They'd then miss out on Christmas sales, the biggest time to sell a calendar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A slight improvement all round next year will surely put you in the frame again. That's a pretty good assessment. There were silly points dropped on the road early on. But when Hans was brought in and Zaine started scoring some points it looked like a winning team. But the team never quite gelled somehow. Its hard to be critical about what was going on as we don't know any details. Stuart Dickson looks like a very capable manager and Kyle Howarth always speaks well in his role as captain. I wonder if Scott had not moved, the end result might have been different? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scott does seem to have the knack/skill of bringing the most out of a team, so would have only made a positive difference I would imagine. What seems almost the norm is most of the Premiership riders who did the business this season, underperformed in comparison in the championship, not totally sure of the reason, can't believe its machinery, but maybe the generally tighter tracks compared to BV and Peterborough?
