More like trying to price himself out of a team place. I like how everyone thinks it’s the promotions fault. Also would Drew Kemp be an option for Workington? Looks like not in Berwick plans Another one of these fake news spreaders, stop insinuating stuff and trying to make out that somehow it’s his fault.

I'm more than willing to give the management the benefit of the doubt, but given Hooky has been 'counted out', this suggests the 1-7 is known... In which case, get on and announce it, rather than leaving question marks over decisions made, not made, or being made... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago The reason a team announcement is dragged out, is it usually gives publicity to the club over a few weeks. This season the make up of the league is not officially known, but seems the promotion know which direction the league is going , I was told all 7 riders are signed, BUT due to the official league set up / number of fixtures involved not known until rubber stamped at the AGM the full team may not be announced until after the AGM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don’t think there is a wrong or right way it’s solely down to what way suits them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drip feeding can have a negative effect if everyone knows the riders identities anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber75 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago The decision to not include Jacob Hook has created waves thats for sure. I would like to see some more announcements coming soon so that people can get to see what the plans and vision are. Im sure there s a good reason for the decision whoever's it was.

Drip-feeding signing announcements is by far the best way, as Plymouth obviously agree. Drip feeding works in place where each announcement gets a back page story in the local press. It doesn't work in cities where the news is dominated by football. Drip feeding announcements of reserves and second strings would get at most a single sentence in the news in Glasgow. Even Bomber would be no more than a paragraph. Different teams do it differently based on local knowledge on what works for them publicity wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Comets have posted on Facebook that season tickets details coming soon. So with this and Plymouth announcing season ticket details, must mean the league set up is decided just to be officially released by them in charge higher up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
