poolebolton 464 Posted January 16, 2020 I think last nights announcements were great. I quite like the 2 manger idea. And surely racesuits is a good thing. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,858 Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) What a great idea with the racesuits. Forever and beyond promotors have whinged and said how much they cost (as proven before, isn't a great sum of money), well this is a great way of involving fans and sponsors whilst covering the costs too. I see no reason now why other teams don't follow this idea up now and launch a similar campaign themselves. Edited January 16, 2020 by Najjer 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardly ground-breaking! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t say first hand about other teams, but I know Glasgow have done this for years and still do. On the “oop north” team manager, I did offer but somehow they thought Havvy was a better bet. From my point of view, I think they’re right 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need a track expert and ££ to fix it, not riders Did they not have a so called track expert last year look what that did for the track? And lost Matt Ford a load of money.
