  1. That Matt Ford is a genius - now he can even hack the Sky Sports website to leak the news!!(and delete it again) (tongue in cheek sarcastic smiley not available on phone)
  2. I think they just havent updated from last years set up.
  3. Whilst I agree with the new changes givubg priority to clubs using their own assets I would temper you arguement re the split of assets. The EL have had a distinct advantage in gathering assets in that they can sign and claim a rider without him turning out for them. A few on your list fit that category and you could say that without the other leagues that there would be no way these would ever develop to a point where they are usable. In summary Id say that there has to be at least 2 tiers and they need to work in unison to ensure a clear opportunity of progression. FWIW despite my team being adversely affected (Ipswich -Worrall/Ellis) I think the changes are the fairest solution to a difficult problem.
  4. Was surprised to see Cam Heeps listed as I thought his wrist was still in a cast and due to be be so for a little longer. If he is riding I hope he isnt doing more harm than good.
  5. Will the newbie even know if the teams are missing any of their normal riders though and if they do will they be bothered? It will be the regulars that will be narked by it. Agree it will be a shame if Adam misses so many meetings especially as his PL rides may well be against tougher opposition compared to his EL draft rides!
  6. You may well be right re Adam as this is certainly the case re the 'normal' double up positions. That said there has been nothing official yet as to whether the same guidelines apply to the draft riders.
  7. Praise the lord the blindman can see!! Miracles do happen after all. Just not big enough ones for Brady to be a 3!
  8. Lots of threads mentioning that the fixtures will be released at 9am tomorrow. Which fixtures are the ones you most look forward to? For me this year it will be the return of the battles with the Panthers.
  9. Paranoia!! A Brit can be signed by an EL club as an asset without the requirement to ride a minimum number of meetings. Eg Adam Ellis - Lakeside. This is no longer applicable to non Brit riders so it depends whether Brady is accepted as a Brit as to whether it is a possibilty in this case. not by you though I take it!
  10. Not sure about for free but if you had all the kids on your own after a few weeks youd look old enough to qualify for an OAP concession!!
  11. Probably too diplomatic!! I tend to try to look for the positive. No point dwelling on and being negative about some matters especially those that you have little or no influence over.
  12. The positive if there is any in a stuation such as this is that it is being sorted now in January and not in March or worse in mid season. Whatever the rights and wrongs and whatever side you may take now come the action all in the camp and on the terraces need to be pulling in the same direction.
  13. would rather have the cash - make it 5th prize in place of the ice cream voucher!
  14. There is a big difference between using youre ISA allowance and rules which enable multi millionaires to pay less tax than someone on minimum wage.
  15. Unless every 1000 people only look like 800 on the books!! shocked face!
  16. To be fair in the Aussie champs he was up in the group with Josh G Rohan and Woodward and ahead of the group such as Masters North Campton and Nelson. If he gets it right he could be on the list for this thread - that said he could lose his mojo and end up on the counter thread list!
  17. **testing out the sound system as well eh!! Good luck to all the hardy souls that turn up.
  18. Well done Rohan - to win a round shows a real step up in his level. Ultimately the puncture in round 1 has cost him the bronze medal.
  19. Good to see indeed! I understand Rohans visa doesnt run out untill March hence the need to be here in Feb to sort it out 4 weeks ahead as per the requirements.
  20. I think Nicki may go with 666 to play on his reputation! wink.
  21. Would be quite ironic if after initially being left out in the cold he ended up with a choice of half a dozen clubs!
  22. Hopefully that means any visa issues are/will be sorted for him (and all others)
  23. Id say youre right that my example is rather illogical. I made it very much to make the point that it is that type of logic that has previously been applied to suit in previous rulings and there in lies much of theproblem. It is equally illogical for a rule written in order to assess an average dependant on experience to be able to be interpreted as an average reduction simply because a season ends. The same experience has been gained and isnt reduced because of a calender date.
  24. If you take the 'currently riding' wording literally then unless any rider is mid heat they are not currently riding. Another example of poor drafting of a rule or manipulation of a technical loophole for advantage. delete as suits!
