But does Palin & Flint's improvement have anything to do with the "rising star" system! They were picked for their teams long before it was thought up & would have improved anyway!
The same rules don't apply to both teams when it comes to the scores though! Home teans can't get 4 match points away teams can etc. Do you agree with this scoring system?
It would be more accurate to say it's like the losing team getting an extra substitute or playing 12 vs 11! An extra penalty would be like the tactical joker rule!
Don't know if there's any pressure on Peterborough! Gonna make the play-offs & 1st place is no great advantage as if you want to be the Champions need to beat any club over 2 legs!
The Champ feels strong because clubs can have 3 x Prem heat leaders in their side! But with a stronger top division these riders wouldn't be Prem heat leaders & the Champ wouldn't look so strong!
Despite the much heralded signing of Ellis as a top Championship rider, he has been an 8.00 man at Champ level for a while & surprisingly not gotten much above that!
