  1. If Hume was in heat 12 & beat Bickley, Poole wouldn't have been 6 down after 13 + King wouldn't have been in heat 14!
  2. Been allowed ever since the tac sub was brought back!
  3. I don't know why a development league has to be a weak league? As you say lots of riders "developed" into Champ riders when the NL was stronger: Kyle Bickley, Leon Flint, Jack Thomas, Tom Brennan, Drew Kemp, Jason Edwards, Dan Gilkes, Dan Thompson, Joe Thompson, Max Clegg, Connor Mountain, Jack Smith, Alfie Bowtell, Danyon Hume, Anders Rowe, Jordan Jenkins, Jordan Palin, Ryan Kinsley & Luke Ruddick
  4. Personally I think Lawson has done better than expected, so Monarchs can only blame themselves for having unrealistic expectations of his ability!
  5. Why do league meetings need to take priority? At this rate the KOC will be raced in cold & wet October!
  6. It certainly does, means Edinburgh are more likely to make the play-offs!
  7. Totally agree with your first point, if the fans don't turn up in large numbers clubs need to be sensible with wages!
  8. It is annoying that they don't show aves for rising stars! Could they not add an asterisk with the grade next to ave?
  9. So what's the choices, ask fans for help & feel embarrassed but have speedway, or keep financial situation quiet, don't ask for help & close down?
  10. Very interesting reading posts like these 11 years later!
  11. Leicester is not the place to expect a 2.00 rider to score tbh!
  12. You also have to consider the crowd though, paying good money for some 1 lap races! They had a right a few years back, if you were losing a 5-1 & laid down for a re-run your partner started off 15m in the re-start!
  13. I disagree, riding at number 6 gives you rides against the opposition's 1-6, plus he's had many r/r rides covering number 2 races! I don't see a great downturn coming in his form!
  14. I guess that's more polite than saying, they're past it & should concentrate on Championship matches!
  15. If they knew they were getting dropped they'd want to score maximums so another team signs them up!
  16. Having heat 8 protected is pointless, unless your weakest reserve is at number 7! For example within the rules heat 8 could've consisted of Rory Schlein & Ryan Douglas vs Hans Andersen & Bjarne Pedersen / Chris Harris / Scott Nicholls! Does that heat need protecting?
  17. With all 6 Prem clubs racing a guest would have to be from the Champ?
  18. With such a solid team, there's no reason not to use r/r for Ostergaard!
  19. There's a few options to replace Bates: James Shanes, Dan Thompson, Alfie Bowtell, Nathan Greaves, Danyon Hume & Connor Bailey
  20. It's easy to say with hindsight, but could've use Hans more earlier on to spread out his races! However by putting your weakest reserve at 6 & giving him the hard races (after heat 2) it limits your options for "tactical" reserve changes!
  21. It'd be risky to hold a grudge as there's only 6 clubs to race for in the Prem!
