  1. You should only be allowed an NL rider ,not a guest up to the average of the reserve,if the lowest average reserve is missing this is the case! So why change the rule for other reserve is what I an saying.
  2. Think what happened to Holder last night and the Bewlay situation shows the weakness of not being Allowed a guest for second string and having to use R/r( not that I am a fan of guests) espiecially for injuries.Can see the point for missing riders but not injuries.
  3. Think a lot of teams must be thinking the same,to many injuries and EF's to make him worthwhile .Bit of a wasted talent IMO .
  4. Klindt is riding really well these days both for Poole and Worky,best I have seen him perform.
  5. If Taffy is No1 we must be going for strength in depth Team again.I Might have to turn down the offer I've had from Glasgow
  6. Perhaps he would not have turned away if he had seen a clock counting down,the start marshals have thankless job trying to get the riders to come into line a clock would solve that problem too.
  7. Agree,but I think Centre Green clock should be made compulsory at all tracks and riders ready to race rule before time up should be introduced.A lot of refs flash the green lights as a warning but not all do it ,which is an anomaly .
  8. Garrity pulling after 1 ride is not very professional,surely he has more than 1 bike in the van during the season.
  9. The promotion must be wondering what they can ,given the season the Comets are having,although the fixture list has been a nightmare for them.
  10. well done to the Comets,they will still be racing at Christmas the way they keep on winning
  11. There is nothing wrong with the Edinburgh track regarding shape or size,just takes abit of skill to master it.
  12. A lot of riders just wanted to leave the meeting in the Van they came in and in one piece.( this is not a critisisum of the track,just the riders mentallity)
  13. Financially on only Glasgow could compete with the " big boys" any other Teams would just be making up the numbers and whipping boys IMO .(take Leicester as an example of recent seasons).Personaly I think 1 League split North and South.just my opinion sure it won't happen though.If Teams you mention have to weaken to compete in lower division they would not survive on current rider demands as I can't see crowd levels increasing.
  14. If there is to be 2nd Brit he deserves a shot.IMO
  15. I not saying they should they shouldn't be riding in NL the concern would be can the league afford them.Ive no idea what money they will be on ,but sure it's not peanuts.There was talk of £10 / pt years ago,they certainly won't be riding for that( the majority).what are crowd levels at NL tracks?
  16. I agree with another poster thought Allitt was just trying to stop another mechanic getting involved.But hey ho ,you need abit of excitement these days as the racing at most venues these days has very little going for it.
  17. You would think WW3 had broke out the way this has been discussed it last about 10 seconds
  18. It's hard to tell how many NEW fans the sport is attracting but you can see by the crowd levels that we are losing a lot of OLD fans for various reasons,and just muddling along paying out more money every season.Its not going to end well for a lot of clubs.In the late 60's the National League was introducing and brought a lower level of competition and was an entry for young riders which was well supported and meaningful,now it seems we're just trying to reduced a lot of the sport to a lower level for financial reasons and expecting the fans to stump up to watch riders taking Promotions to the cleaners,will no real throughs for anybody but themselves and its wearing thin IMO .
  19. Agree, deep down you know another sticking plaster job coming up.
