Calling all Humbugs. This year's comp is a bit later than usual but is starting on Feb 3rd which is a week tomorrow.
There are two main changes to the rules Firstly we are going back to having weekly rounds. Secondly there will be no autumn session so the comp will go through to July and then that's it. So there will be more of a sprint feeling to the whole thing this year.
I used to be able to do the c&p thing on my old computer but have never worked out how to do it on my new one tbh so if you want to read the rules yourselves you'll have to refer to undecided's thread.
I won't need to remind most of you that after being champions in 2010 for two years we have just been piped by the pesky Thieves
Revenge will be sweet
First of all can everybody confirm they are still alive and wanting to play please.

Thanks Deep I.
As you did it last week I'll handle it this . I have a couple picked out running late. I'll look at the scoreboard before deciding which.Just possible I might hear from barny. If I'm getting through to the right phone he should have my number.

Oh dear Lampus. That'd bad luck as Gifford couldn't train ivy up a wall. Imo of course.

I preferred the 3 day format. Sheer greed making it 4 days and diluting some of the races imo.

I've rung barny again but still just getting his voicemail. He has my number and I have a messaging service.I've told him I need a selection from him by 2.00 on Sat or we are recruiting. If he doesn't show I will have to check with undecided if there are any people waiting. If not does anybody know anybody who might be interested ?
In the meantime we probably need a wildcard on Sat running after 3.00. Deep I and I have done it so far so could one of the others put forward something please. I will put it up on Sat afternoon if no barny.

Gone for Chac Du Cadran ew in the Eider
Skipper, I am more than willing to put up a wildcard - I fancy one in the Racing+ Chase & that's not off until 3.50.
However, if someone else wants a go that's fine with me - I will look in again tomorrow morning

OK Deep I.
I really think somebody other than you or me should do it but if nobody volunteers I will use your in the 3.50 as the timing is right ( I've told barny he has till 2.00 ). If you could put it up on this thread I'll see if we get anything else.
Thanks. I have looked a bit vaguely at one or two of the later races and can't see much tbh.

If wild cards are needed my brave EW choice would be Miblish in the 1505 or a duller EW one Picansort in the 1650!

Morning all.
We'll go with one of twm's then if barny doesn't show,which seems about 1.01. I shall use my experise on the a/w to decide which one

Phew you picked the right one of my wildcard choices at least! Well the other may win but prob be similar odds!
I do occasionally get something right. Good pick by you though. Thought it might win for a moment.
It's not exactly an e-mail Lampus.

I'm going to start recruiting in about 24 hours. I'll PM a few people I know and if that doesn't work I'll advertise on HR.
If anybody has got somebody they know who is an obvious Humbug please let me know before tomorrow night.

Hello Hull city
You're just two days too late as I have just recruited to replace barny.
But you will get the call if we have another vacancy of course. Do act as our cheerleader in the meantime

The winner today from one of the new BARONS looks a bit controversial but I have checked and I THINK it is legitimate

We are actually on top for the week ( just ) thanks to the dealers 4-1 winner. Wd that man !

Hmmm. Not our day so far and mine and shearer's are both distinctly short.
Wd shearer who at least closes us out with a winner
That gives us 4th ,which is nothing to write home about,but is in fact our best result of the year so far.
Lampus and I are down for jumping lessons.
