven in place will we begin announcing names, as if you start making things public before contracts are signed, that’s when you can hit problems.'' Name them.
