To give an idea of the scale of the problem that this one signing would have to solve, a quick reminder of today's score...Scunthorpe 51, Brummies 25 + Guest 14. Actually Scunthorpe 46 + 5 guest. Not sure what that really means anyway as Oxford scored 22 + guests 20 for example Edited July 28, 2023 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who are they talking to? And what rider could turn them into a team that could beat Poole over two legs? Not even Zmarzlik could manage that! Find that hard to believe, but then again Birmingham promotion have often overestimated their teams ability. For the last two seasons Tolley has basically said they will be a play-off side, but they've yet to achieve that. He's not even suggested it's a possibility, more talked of it being a guarantee as I read it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean they are only looking to sign this rider if they make the play-offs? Surely if he's going to turn them into title favourites, they should sign him up now to ensure they make the top 6?

HGould Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 I think Nigel has lost the plot or been on the loopy juice or waccy baccy in deepest Kinver Cliff Houses. He's already claimed to be 200k down. He's possibly been alerted to someone who could come in on a 12 point average once Poland closes or once a veteran retired type can fit it in and facies blowing another bucket load. As others have said 15 or 18 points a meeting isn't going to cover deficiencies elsewhere and he'd need to be paying 4 or 5 grand a meeting to get anyone of that calibre. Simple maths says to cover home and away that said rider would have to put 500 on the gate every meeting at PB. One offaybe for a Hancock or Nikki type but even that's stretching it.

If the first test was inconclusive (which it must have been to require a second test) then it's inconclusive that he was under any kind of influence of drink or drugs.

Most drug testing require 2 samples as per rules though.The 2nd sample can be used to back up the 1st sample for the benefit of doubt in most cases I’ve read about.That surely is a benefit to the sportsperson involved.

SteveLyric2 Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 How about Hans Andersen on 7.00. Rumoured to have been sacked by Panthers today so could be looking for a Championship place?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Stewart signed Berge to Glasgow and first UK club. Given performances in swc don't think he'd be on a crazy average. Saying that Dimitri could pass Sam masters and lose to an nl reserve in the same meeting. Lacking consistency would be an understatement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
