The semi pros moving up are correct, pros look about right!

Are Tigers gonna play next season or sell the spot?

Not a dig, just a question...it's a lot of money that could be spent on paint etc

 

[Ronnie Hollington]

thats a very good question Matski, i know its not a dig.

we definatly tried to do to much this year and as a result suffered. Does anyone honestly know what a spot is worth? i supose its = supply/demand

We all really like playing the NPPL the format of playing all your prelim games saturday is so much better. so we will have to see when everyones back and offers are on the table, till then its really hard to early to say what we will decide.

 

[jj igotcha]

iam no expert but i personally think it would be very hard for any of the european teams to justify staying in the pro nppl bracket, in all honesty can any of the 3 euros left say they would generate more revenue in sponsorship, marketing, etc than they would by selling their spot if the figures robbo has been quoting on another thread are realistic. it would be sad to see the tigers, nexus and joy not compete next year but robbo has long cited the benefits of investment in training rather than the transatlantic jaunts and then perhaps european domination would be acheivable for these teams. only the teams themselves will know what to decide but i very much doubt any early decisions.

I really can't see Joy flogging their spot, they are consistantly at the top of the table and I feel it's only a matter of time until they get a podium.

Tigers and Nexus..... well it depends on a couple of things:
1) If the Millenium Series pulls it's finger out and once again gives us a circuit to be proud of. Or in their place, will the NPPL's presence over here be sufficient?
2) How much of a chance they feel they have at staying in the top 18 next year with XS, Bobby & Ironmen moving up. With the competition in Semi-pro getting so tough I feel that niether team stands much chance getting back in they fall off the end of the table in 06.

If Nexus have picked up Tony Perez AND there's the potential of TV getting involved then POTENTIALLY whoever is in the televised first year COULD be in the right place at the right time. If you just so happen to be a cute* British team that someone in the States might get excited about then MAYBE it would be worth staying in... even if you weren't making the podium. Perhaps???

*cute in a completely masculine sort of way

I personally feel that Nexus should stay in the NPPL but then I'm not the guy counting the beans and I dont have a clue what the Millenium or NPPL may be doing in europe.
