Might explain why some have said they were planning to drop Div 2? Although "sponsors" might be able to top this up maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know the ins and outs of it, but I guess someone outside a club could sponsor a ride according to their points. But a club can't channel money through someone else. I think the league do some kind of auditing on that. Unfortunately I can't remember where I read what Bomber said, otherwise I'd point it out. He didn't say a lot, but he did reference it at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinny 2,580 Posted October 27, 2023 Harris and Ben Cook top 2. Complin and Pijper reserves. How many points does that leave for other 3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinny 2,580 Posted October 27, 2023 You'd have to expect Bailey back after his season just gone and the fact he is a Glasgow asset isn't he? Also, doesnt he work for the Glasgow owners during the week? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ragdoll64 657 Posted October 27, 2023 In view of some recent rumours, how about………Harris, B Cook, Flint, Hume, Borke, Complin, Pijper. 37.93 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cast1rn 483 Posted October 27, 2023 I do love it when the "I know more than you do " brigade show up. My assumption would be with the Riders that are leaving announced, that Bomber, Complin and Ace are most probably staying. The trick will be to get a strong 5 in probably around the 8 mark so it doesn't take a genius to work out that it's coming from the batch of ........ King,Worral,Kerr,cook,Lawson,Nichols,howarth or Wright. I would also assume by taking one of those at 5 to get a heat leader at 3 would be between 5.5 and 6.5, leaving two riders in the 4's - 5's to fill the second strings. Watching what other teams are doing helps you narrow everything down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
