A bit pointless if you ask me Telling us who it is might get a few more season tickets sold and much-needed money in the coffers ahead of the season starting, I know people who are holding off until they know the final lineup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really? With Worky being so entertaining now, two former GP heat-leaders and exciting new names coming in for the first CL season? Surely there aren't such obsessed folk who won't buy a season ticket until they knew the name of a middle-order rider? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree the sooner the full team is announced, some people will then decide whether to buy a season ticket. Season Ticket sales help cover start up costs prior to the new season before money comes in via admission to meetings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until the Buster got involved with Panthers, I had a season ticket for 12 years. This was to help the club, as I always missed a couple of meetings, due to holidays. If we had a good team, it was a bonus. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh dear, I havent a clue what your first sentence is meant to mean ? Its just gobbledegook ! And funnily enough I know that its not up to me to "tell the workington promotion when and how to release information about signings" ???? !!!! I have never suggested that. Again, utter gobbledegook ! I was merely trying to inform those that said the Comets team has been sorted, that according to information received very recently, (and no I am not going to say from who), IT ISNT. I was simply told that the final rider has NOT yet been signed ! Why would my source then deliberately lie to me about it if the complete team HAS been signed ? Incidentally its a long time since I was at school, but geography was my favourite subject. I very quickly learned that we are not in Russia !! Well done for working that one out. End of discussion.
