I would've made the track 1m bigger than Glasgow, just so they could say "we're bigger than Glasgow" lol!
If worse comes to worse & track & stadium won't be ready for Apr 2023, they could always enter into the NL only, with only 8 home meetings needed (approx) could start the season in June / July?
I didn't see the match, but Worrall only lost to Wolves top 5 (who all have higher aves than him) & beat their reserves, plus beat Douglas once. So he's done what's expected of a 5.5 rider!
Actually they can do that this season (not saying I agree with it) as so many clubs have gaps in the fixture list & plenty of spare dates available (although less for clubs with NL teams).
Shanes replaced the injured Kinsley.
Berwick could be miffed at having to drop Flint, only for rule to change after one season! Could've cost them the league title last year.
Those averages for Iversen & Lawson are based on their last 18 matches. For July the rolling averages will be for their last 16 matches, so will change a little!
It makes sense for number 8s to be allowed to race in the Champ, otherwise riders like Dan & Joe Thompson would be giving up a full season of NL racing for potentially a couple of Prem fixtures.
If a rising star is riding every week in the Prem & Champ do they still need to be racing in the NL though?
However if only number 8s were allowed to "treble-up", King's Lynn could have listed Mulford as their RS & Edwards as their number 8 to allow Edwards to continue at NL. Could still pick Edwards every week ahead of Mulford - so if the rule is easily avoided - no point in having it!
I'm not sure that removing the rule is learning from previous errors. Last year Flint was going so well in Champ & NL he deserved a call up, so no longer needed the NL to improve as a rider.
I'd say it's a similar situation for Edwards, if he's good enough for the Prem, shouldn't be in the NL in my view.
Oxford only have one away match left to finish in a + position & overtake Redcar. Doing that would push Edinburgh into a - position. Also can't see Scunthorpe picking up many away points. Home wins should be enough for Redcar.
Whoever finishes 1st, 2nd & 3rd means nothing. It's all about avoiding 4th place. In a super heat a 5-4 is as valuable as a 7-2.
Never been a fan of this scoring system.
