One way or the other we now have 8. I've promised to keep looking for Jinxy1 but if he's a no-show madhatters will step in. He has a problem but not with our team. I shall say no more.
|
|
By:
I'll give this a miss this time around, I'm sure the Shrewdies will do ok without me
 Good luck All and may the best team win |
|
By:
There are 45 confirmed, including custardcream64 who hasn't been assigned a team yet but wants to go with the Pins if shanelee is absent.
Question mark about mitolo and madhatters. No shows thus far from Jinxy1, shanelee1966, exactaman, OilyWragg, qqking, chavman. Don't think ItsMeSwaddle or SontaranStratagem are on the forum anymore? I have someone who may wish to join Racing Demons if qqking doesn't show. So 6 teams of 8 is very achievable if The (three) Shrewdies are willing to transfer. I'm away for a week, so if by next Wednesday we have 48 or fewer confirmed, then we'll go with the 6 x 8 plan. |

By:
I'm in Spain for a couple of months but will still be able to join the competion
 |
|
By:
Fine Jinxy1. You're in.
So we know our 8 and madhatters is off the hook for the moment. |
|
By:
undecided - I have someone who may wish to join Racing Demons if qqking doesn't show.
He's abroad at the moment and can't access the forum. I'll ask him if he's interested. |
|
By:
I'll happily transfer if needs be.
|
|
By:
undecided - qqking returns on Thursday and would like to rejoin if that's not too late.
|
|
By:
Can't see why it should be.
That gives The Demons their 8. |
|
By:
Hi chewy11
we still have vacancies and would welcome you on board any Shrewdie would be a valuable member just hope we afford the undisclosed transfer fee  |
|
By:
Yeh I don't mind but if teams want their own choice to join,no
worries. |
|
By:
We have another volunteer. A newbie to the comp I think known as the numbers seven.
|
|
By:
Sounds like an illegal approach for a member of my team?
 I will be lodging an official complaint against the EW thieves as soon as Undecided gets back! It's one thing to steal favourable Each Way terms from the enemy, but quite another to steal a player from one of the most honourable & most highly regarded teams in the competition  |
|
By:
I can get my wife Thai Basil to come out of retirement for one bet a week if needed, to make a team up Ud
|
|
By:
Aaaahhhh it's nice to be wanted!! Do you think we can get another 5 Whippin?
|
|
By:
Hi Whippin
I hope this appeal doesn't end up in the European Court Our Team cant afford that we have already overspent, Gravy Train has been cancelled & all our funds are going direct into salaries We were concerned about the new possibility of losing existing players We were saw the offering of a potential lifeline as a priority opportunity We are aware we only have 2 spots and there are 3 of you It was an S.O.S. Save Our Shrewdies offer |
|
By:
I think ud will have to sort this when he returns.
I can't see us getting the 7 teams we had last time but 6 is now feasible. I would have thought some concessions will have to be made ( Sorry didn't mean to sound like Trump ). |
|
By:
Let's hope it doesn't come to that, Stew! If it does end up in the European Court, they might rule that Chewy wouldn't be safe and take him away from the both of us and give full custody to a neutral team. lol
It now sounds like Chewy has a decision to make. Does he stick with the one paced, slow jumping but very safe Shrewdies who already have mid table mediocrity all sown up even before the comp starts! Or does he go for the quick, bold jumping but can take liabilities with the odd one, but also knows how to win when everything clicks, EW Thieves? |
|
By:
No problem Whippin
1, I was only trying to keep existing regular(s) in a Team/loop as a priority 2, Quite happy to try and approach guys who may just be interested but list of rules may make it sound like a bit of a chew on if they are already in other comps there is virtually no extra effort required 3, just hoping extra postings may just interest newcomers (aliases a bit of an issue) If all else fails sure Ud will resolve we could make the numbers up by nominating an on line/Newspapers Tipsters Nap of the day as a default or a different Team member have one extra selection each week, wild card type selection Im just rambling now, goodnight  |
|
By:
Mr_Spreadsheet has just contacted me to say you need someone clueless about horse racing to fool the opposition into believing they have a chance of beating us, I'm yer man count me in.
 Can I be in Andew and Mr_Spreadsheet’s team ? |
|
By:
In theory that team ( The Lucky Pins ) have already got 8. No sign of Shanelee but custardcream64 is in waiting.
undecided is back today. I'm beginning to understand how difficult all this is for him It looks as though we might have one or two too many for 6 teams but a long way short of 7. There is still mitolo who may well want to play. He has issues with 2 captains ( whose teams are now full anyway ) but could be fine in another team. |
|
By:
Also needing to be placed are the numbers seven and possibly nawshan . As I think the Thieves are now full ( Stewpot has been recruiting on HR),we may not be far off getting a team together for the Shrewdies.
|
|
By:
I'm getting very confused. I don't know how ud does this.
stewpot has actually been recruiting on this forum He has found Tommywestoflanark and happysandwich ( I misread the latter's post.) With the Pins able to bring on custardcream from the bench I think 5 teams are now full. 6 if ud decides that "wives" are allowed which would bring the Mob up to strength. That leaves the Shrewdies who I think only have 3 There are however the numbers seven ( definitely ) nawshan and mitolo ( possibly ) on the loose. I know a few of the old team have been magicked away but is chavman for one still around ? I think the balls in your court tbh WP. |
|
By:
No worries Stew. Your scouting system has delivered for you.
Thanks SS. I'll give the lads another day to sign in. But if they are a no show, I'd be happy to welcome Nashwan and Mitolo to the team if they wish to take up a spot? Myself & Mitolo will never agree on certain World issues but lets use this opportunity to show corrupt political leaders that peaceful middle ground can always been found if there's will to find it. |

By:
salmon, good on you for keeping an eye out.
I'll try and tot everyone up this evening, see where we are at |
|
By:
happy to join in, thanks for organising undecided
|
|
By:
I make it 52 now, hopefully 53 if mitolo plays.
That tells me we should push for the usual seven teams of 8 I'll post the latest team sheet and where everyone might fit in later tonight hopefully. |

Alright for some playing around while the danger of WW111 breaking out Ring any bells |

By:
aye stewpot, too comfortable, but I have it on good authority that there will be no war before the King hosts Donald Trump in the royal box at Ascot.
