Same as Belle Vue had 1st pick on Palin..... Sheffield with Bates.... Palin is an asset of scunthorpe our only asset from the list was Bickley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine if Josh had been Matt Ford's nephew and Poole had signed him using the same criteria?? This place would have been in meltdown!!! 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But why would Peterborough get to pick their rider ahead of Belle Vue? Or is there something about the selection process we have not been told? Yes. After new boys Sheffield, the rest allegedly got to pick in order of the 2019 finl league table, worst to best, so the order of picking was Peterborough, King's Lynn,, Belle Vue, Ipswich, Wolves. (Though that does make you wonder why Drew Kemp wasn't picked earlier) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If anything should let league champions have first pick etc as they probably have the most points to shed from their team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
