Argos 262 Posted December 26, 2017 Congratulations to Jon Cooke on assembling a very very good side, baring any injuries a Play off team for sure, and with there massive home track advantage they can beat any team on aggregate, the only downside is if the rumours I’ve heard are true it’s there new team manager, who has only ever Managed in the NL, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waco 1,026 Posted December 28, 2017 A young enthusiastic manager with experience whats wrong with that,,Will is ideal and knows several of the team from his time with Cradley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted December 28, 2017 Will Pottinger is your new team manager! You wanted someone tactically astute and I think you’ve found one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berniev123 58 Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) If Will clicks he should give you a great ride. Check what he did with NL Cradley over 8 years and what some of his ex riders are up to now. Great guy to boot. You can't keep him to yourselves tho' as we Midland 'Ommers need him too in the Trophy! Edited December 28, 2017 by berniev123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liam 376 Posted December 28, 2017 Can’t say I know too much about Will but seems like he knows his stuff. Looking forward to March now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StevePass 3 Posted January 3, 2018 Despite the club offering season tickets at reduced prices for a promotional period there has been no conformation of the proposed choice of race night, I contacted the club to explain that as a season ticket holder of some years standing there are some nights that I am unable to attend (Thursdays) as yet I am still awaiting a response. any thoughts on this?

TonyE 822 Posted January 3, 2018 It is to the club's discredit that they have not responded to you at all. Personally, I cannot see Thursday ever being a night of choice for the Hammers - Fridays and Saturdays are favourite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep up Jenga. Premiership will ride Mondays & Wednesdays & some Thursdays(Swindon at home). Friday, as you say, should be a no no as Workington were refused a change of race night so Saturday should be their option. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whole reason Cook had to decline the Premier League was because mid week race nights don't pay. Friday/Saturday have been the only viable race nights for years, and that's what it seems it will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyE 822 Posted January 3, 2018 I cannot see anyway that Jon Cook would apply to join the Championship without assurances that Hammers would get Friday or Saturday as their race night. Any other night and we might as well pack up now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
