Unsure why he left us but seemed to do a good job whilst here, he's got a decent gig over there knowing he'll never be judged by the quality of youth players in the first team because they don't use them.

probably take balmforth with him

The story I heard was Riding was well liked (maybe a bit old school though and like a car saleman), but people rate Tate very very highly, if we didn't offer him a bigger role, he was going, as offered a bigger role at another superleague club.

Need to get Balmforth amd Staveley signed up, as think he brought them here.

I think if we offer him a deal he will stay, seems to like it here and Cartwright speaks very highly of him.

Hopefully will get a chance with Abdul gone amd not replaces, which could be a massive plus side to not getting Sneyd.

Pete Ridings very experienced at what he does and I'm sure he'll be a great addition to the coaching staff we have in our academy. This shows that the club are taking the academy seriously nowadays otherwise why waste the money on another salary.

Doesn't he replace Lovegrove?

I've not heard of anyone leaving, I just read it as he was an addition.

Been rumoured for a while he has gone and want on the team photo, I don't think.

Well he wasn't going to stay when he used the Clinton Baptiste phrase on a players Dad

It’s rather a tenuous link between Balmforth Staveley and Riding.
Could understand it if Riding was head coach.
Besides, kr already have
Litten, mcilorum and leyland..
Their back row is also well stocked.
Just can’t see it happening.

Don’t know enough either way to have an opinion on the decision to let him go from our point of view. It does seem like Rovers are now wanting to throw money at the academy now, so now we’ve got the new owners and funding it’s important we stay on the ball with this. I know they’ve already put plans in motion to sweep up the best junior talent in the city we need to keep up with them IMO. I’m sure at the forum AP did actually say something about Richie knows we have to get into the community game more or something along those lines so hopefully we’re on it.
