  1. Roynon & Bowen - are you serious? You wanted to bring in those 2 instead of Allen and ...?? Why are they both holding such low averages? You know a like for like replacement has to average less than the rider is replacing, unless you want to redeclare the team? And how were you going to have Brady Kurtz guesting for Ostergaard at Berwicj along with Fish for Grondal?
  2. Grondal should do an ok job - he was struggling to find a setup apparently. Should get to an ok middle order level. Obviously replacing the weekly guest scores of Brady Kurtz with Grondal's will cause a bit of a reduction, but in fairness, Kurtz only scored 6 from 5 and then 9 from 5 in his last 2 guest appearances!! But given the choice was r/r for Allen, or signing someone like Grondal, it was a choice that had to be made. R/r for most of the season is too much of a strain. As far as the other major error as pointed out by Lukas (Grondal was the first), I would say that Konopka needs to be given the benefit of the doubt at the moment. OK he only "earned" one of his points yesterday, but he might just need better equipment. There have been other slow developers in the past.
  3. Felt like midnight. If you're having 24 races you need to get on with it.
  4. I agree with lasse (even if he is a big girl's blouse) - ostergaard dumped him in the fence and should have been out. Redcar deserved a point.
  5. Redcar - 1 heat leader / 4 second strings / 2 reserves. Track looks bare to me. Grondal will be ok. Maybe 2 heat leaders!
  6. Have they actually paid or is it paper talk? Will we get cash for max?
  7. Best of luck to Emil Grondal. It's a big ask to hit a 7 point average - very few do in their first season. But he seems to have the support team and backing in place and he is keen to come so that goes a long way. Might be able to pop along on Sunday if it's not too hot!!
  8. You're missing the point if you're only going to dwell on spelling mistakes. And why would you be so certain that no-one would consider legal action? Do you mean that only the defendant has bottomless pockets to defend the case? Anyway I am thankful to Moorwell for coming on here to give the promoter's point of view. I trust he hasn't been put off.
  9. Williamson is certainly a COLOURFUL replacement!!
  10. Konopka will average 3 or 4, especially at home, but it's probably not enough to make a big difference from what Greenwood would have scored.
  11. Certainly doesn't strengthen Rye. Aspegren up into the top 5 and young Greenwood as the German's reserve partner. It's taking young Erik Riss a while to find his feet at Edinburgh so I expect similar from Maasen
  12. Dang - a point out. Never going to score much at reserve with konopka in.
  13. I totally disagree with your supposition that certain promoters only have their own clubs' interest at heart. .
