Leicester don't have many lower order assets to protect so maybe it was to help Leicester out and they were allowed to have Howarth in return. It will be interesting to see how they deal with injuries this season as last season Leicester had to take Payne to Poole and as he only rode the few measly meetings in the NL obviously was nowhere near ready to guest in the EL.
They should have gone for a kind of jobshare for the no. 7's !!!!!
In.my experience it's not the fact that they don't get enough meetings to earn a living it's enough meetings to race at a good level. When you go 2 and 3 weeks without a meeting you can't compete. Richie Worrall said the same about only riding in the PL and they have twice as many meetings. If you aren't riding it's not costing you. Practicing isn't the same as you don't push yourself.
Tbf to Len Silvet he has made no secret of the fact he got caught out with unusually low NL points limit dictating his 4, 2, 6, 7 But their 1, 3 & 5 have done their job.
Incedently that was bought on by scunthorpe who signed a hotshot Fin and pulled out of the NL
They did this at Eastbourne this year once when heavy traffic delayed the start. I thought it worked well as a kind of warm up to the main event but EL riders would probably moan about the track. National league riders seem to moan less about such things
Brandon closing is a forgone conclusion. If Cov go to new Stadium, which I hope they do, and Fri is an option. Why not?
Not tasteless at all you see. Maybe don't judge everyone by your own standards
Cos he beats him
Well i'd pay good money to watch Boxall any day when they have a helmet on who cares how old they are lets face it bringing a succesion'young' through has hardly made the UK world beaters. We are relying on the likes of Hans Anderson, Peter Karlson, Greg Walasek to keep our EL going. Even Jason Doyle had 'reached his level' and should have been left for dead but now look. Who would have thought top 6 in the GP at 30. Shock horror
And they love being talked about so the best thing to do is ignore them. A whole thread about them will just fuel thr fire. I've faultered a couple of times. Which niggles me
